  • Hello! I have analyzed the provided installation instructions for the Warrior Side Panel (Diamond Plate/Steel). This document details the steps for installing these side panels, which are designed to fit over existing metal and be mounted using pop rivets or self-tapping bolts. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about the installation process or the product itself.
  • What is the purpose of the side panels?
    Where do the side panels fit?

SIDE PANELS
DIAMOND PLATE / STEEL
All “SIDE PANELS” are designed to be placed over the existing metal surface.
They fit between the fender wells with factory fenders and fender flares where
applicable.
1) Be sure that the surface is flat before installing your side panels. Put some
paint on any bare metal.
2) Lift one side panel up to the rocker panel and use it to determine where you
want to place your mounting holes. Mark the mounting locations with a felt
pen or other marker and remove for ease of drilling. If you are covering
rust or damaged areas, try not to locate any mounting holes in these areas.
3) If using the “pop” rivets provided to attach your side panels, you will need to
secure a drill, a 3/16” drill bit, and a “pop” rivet tool. Drill your mounting
holes using the 3/16” drill bit.
4) Place your drilled side panel in location and mark through the holes onto the
rocker panel. Drill mounting holes where indicated using your 3/16” bit. Be
careful not to drill through anything that may be behind the rocker panel.
5) Install the side panels using the “pop” rivets supplied. If you prefer you can
use self tapping bolts to install the panels.
6) Repeat the process described above for the other side.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have finished your installation. Enjoy your new
