Setup and Installation

The Go Rhino Dominator Xtreme D6 SideSteps feature a rocker panel mount design, ensuring a secure fit to your vehicle's frame. Installation typically does not require drilling for most applications.

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a flat, stable surface. Engage the parking brake. Gather all necessary tools (e.g., wrenches, sockets, torque wrench).
2. Identify Mounting Points: Locate the factory mounting points along the rocker panel or frame of your Ford Bronco 2-Door. These are typically pre-drilled holes.
3. Attach Brackets: Secure the appropriate mounting brackets to the vehicle's frame using the provided hardware. Hand-tighten all bolts initially. Ensure brackets are correctly oriented for left and right sides.
4. Position SideSteps: Carefully lift each sidestep and align it with the installed mounting brackets. Attach the sidestep to the brackets using the remaining hardware.
5. Adjust and Tighten: Adjust the sidesteps for optimal positioning and levelness. Once satisfied with the alignment, progressively tighten all hardware to the manufacturer's specified torque settings. Refer to the included hardware sheet for specific torque values.
6. Final Check: Double-check all fasteners to ensure they are securely tightened. Test the stability of the sidesteps before driving.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Go Rhino Dominator Xtreme D6 SideSteps, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the sidesteps regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the textured black powder coat finish.
• Inspect Fasteners: Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness. Vibrations from driving can sometimes loosen bolts over time. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Check for Damage: Inspect the sidesteps for any signs of damage, such as dents, cracks, or corrosion. Address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Go Rhino Dominator Xtreme D6 SideSteps, consider the following:

• Loose Steps: If the sidesteps feel loose or unstable, re-check all mounting bolts and ensure they are tightened to the specified torque.
• Unusual Noises: Rattling or squeaking noises may indicate loose hardware or improper installation. Inspect all connection points.
• Corrosion: While the powder coat finish offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh elements or road salts can lead to corrosion. Regular cleaning and inspection are crucial. Touch-up paint designed for powder-coated surfaces can be used for minor chips.
