Default MOPAR Side Bar Install - Anyone Have A Link?

I picked up a set of MOPAR side bars at a decent price. Looks like there's a "clip" on the bars that hang on the frame and I'll need some carriage bolts or the MOPAR hardware kit.

I have a 2014 crew cab.

Does anyone have a link on how to mount/ install?

Thanks. Does anyone know what hardware he's using? I don't think the MOPAR hardware kits includes the flat piece of steel to hold the bolts in place.

What is the "plastic" thing he refers to on the bolts?

OK....looked at the video again. Looks like he used an aftermarket set of steps. MOPAR hardware uses cinch bolts. Install is a bit different but uses same mounting holes. Looks like there's no need to unbolt main body bolt when installing the MOPAR steps (unless the guy selling me his steps didn't include all the parts).

You should be able to get the PDF instructions off the Mopar website. Parts list and all.

I have the mopar steps on my 2011. There is no need to unbolt the main body bolt. They just attach to the holes on the inside of the body, they probably have clear tape over them right now. You should be able to buy the hardware needed from the dealer.
