POISON SPYDER CUSTOMS INST-17-08-030_A • JK 2-Dr Rocker Knockers™—Frame Mounted 4

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 t properly. Primer

and paint any bare metal after cutting and grinding, to

prevent rust.

11. Complete the driver side Rocker Knocker™

pre-installation by re-installing and tightening the OE

transmission skid plate crossmember bolt at the forward

outrigger, and the OE gas tank skid plate bolts at the

two rearward outriggers. Repeat the process of drilling

and bolting the outriggers to the sides of the body mount

brackets, as detailed in the instructions for the passenger

side. Once the pre-installation is complete and ﬁtment for

both sides is conﬁrmed, remove both Rocker Knockers™

for paint or powder coat.

12. Paint or powder coat the Rocker Knockers and

removable skid plates. If painting yourself, we recommend

thoroughly cleaning the parts then using a high quality

etching primer on the bare metal, followed by the paint

color of your choice.

13. Once paint is dry, install the Slider Plates to the

Rocker Knockers using the supplied 1/4-20 X 3/4 SS Flat

Head Cap Screws, Flat Washers and Lock Nuts.

14. Perform the ﬁnal installation of the Rocker Knockers

onto the Jeep with the same hardware and procedures

used during the pre-installation.

NOTE: You may choose to weld the Rocker Knockers

directly to the frame and body mount brackets for

ultimate strength, if you choose. Before doing so,

however, rst pre-install the Rocker Knockers using

only the bolt-on procedures outlined above. Then try

installing the removable skid plates while the Rocker

Knockers are installed on the Jeep. Conrm that

you will be able to reach the nuts on the back side

of the Rocker Knocker with a wrench, for installing

and removing the skids, before welding the Rocker

Knockers in place.
