Step 3: Make sure guard is in correct position and the top edge is parallel with the body tub (Fig B) and the
front door cut out is even on back edge of door. (Fig A)
Step 4: With the guard tight against the body and holes lined up, use a marker or scribe to mark the holes.
(Fig B)
Step 5: Carefully remove guard from vehicle. NOTE: Be sure to check backside of all hole locations
for wires or other obstructions. Center punch all marked holes. Drill all holes using a 7/16”
drill bit. Make sure to clean off any burrs after drilling, we also recommend using touch up paint or
a clear coat to go over any exposed metal. (Fig C) On late model TJ’s an access hole may be needed
to install washer and nut on the front lower hole on the corner guard. (Fig H,I) This can be achieved
using a 1” hole saw/bit or something similar.
(Fig C) (Fig D)
Use the 3 ½” long bolt for the lower
bottom corner hole. You will need to
drill through the inner pocket wall also.
Use the factory
hardware where the
holes line up with
the OEM nut inserts
Install guard using the 3/8”
counter sunk bolts.
