These are going to come in and set it two. And they're going to Mount directly to your rocker panel using brackets.Adding these steps your vehicle is going to allow you to not only get in, but get out of your vehicle a lot easier. We're going to have a nice tread pattern here on top. So during those snowy weather days, or maybe you get a little bit of mud on your feet, this is going to help get that dirt and anything on your feet off of your shoes when you're getting into the vehicle, helping keeping your vehicle a lot cleaner.

As I mentioned before, they're going to attach to the rocker panel using brackets. These brackets are going to be zinc-plated, so we're not going to have to worry about rust or corrosion. These are going to be hoop style steps. It's going to add a nice touch to your vehicle, giving it a nice rugged off-road look.They're going to be constructed of a durable rust-proof cast aluminum with an XP3 extreme black powder coat finish. It's really going to help resist chipping, peeling and fading.

Our steps are going to have a five inch drop, seven inch wide step, three and a half inches in depth. We're going to notice a tread pattern here. As I mentioned earlier, this is going to give you a nice grip during those wet days. Snowing, you got mud on your feet, anything like that It's going to keep you from slipping as you're getting in and out of the vehicle. Each one of our steps are also going to have a 500 pound weight capacity.As far as the installation on these, it's very simple.

You're going to have one hole. You're going to have to drill into the pinch weld on your rapper panel. Other than that, you're putting a self tightening screw at the top and you're mounting your bracket or for your step onto the brackets yourself. So again, this is going to make it a lot easier to get in and out of your vehicle. Now that we've gone over some of the features, let's go ahead and walk you through how to get them installed.To begin our installation.

What you would typically do is wherever your seat normally sits, you want to mark a line at the front of your seat. With the Colorado there is actually a cross member right here, or a support member here. So we're not able to use that as our center mark. So what we're going to have to do is we're going to actually straddle this with our brackets. So we're going to put our steps together. We're going to straddle that bracket. We're going to mark where those brackets will be in place.So we'll take our step ladder bracket like this. This plate goes on the backside. We're going to take our hardware. We'll feed it through each hole like this. And we're just going to hand tighten these in place. All we're trying to do is get in the area where our brackets are going to be mounted on the panel. So next thing we're going to do is with it held up in place, take a marker and mark the edge of the bracket on both sides. Once you get that, we'll take these brackets back off our step.Once you take your bracket off, you're going to hold it up against your lines. This very center hole right here in this bracket is the one we need to mark. We're going to do this on both. Then we're going to take an eighth inch drill bit. Where we marked, we're going to drill a pilot hole, and then we're going to open it up to a five, six.Now we're going to take our brackets, small hex bolt, put a flat washer on it from the outside, we're going to put a flat washer on the inside. The one with the nylon lock nut. We'll do that same thing to the other one. Once you get those in place, we're going to take half inch socket wrench, and we'll tighten it.Now we're going to have to move this wiring harness out of the way to get our self-tapper up here at the top. Take a trim panel tool, flathead screwdriver, we're just going to pop the clip off. Yeah. We're going to take a self-tapper that comes in our kit, five sixteenths socket with a driver. Kinda looks like this, angled because we're kind of out of distance, or we don't have a whole lot. Here we're going to have an issue with the bolts staying in the socket. So if you take the paper towel like this, that'll keep it inside.The we're going to take our step, put it back up into place. Once we get our brackets in we're going to take our long bolts. You're going to put a flat washer on. From the outside go in on each one of the bolts.Seven sixteenths socket wrench, or two sockets. And then we're going to tighten them into place. Once you get one side done, you're going to repeat the process on the other side of the vehicle. Once you've got both steps in place, you're ready to go. Again, I'm Shane with etrailer.com. That's going to do it for a look at and installation on the car. Custom fit sidesteps on your 2019 Chevrolet, Colorado..
