• Anti-sieze compound

• Pneumatic or electric cut-off wheel & grinder (some year

models only)

• Fine-tip felt pen or center punch & hammer

INSTALL PREPARATION:

1. Park vehicle on a level surface and set the emergency

brake. You will want to wear eye protection beyond this

point in time.

2. If your Wrangler is a Rubicon edition or it is equipped

with rocker protection or steps, they will now need to be

removed. Factory installed rocker protection is held on by

four (4) nuts in the pinch weld and two (2) bolts that go into

the bottom of the tub.

3. Using a ¼” drive, 10mm socket and 13mm socket

remove the hardware that fastens the rocker protection to

the Jeep. Do not discard the hardware as you will need it to

reinstall the rockers. Remove the factory rocker protection

from the Jeep by gently pulling it away from the tub.

Install the drivers’ side Rocker Knocker™ by sliding the mounting flange of the forward outrigger in between the bottom of the frame rail and the transmission skid plate crossmember (auto trans models).

You will want to start with a small pilot hole of 3/16” or so, and step up the hole size at least one size before reaching the final hole size of 29/64”. Be careful to hold the drill very straight and steady on the final pass, as the hole will be threaded in the next step. 6.

POISON SPYDER CUSTOMS INST-17-08-030_A • JK 2-Dr Rocker Knockers™—Frame Mounted NOTE: on some year model Jeeps there may be a small sheetmetal bracket on the side of the frame rail near the location of the center outrigger on the passenger side. If this is present on your Jeep it may be necessary to cut off this bracket and grind it smooth in order for the Rocker Knocker™ to fit properly. Primer and paint any bare metal after cutting and grinding, to prevent rust. 11.
