<div class="bbWrapper">Got them on, ended up just using the rivnut tool that came with the mounting kit I scooped from RAM. It was a PITA, mainly because I only have a 8&quot; ratchet, I think if I had more leverage It would of been easier. Also could only get 11 of the 12 smaller bolts that go through the pinch welds in. The last one was at a crazy angle I couldnt get the socket around. May mess with it tomorrow or might not, either way these things are super solid.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Use a 10mm nut driver for the smaller bolts and use anti-seize on all the bolts.</div>

I use both liberally on anything that has threads <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. in the winter they use magnesium chloride for de-icing, nasty stuff for sure.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Much like the rock rails on the Wrangler Rubicon, I feel like these are a fail. Yes, I am sure they are better than nothing and probably function in a one dimensional aspect, but a far cry from what they should be. On my Wrangler, I am running ACE sliders which have a similar design as the White Knuckle ones with a primary tube along the body and a secondary tube that sticks out maybe 8&quot; or so. When off-roading, I hear &quot;clang&quot; and &quot;ting&quot; quite often as the front tires kick up rocks or sticks into the secondary tube which deflects it from the body. Also, if you are in an off-camber climb and slid sideways into a tree, the single tube design is almost useless. With the secondary tube design, you can use it to pivot off a tree or rock without smacking your door or panels on it.</div>

I have done most of the trails in Moab (go there 2X a year) with the exception of BFE, the rubicon trail, the dusy ershim all of the san juan Colorado trails and never had an issue. you can pivot with stock rubicon rails. Everyone has their own comfort level and I would be comfortable with these on all but the hardcore trails which it is going to be too wide for anyway..</div>

I will be picking up a set if my truck ever gets built and arrives. I guess it could be considered one of those mods that you may never use but when you need it, it is worth every penny...kind of like a winch. I had to go get help three times where a winch would have gotten me out. So, I put a 10k winch on my Wrangler and in 4 years, have never had to use it, lol...figures.</div>

Seriously if you can rotate your tires without cross threading a lug nut you can install the 75&#039;a steps. hold in place install bolts. I used a floor jack and two jackstands to hold it in place until I got 2 bolts started, one on each end.</div>
