Morning all! I do apologize for the lack of photos to go with the steps. This is something you can do alone in under an hour with a minimal amount of tools.
Stuff You Need
Step 1: Obtain a Ford Bronco, 6th Generation and a set of @GoatFab Rock Sliders.
Step 2: Clean the dirt and oil off the Bronco at the location of mounting. There are two spots, one forward and one aft, and they are pre-threaded. Bonus points for using a bottle brush or a bore brush for your M17 to ensure the threads are dirt free.
Step 3: Line up the sliders on each side. The joggle goes aft. Have your jack extended to near the correct height, lift the slider and roll the jack underneath the side you'll bolt second. I recommend attaching the aft top bolt first, as it's the most difficult to locate.
Step 4: Place the remaining two bolts by hand. Tighten all with your ratchet.
Step 5: Torque to 45ftlbs
Step 6: Clean up your mess!
Here are some before and after photos for ya!
Stuff You Need
Quantity | ||
1 | 15mm socket, 1/2 drive | I used a shallow depth. A deep socket won't seat on the top aft bolt. |
1 | 1/2 drive ratchet | |
1 | 6in extension for a 1/2 ratchet | |
1 | Torque wrench that can do 45lbs | |
1 | floor jack | It doesn't have to be a floor jacket, but something to support the side opposite your work. I have a little 2.5ton jack, and it was a wee bit short but worked |
1 | Bottle of Vodka | I use Seagrams, but Monarch or Military Special would work. It's for cleaning, not drinking. |
4 | Bag of Rags |
