Why bother?

1. Less damage to your door bottoms and sills
2. Those stock plastic trim pieces are completely useless for pretty much anything
3. Children can use the sliders to climb into the vehicle
4. You can use them to get higher for rack loading or cleaning...

This job requires is very straightforward and requires few if any words. Let the pictures speak a thousand words...

Fitting time about 2 hours. Manufacturer: custom. Purchased used. Overall cost less than $200.

The driving experience is completely unchanged, the sense of security for your door bottoms and sills is well worth the time and cost!

Drilling the holes larger; new bolts are larger than 'original'

Holes 'rust proofed'

'Rust proofing' - not pretty, but should be effective. Will be checked annually

In place

Full - in place

Fitted! (Need to add the very front bolt after getting access with an angle adaptor for the drill. Front door gets in the way and so drilling limited.

Rear still - two more bolts needed

Example 'large washer' recycled from the original rear bumper

Serious bolts; will replace 'spacer' washers with large thick washers to avoid damaging the sills when very tight
