No problem. The Rocker Guards consist of a two part assembly. The main structural weldment first bolts directly to the vehicle. It uses the same mounting locations and fasteners as the factory unit. The outer skin is placed over the structural section and bolted up inplace. This allows easy installation of the structure without access holes in the skin to hang up on rocks, etc.
The outer skin is covered in 3/16" UHMW, the same type of material used in high abrasion applications such as bump stops in lumber mills (the same type of material used for cutting boards). The UHMW provides a very low coefficient of friction that allows the vehicles full weight to easily slide over jagged rocks, etc. The UHMW is counter sunk for recessing the fasteners. By using faceted geometry it gains substantial strength and allows it to float up and over obstacles.
