sorry. yes you need a bare sill before you put the chequer down. rip the plastic off then for the metal holders you can either go real slow with a griding disc on a grinder or do it properly and get a spot weld drill bit. then give it a lick of paint, sikaflex it in place and rivets as well. my advice is don't do it. i did it to mine and i wish i hadn't... |

how do yous go about sand getting behind the checker plate or water leaking into car where you drill holes for pop riviots |

Water won't leak in, it's just the outside skin your drilling into. If you seal it properly sand and the like shouldn't get in, you will just have to be a bit more cautious when cleaning and pay a bit more attention in that area |

Why checkerplate? It doesn't slide on anything - it's designed to provide grip for your feet, not slide like you want your car to do on a rock. In fact, you don't want alloy at all - it galls and grabs on rock in common grades. go with smooth material, probably 1.6mm of steel IMHO. It can still be attached as per the other posts. Steve. |

my advice is don't do it. i did it to mine and i wish i hadn't... I had to laugh at this 
I prefer the idea of just grinding the top layer (folded sheet steel) away rather than drilling holes right through but each to their own

personally i think the plastic is great visually (style wise) but not aesthetically - when mine get too rusty ill be getting 1.5mm steel folded to the correct shape, painted and bolted on - it might not be super strong but will look factory still, and be stronger than the plastic. |

I used grinder to remove the metal bits, but not grinding disc but medium or fine flapp disc (can't remembre now which one was it ) it it was fine, I had a lot of rust, and cleaned it with flapp disc, takes longer. than I fabricated side steps and rock sliders like those ones http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/index.ph ... iders.html However I didnt mount them to the chasis and body, but only to the body. I didn't like the idea of having body and chasis being bolt solid together with without bush. |
