Locate the driver-side front mounting
bracket, remove the hole plug and
insert an M10 bolt plate. Slide a plastic
bolt retainer over the threads of the
bolt plate to hold the bolt plate in place.
Slide an M8 clip nut over
the lower mounting point.
Note: The lower mounting holes may
need to be enlarged to 5/16" to allow
for an M8 hex bolt to fit.
Step 3
Place the front driver-side mounting
bracket over the mounting points.
Secure the top mounting point using
an M10 flat washer, M10 lock washer

Step 4
Locate the driver-side rear mounting
point. Insert an M12 bolt plate into the
upper mounting point. Slide a plastic
bolt retainer over the threads of the
bolt plate to hold the bolt plate in place.
Slide an M8 clip nut over
the lower mounting hole.
Place the driver-side rear mounting
bracket over the mounting points
and secure the bracket to the upper
mounting point using an M12 flat
washer, M12 lock washer and M12
hex bolt. Secure the lower mounting
point using an M8 hex bolt, M8 lock
washer and M8 flat washer.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.
Note: Some vehicles may require
the lower mounting hole to be drilled.
Mark the location of the lower slot
on the pinch weld and drill a 5/16" hole.
Install the bracket using the supplied M8
clip nut, hex bolt, lock washer
and flat washer, as instructed.
Step 5
Locate the short driver-side running
board. Slide the two C-shaped track
mounting brackets into the rail slots.
Step 6
Carefully place the running board
onto the mounting brackets.
Align the C-shaped track mounting
brackets with the mounting brackets
on the vehicle.
Attach the C-shaped track mounting
brackets to the mounting brackets
using M8 hex bolts, lock washers
and flat washers.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.

Repeat steps 2 through 4 to install
the two front mounting brackets.
Step 9
Locate the middle passenger-side
mounting point and remove the
tape covering the mounting holes.
Slide an M8 clip nut in through the
access hole and over the smaller
adjacent hole.
Slide a second M8 clip nut over the

Step 10c.
Install the M8 threaded inserts
in the 7/16" holes with the supplied
thread set tool.
Screw the left hand nut completely onto
the thread set tool and slide the metal
spacer onto the larger thread until it rests
against the left hand nut.
Place an M8 flat washer on the small
thread followed by an M8 threaded
insert. Thread the M8 insert onto
the small end of the tool until it seats
the washer against the shoulder
between the M10 and M8 threads.
Step 10b.
If drilling is required, level the
running board using the front
mounting brackets as an anchor point.
Hold the rear brackets in position
against the side of the body panel
and mark the slot locations.
Drill 7/16" holes for the top mounting
location on the middle bracket and
two rear brackets.

Step 11
Locate the long passenger-side running
board. Slide five C-shaped track
mounting brackets into the rail slots.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 to secure the
running board to the mounting brackets.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.
Step 12
At this time, adjust the running board
to the desired location.
With the running board in position, it is
recommended to tighten all brackets to
the vehicle first, followed by the running
board connections.
For recommended torque specifications,
refer to the table on page one.
Step 10d.
Place the M8 insert into the 7/16"
drilled hole. Using an open-ended
wrench, hold the left hand nut on
the thread set tool.
With a socket, turn the head of the bolt
clockwise until the left hand nut and
metal spacer contact the M8 washer
and M8 insert. After tension is felt,
carefully compress the insert in the hole
while applying slight pressure to keep it
seated (approximately two full rotations).
WARNING: Over tightening the
insert may damage to the thread set
tool and / or vehicle rocker panel.
Only compress the M8 insert enough
to seat it in the hole without rotating.
Follow steps 8 through 10 to complete
the installation to the two remaining
rear passenger-side brackets.
An M8 clip nut will no longer
be required for the top mounting
location on the rear brackets.
