Step 1 - Install wiring harness

*Pre-Installaon Preparaon*

The factory Rubicon rails in the rear will not work with our R-Step. They will need to be removed before the R-Step can be installed.

Also, you will need to lower the spare re so it is clear of the frame for easy installaon of the R-Step.

Having all the required tools before you begin will speed up the install.

Check to see if the fuse is installed in the holder.

If it is, remove it and keep it to be re-installed

later.

Attach red to the positive terminal using a 10

mm socket.

Attach the black to the negative terminal using a

10 mm socket.

Secure these wires in the engine bay using small

zip ties.

Starting near the engine bay, route the power wires up through the engine bay.

Leave the rest of the harness below the engine bay.

To pull the wires up through the engine bay, take a separate wire and fish it down the

gap to the front of the fuse box. Once through the bottom, loop the wire through the

ends of the power and ground wires and pull back up through the opening.

Step 3 - Prep the harness

Step - 4

Route the wire along the frame following the existing factory

harness.

The harness will be routed all the way to to the install area of the

R-Step.

Once the wiring is pulled along the frame, go back and secure the

harness to the frame / harness with zip ties and ensure they do not

interfere with other operations on the vehicle and will not get

pinched / cut by moving suspension parts.

Before routing the rest of the harness, We recommend securing the harness wires to themselves as shown and prepping them to easily run

along the frame using a extra wire looped and secured to the 18 pin connector so you can pull / fish it through and over the frame easier

Step 5

With the harness routed, prepare the install area.

Remove the factory harness off of the body sea

(shown right) and push it to the other side of the

seam. (Below)

**DO NOT CUT THE WIRE**

Secure the wire to the other side with zip ties.

The main plug will mount to our R-Step in the final

steps.

Step 6

Take a hammer or mallet and aen the

plug mount into the body. Failure to do

so will result in not enough clearance for

the R-step to install.

Step 7

Using the main rear mounng bracket, run 2 of the large bolts with a washer on the back through the plate. Install in the locaon shown

below.

Install a nut onto the back of the bolts and hang ghten the nuts to hold the mount in place.

Step 8

Step 9

Run the provided shoulder boult through the lower hole in the bracket, through the tube, and

apply a provided ange nut to the other side. Tighten all 3 bolts at this me down.

**On all non-rubicon models, you must install the provided tub into the space between the

frame (shown). Failure to do so will cause damage.

Hang the J shaped bracket from the frame in the shown locaon.

Run a bolt /washer through the main bracket over the frame, and run the U-shaped bracket UNDER the wiring on the opposite side and

against the frame. Apply a ange nut to the bolt to hang the bracket in place. Install the 2nd lower bolt/washer and ange nut. Hand

ghten at this moment, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. **IT IS CRITICAL THE BRACKET IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH THE WIRE**

Step 10 - Route bed wiring

Route the buon wires into the bed of the truck at this point. You will need to drop a string / wire similar to the engine bay through the

opening down above the R-Step locaon to pull the wiring up easily.

10A

Step 11 - Prep Mounting Point

On the Rubicon models, remove the factory

bolt from the rail system.

IF THERE IS NOT A PRE-INSTALLED

NUT AND BOLT IN THE HOLE ON

TRUCKS WITHOUT THE BED RAILS,

USE THE PROVIDED NUTSERT AND

INSTALL INTO THE HOLE TO MOUNT

THE BRACKET BY FOLLWING THE

INSTRUCTIONS BELOW**

10A 10B

Step 12— ONLY FOR JEEPS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE BED RAIL SYSTEM - Installing Nutsert

1. Assemble the nutsert install hardware as shown on the right:

LONG GOLD BOLT /SPACER / NUT / NUTSERT

2. Push the nutsert in the open hole where the factory bolt would be in

step 11.

3. Use a 13mm open end wrench to hold the silver nut in place holding

the nutsert ght in the hole.

4. Use a 10mm socket / wrench on the head of the gold bolt, and twist

the gold bolt clockwise. This will cause the nutsert to collapse like a

rivut and hold the nutsert in place. Connue twisng the gold bolt

unl the nutsert is fully collapsed and ght in the hole.

5. Remove the gold bolt , spacer, and silver nut leaving only the nutsert. 12A

Step 13

Install the rocker switch into the supplied bracket. Install the 2 red wires on the top and boom pins, with the black wire on the center

pin.

Remove the black screw (if not removed yet) and install the bracket with a provided screw / spacer into the locaon shown.

Step 14

Cover the fender are and paint with tape / covering

to prevent damage to the fenders while installing the

R-Step.

Step 15

Li the R-Step into posion and mount into place.

On each side of the R-Step are studs. These studs go

through the exisng holes on each mounng bracket.

Mount to the most rear bracket rst, and then slide the

other mounts that are hanging into place through the other

Step 16

Aer sliding the brackets into place, install

the anged nuts onto the 3 studs on each

side that are going through the mounng

brackets.

Tighten the nuts on the closest to the rear

bumper mount rst (rst image).

Then ghten the nuts on the front bracket.

Step 17

Tighten the bolts on the U-Channel bracket

at this point. This will require a wrench on

the one side and a torque gun on the other

side.

Step 18

Step 19

Ensure the harness is routed through the small opening above the

rear bracket and is not pinched by mounts or hardware.

The power wires / rocker switch wires will run through the open-

ing.

Clean the surface with an alcohol wipe prior to

aaching wires.

Route the rear sensor wire with a small loop as

shown, then sck one of the rubber D channel

in the shown locaon, and the 2nd D channel

in the lower mounng posion facing the back

of the R-Step.

Step 20

Step 21

Apply the white spacers to the last two studs on each side of the R-Step.

This will be used to mount the blank guard plates.

Mount the circuit board to the rear blank

guard plate.

Slide the guard plate with the circuit board

aached up into place and onto the studs.

Apply a nut to each stud to hold the plate in

place.

Apply guard plate to the opposite side of the

R-Step by sliding it into place on the white

spacers and ghten down.

Connect the white sensor from the harness to

the sensor on the R-Step (blue and white

wires).

Run the harness and hook into the circuit

board.

Route the wires down along the lip of the

R-Step housing and zip e everything to the lip

and around the back of the housing.

Ensure all wires are tucked and protected out

of the way

Step 22

Step 23

Route the remaining harness (motor plug) to the rear of the R-

Step body and zip e to he provided slots.

**CRITICAL**

When securing the rubber boot to the U-

channel, the zip es have to go around

the rubber in the exact locaon shown.

Secure the motor plug wire loom to the opposite side of the U-

Channel bracket.

Double check all wiring to ensure it

has been connected, no wires are

being pinched, all wires are secure,

and jeep factory wiring is secured.

Ensure the plates are secured with

the provided nuts.

Hook the baery up with the fuse

and test the system using the

buon in the bed.

One direcon on the buon with

deploy the step, and one will re-

tract it.

Step 24—Install Mini Slider on Driver Side

Step 23

Remove two bolts holding the muer hanger. Pull down on the

cool muer enough to slip the rear driver's rail into place. Secure

with two bolts to the frame via the pre-drilled threaded

holes. Run the large bolt through the boom hole through the

frame and secure it with a ange nut on the rear side.
