NOTE: on some year model Jeeps there may
be a small sheetmetal bracket on the side of the
frame rail near the location of the center outrigger
on the passenger side. If this is present on your
Jeep it may be necessary to cut off this bracket
and grind it smooth in order for the Rocker
Knocker™ to fit properly. Primer and paint any
bare metal after cutting and grinding, to prevent
rust.
11.
Complete the driver side Rocker Knocker™
pre-installation by re-installing and tightening
the OE transmission skid plate crossmember
bolt at the forward outrigger, and the OE
gas tank skid plate bolts at the two rearward
outriggers. Repeat the process of drilling
and bolting the outriggers to the sides of
the body mount brackets, as detailed in the
instructions for the passenger side. Once
the pre-installation is complete and fitment
for both sides is confirmed, remove both
Rocker Knockers™ for paint or powder coat.

12. Paint or powder coat the Rocker Knockers
and removable skid plates. If painting
yourself, we recommend thoroughly cleaning
the parts then using a high quality etching
primer on the bare metal, followed by the
paint color of your choice.
13. Once paint is dry, install the removable
skid plates to the Rocker Knockers using
the supplied 1/4-20 X 3/4 SS Flat Head Cap
Screws, Flat Washers and Lock Nuts.
14. Perform the final installation of the Rocker
Knockers onto the Jeep with the same
hardware and procedures used during the
pre-installation.
FIGURE 11
NOTE: You may choose to weld the Rocker
Knockers directly to the frame and body mount
brackets for ultimate strength, if you choose.
Before doing so, however, first pre-install
the Rocker Knockers using only the bolt-on
procedures outlined above. Then try installing
the removable skid plates while the Rocker
Knockers are installed on the Jeep. Confirm that
you will be able to reach the nuts on the back
side of the Rocker Knocker with a wrench, for
installing and removing the skids, before welding
the Rocker Knockers in place.
