b. 4-Door: six (6) nuts in the pinch weld

flange (Figure 1) and three (3) bolts that

go into the bottom of the tub (Figure 2).

FIGURE 1

Using the 1/4” drive ratchet, 10mm socket

and the 13mm socket remove the hardware

that fastens the rocker protection to the Jeep.

FIGURE 2

Do not discard the hardware—you will need

it to reinstall the rockers. Remove the factory

rocker protection from the Jeep by gently

pulling it away from the tub.

3. Apply masking tape onto the front and rear

fender flares. You will want to make sure you

apply the tape from the bottom of the flare up

at least ten (10) inches. This step will help

eliminate scratches during installation.

4. Apply several pieces of tape (about three

inch sections) to the back of the Body Armor.

This step will help eliminate scratches during

installation.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Start with the drivers side. Open the

door(s) and hold the Body Armor panel up

and position it on the tub. Make sure the gap

around the door is equal front to back and

the body armor is level to the bottom of the

door. See figure 4. Use the bar clamps to

clamp the Body Armor panel into place (with

the door open you can clamp through the

door opening).

2. Use the 1/4” bit and drill motor to drill the

first two mounting holes using the Body

Armor as your drill guide. Use the forward

and rearward most holes. Make sure you do

not drill through the inner panel.

3. Remove the Body Armor from the Jeep

and set aside.

4. Use the 25/64th drill bit and open up the two

holes you just drilled. Take your time drilling

these holes, the larger drill bit may catch and

distort the hole. Make sure you do not drill

through the inner panel.

5. Apply some touch up paint to the areas

where bare metal is exposed; this will aid in

the prevention of corrosion.

6. Using the nut insert tool and the separate

instructions provided, install nut-serts into

the holes you just drilled. Do not over tighten

the nut inserts; this will cause them to distort

and not fasten to the body correctly.
