Very easy. It took less than 10 minutes. Check YouTube for a detailed step by step video.
OMG! How did you do this?Tested out Google Maps on CarPlay
Also, one last time with the top off.
Thanks for the heads up!
What kind of rear view light is that?So far...
Whew! Rock Slide Engineering Power Slide Steps are installed!
The main issues I had:
You're supposed to slide the front middle and back brackets between the body bolt and washer for each of the three body mounts on the drivers and passenger side of the Jeep. Here are some pictures ***FROM ROCK SLIDE ENGINEERING'S WEBSITE
From the pictures there as well as from the video tutorial Rock Slide Engineering has, these brackets should just slide in there between the bolt head and the washer, that didn't happen for me. The washer wouldn't move up the bolt. The threads for the bolt were in the way - almost as if the washer was placed on the bolt before they even threaded it. I had a fraction of the space that is there and boy was it a PITA getting the bracket on there. It was a combination of grading down a layer of the bracket's coating and wailing on it with a dead blow hammer. I'm not sure if anyone else had this issue. On to the next issue.
Once the brackets and sliders are installed it's time to wire them up. There are holes in the rear passenger and rear driver's footwells (these are NOT the drain holes in the front passenger and driver wells). On either side you need to feed the power actuator and lighting wires into the respective sides. As you can see from the next picture ***ALSO FROM FROCK SLIDE ENGINEERING'S WEBSITE you can see the top left picture is the hole on the driver's side, notice how large it is. It accommodates both wires easily. The bottom right picture is the passenger hole and neither wire would fit by itself, let alone with two wires. I was in a pickle here, there is nothing in the instructions about this and nothing I could find on this forum - so I just used a bastard file and made the hole a bit larger to accommodate the wires. You can even see the hole in the picture looks a bit jagged like they did it themselves which is also weird why it isn't mentioned at all....
Well that was really all I could think of, other than breaking a ratchet extension off while trying to torque the body bolts to 80 ft. lbs and a couple other banged knuckles and bloody boo boos the steps are installed and they're fantastic!
This was a busy weekend, I also installed the Maximus 3 Stinger
On the spare? Rigid Industries driving beam w smoke cover
lol...this is Lit, literallyHere are night shots of the cheapo LEDs:
Nevermind the spare in the back...
Where did you find a Mopar replacement hitch for $57?
You have the curvature of the bracket facing the wrong way. Take light off rotate the bracket 180 and reinstall. The housing to the light has a curved groove/track for the bracket. Maybe bracket can be used both ways though I'm not sure.
Yes, do tell.
You put in the rear cup holders that the cloth package gets. NiceMade the Jeep in my floormats the right color, Mojito!
