STEP 4d.
Position Frame Brace

• Extend the frame brace to the side of your vehicle's frame to the point where the outer end of the bracket is level. Do not attach the frame brace at this time, simply butt up against it.
• Tighten the bolt that attaches the frame brace to the bracket to a snug position only (do not fully tighten)

STEP 4e.
REPEAT this assembly and attachment proccess for the remaining bracket or brackets on the first side of your vehicle.

STEP 5.
Attach the Tec-Bar to the Brackets.
These Tec-Bars are reinforced with steel as shown in the diagram. This steel appears as a distinct raised ridge on the underside of the bar. You will also note that the outer end of the bracket has 2 pre-drilled holes.

• Position the Tec-Bar onto the outer ends of the brackets. Make certain that the bar is centered over the 2 holes in the brackets.
• Drive two #10, 1" self-tapping tek-head screws, through the holes in the bracket and into the steel reinforcement in the bar. (Pre-drilling in not necessary - do not overtighten)

AND ATTACHMENT

STEP 6.
Position the Tec-Bar and Complete the Attachment

STEP 6a.
Drive the two remaining 1" self-tapping screws through the hanger strap into the rocker panel and tighten.

STEP 6b.

• Determine the desired position of the Tec-Bar on your vehicle.

NOTE: Loosening the bolt that attaches the bracket to the hanger strap enables you to move the bracket up or down. This movement alters the height of the Tec-Bar and its distance from the rocker panel.

STEP 6c.

• Level the Tec-Bar by adjusting the length of the frame brace. When the desired position is achieved, fully tighten the bolt that attaches the frame brace to the bracket and tighten the bolt that attaches the bracket to the hanger strap.
• Using the larger #12, 1" self-tapping screws, attach the bracket extension to the frame. Pre-drilling, using a 5/23" drill bit, may be required to complete this step. Note that the frame brace has four optional holes for attachment. Only two are required.

STEP 7.
Check all bolts and screws to make certain they are fully tightened.

STEP 8.
REPEAT this entire process for the other side of your vehicle.

STEP9.
Attach the full length Non-Skid Step Pads.
Remove the backing from the 3M red adhesive strips and position the step pads onto each Tec-Bar. Press firmly throughout the entire lenght of the step pads.

STEP 10.
Affix the Aero-Tec Logos to each Tec-Bar in a location of your choice.
