Step 6: Position guard back on vehicle and attach using the included counter sunk bolts. Fig D (It may be
easier to clamp the guard on again and then insert bolts) Do not fully tighten at this time.
Make sure the pre-drilled holes in the guard for the flares and rear OEM parts line up with the holes
in the body. The two long counter sunk bolts go into the lower corner hole next to the tailgate.
(1per side) Fig E. NOTE: If any of the holes are slightly off simply open them up using a slightly
larger drill bit. Once all bolts are inserted and the remaining holes are lineup, you may tighten
completely.
Step 7: Flare Installation (Fig G, H) For ease of installation you can drill out the factory holes to ¼”
FACTORY FLARE- install over the corner guard using the factory hardware.
XRC FLARE – install over the corner guard using the included 6mm Allen head bolts.
NO FLARE- use the included 6mm hardware to secure the edge around the wheel well.
NOTE: If you have factory nut inserts in the lower holes for the flare openings, use the factory
hardware.
Step 8: Re-install factory pieces over corner guard. (Taillights, gas door, bezel, ect.) Installation is now
complete. Repeat same steps for opposite side. (Fig I, J)
On late model TJ’s and CJ’s an access hole from the inside of the vehicle may
be needed on the backside of hole to gain access in order to install washer and
nut. This can be done by using a 1” hole saw or something similar.
