Rock Slider Installation

After a couple outings with my Jeep, I quickly realized I needed rocker protection.  There were more than a few brands that I liked, but I went with the Rokmen Mercenary Rock Sliders.  And I am glad I did.  From the minute FedEx dropped these babies on my doorstep I have really liked them.  These sliders are beefy to say the least.  They provide protection from wheel well to wheel well and the extra clearance under the rocker panel is very noticeable.   

Installation is not that bad.  But you need to block off the better part of a day to do it.  And if you have a buddy, offer him a beer and get him over to help.  I did my install by myself and a second pair of hands would have been very useful.  The instructions that come with the sliders are very detailed, so I will not go into every little detail.  But here are some pictures of my install and you will see the basic process.
