Rock-Slide Engineering TJ REAR BUMPER - Manual (Page 4)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION RSEI 105
c. Install the 2 nutserts in the holes that were just drilled into the frame
cross member
d. We suggest using a crimping tool to optimize the integrity of the nutserts
to support the slider
e. If no crimping tool is available, follow these instructions
i. Install by using a 5/16’’x1.125’’ minimum length bolt with a 3/8’’
nut
ii. Put a small amount of grease on the bolt to reduce friction
iii. Hold the nut steady with an end wrench so the flange of the insert
is flush against the cross member
iv. Tighten the bolt against the nut to crimp the nutsert into place
v. If the nutsert is rotating, place a star-lock washer between the
3/8’’ nut and nutsert
vi. Once the nutsert is crimped into place completely back out the
bolt
vii. If the nutsert ever breaks loose and spins, repeat the process and
crimp it tighter to prevent spinning
Completed nutserts should look like this
4. Attach Bumper

to the Jeep. Each side of the bumper has two bolts from the frame to the
back of the bumper one bolt from the bottom of the bumper bracket to the
bottom of the frame
b. Loosely attach both sides
c. Attach the center of the bumper to the frame cross member that has nutserts
