ORGS Super Nerf
Installation
Tools needed: 90
degree drill motor. ½ drill bits,
5/16 drill bits, 3/8 drill bits, angle grinder with cut off
wheel, pliers, paint pen, spring loaded awl thing and an air ratchet
or
First read the ORGS instructions about
5 times with the parts laid out on the ground. Then set their
instructions aside and use as a reference and use mine. Here is the
bullet list of my process:
Insert frame mounts into super nerf.
Hold up into place on WJ.
Using a paint pen (you MUST GET A PAINT PEN in my opinion. It makes
it nice and easy) mark the pinch weld where the frame mounts are in a
2 notch
Lower the rails and cut out the pinch weld. I used a cut off wheel
on an air grinder to notch the pinch weld and cut it away, I suggest
you do the same with air or electric. Be careful on how far up you go.
I cut mine at the radius (or fillet) where the pinch weld curves to
meet the rocker.
Once the pinch welds are cut out of the way use some rust proofing
paint or similar on the exposed metal. I roughed mine up with
scotchbrite and steel wool.
Hold ORGS in place. Be sure to
locate the forward mount carefully, because at first I lined mine up
to. Hold up to WJ with either a jack or two hi lifts or two friends AS
HIGH AS YOU CAN GET THEM. Mark the two bottom holes of the frame
mounts with paint pen. Mark the whole hole!
Lower nerfs
Now, I used one of those spring loaded awls to mark the center of my
paint pen marks. Basically it gives the drill bit a little depression
to start in so your hole is where you intend it to be. Drill the
forwardmost hole of the forward frame mount first. After drilling the
first hole check to make sure your second paint pen mark is still
where you want it, and mark with the awl thing accordingly.
After drilling all 4 of the lower holes of the frame mount legs line
up the legs and use an air ratchet to fasten them to the frame with
the self tappers.
At this point you should only have just the legs mounted to the
frame with the 2 bottom holes of each, 4 bolts total on this one side.
Next use your air drill and drill the rest of the holes. I chose
this method in order to use the upper frame mount bolt hole openings
as my guide to drill the holes in the proper place. You will
understand this too because of the angle you have to drill the holes.
This is the only way to make sure you are precise.
Using the air ratchet fasten the topmost holes of the frame mounts
using the self tappers.
Now slide the nerf onto the frame mounts. You may need to do some
prybar work to line them up.
Slide the nerf as close to the pinch weld as you can.
Mark the holes for the pinch weld holes with that paint pen. The
holes are in the nerf itself. I notched my holes with the cut off
wheel after drilling and rustproofed.
Push the nerf all the way to the pinch weld and bolt in through the
pinch weld holes you just made
Now drill the holes cross way into the frame mounts. It may help to
pre drill the holes in the nerfs while they are more easily accessible
off the vehicle at some point. They come pre drilled with small holes.
This pre drilling will help you use those holes as guides again for
when you need to drill through the frame mounts. Drill from both sides
then drill all the way through to guarantee fitment of the through
bolt.
Done with side 1.
After I was done I tack welded the frame mounts to the nerfs for
longevity and durability.
This is intended
to supplement the ORGS instructions. It is definitely a lot easier
using my method!!
