STEP SLIDER INSTALLATION 1. Remove the stock rocker panel guards or tube steps if equipped 2. The top bracket will be installed first (If the brackets are not symmetrical make sure you install the correct bracket on the correct side) 3. The bracket start point is at the body seam near the front door. (see picture below) The bracket has a lower piece with holes which almost touches the seam. The longer top part will go beyond the seam. The front of the bracket almost touches the seam 4.
Make sure to get the front of the bracket positioned as described in step 3. a. This works best with two people holding the bracket and a third person marking the holes b. With bracket in the correct location, mark the location of the holes with a marker on the panel of the truck. These will be the locations for the nutserts to be installed in the body. 5. Carefully drill a 7/32’’ pilot hole into the center of the marked points into the truck’s rocker side a.
a. We suggest using a crimping tool to optimize the integrity of the nutserts to support the slider We use a Marson nutsert tool b. If no crimping tool is available, follow these instructions i. Install by using a 5/16’’x1.125’’ minimum length bolt with a 3/8’’ nut ii. Put a small amount of grease on the bolt to reduce friction iii. Hold the nut steady with an end wrench so the flange of the insert is flush against the body panel iv. Tighten the bolt against the nut to crimp the nutsert into place v.
10. Place step slider in place and put two countersunk bolts in the matching holes to hold the slider in place. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THESE BOLTS. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR WITH THESE PARTICIALLY INSTALLED IT COULD DAMAGE YOUR DOOR. a. Make sure you put included anti-seize on bolt, since it is stainless steel and when stainless steel is bolted into steel it can be hard to remove 11. Attach the back bracket to step slider body with two or three bolts and position it in place as to where to secure it to the truck.
18. Attach the slider to the top bracket using the stainless steel bolts. Don’t forget to use the anti-sieze on each stainless steel bolt 19. Tighten the bolts from the back bracket to the step slider body 20. These holes are elongated to allow for any adjustments that need to me made. 21. When the slider is mounted make sure that you have not twisted or manipulated the shape of the slider with you tightening sequence. THIS WILL CAUSE THE STEP TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. 22. Attach the strengthening bracket. a.
b. Slide the bracket behind the washer of the body mount bolt and use the provided bolt and washer to attach the bracket to the step slider c. Attach the bottom of the bracket to the step slider assembly using the bolt and washer provided 23. Double check all bolts to verify components and hardware are installed correctly and securely to the truck ***Please note: Expect some variance in parts that may require you to adjust the tension of bolts to make parts fit correctly and properly.
WIRING HARNESS INSTALL Step Slider Wiring Diagram Driver Side Front Door Sensor Rear Door Sensor Driver LED Light Driver Actuator Wire Color Orange/Yellow Orange/Pink Brown/Tan Red/Black Passenger Side Front Door Sensor Door Sensor Passenger LED Light Passenger Actuator Wire Color Green/Gray Blue/White Pink/Tan Red/Black **WARNING** REMOVE FUSE FROM WIRING HARNESS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION! CONNECTING THE HARNESS TO THE POWER SOURCE WITH THE FUSE ATTACHED MAY SHORT OUT THE WIRING HARNESS.
1. Remove the sill plate covers on both driver and passenger rear doors 2. Lay out the wiring harness on the carpet in the back seat 3. Split the harness into the driver’s and passenger side as instructed above. 4. Position the control box under the rear seat or near the back of the cab, anywhere out of the way where the wiring harness will fit to both sides of the truck. a.
a. Pull the rubber door seal away from near the latch and run the sensor wires under the seal. b. Connect the blue/white wire to the door sensor c. Place a small piece of electrical tape on the sensor wire to secure the wire from the truck and protect it on the metal seam 9. While moving to the front passenger door, run the harness under the door sill. Just as for the back door, route the front passenger door sensor wire up near the latch and under the door seal. a.
13. Drill an 18 mm hole to mount the cutoff switch. We recommend above the emergency break release (see picture below). 14. Mount the ground from the cutoff switch to a metal surface behind dash panel 15. Route the cutoff switch wires by running the POS+ and NEG- wires rom the wiring harness plug them into the back of the cutoff switch THE BRASS COLORED PRONG IS FOR THE GROUND THE SILVER COLORED IS FOR THE POWER 16.
19. Attach the POS+ to the POS+ side of the battery 20. Position the actuating magnets on the catch side of each door a. Make sure the actuating magnets are in perfect line with the sensors b. **DO NOT allow the magnet and sensor to come into direct contact. This will destroy the sensor making it unusable** c. Once that proper placement is achieved we recommend using a permanent marker to outline the magnet on the door. 21.
MAINTENANCE OF THE STEP SLIDER Please note the slider is a mechanical mechanism that requires maintenance to operate properly. To keep the slider operating at an optimal level it needs to be maintained with lubrication. We recommend using a Teflon based lubrication on the 7 indicated points below to keep the slider operating smoothly. A good rule of thumb is every time you change your engine oil. Heavy trail use will increase the frequency in lubrication.
