Another RCI Slider Install - 2019 TRDOR DCSB MT

Do you have a picture of how you rigged up that harness wire (on the outside of the frame, driver side)? Like baling wire? Or a zip tie?

I suppose it can be zip tied to the slider too, but not sure the best approach.

I have the driver side one on, but that harness is still hanging loose.

 

Not a great picture, but if you look closely at the upper right hand corner of the picture (taken from underneath the truck, you will see a red wire. That wire runs over the frame and around the harness to hold it in place. It works.

 

Looking at the parts list and I was wondering which bolts go where on the frame...but figured out most on my own so figured I'd update for anyone in need.

If Anyone knows where I'm putting the longer, x4 2", 7/16 bolts, would be a help. My guess is x2 for the top 2 holes of the cross member backing plate.

This info is probably useless to most but in the beginning I wasn't sure. If it helps anyone at all, I'm glad.

2 EA. M10 x 1.25 x 30mm Bolts: Bottom Frame bolt. Replaces Stock Bolt on both sides. This bolt on my truck was the hardest to get out but my socket set is not top of the line. I used a wrench and a hammer. Welcome to Maine.

3 EA. M8 x 1.25 x 30mm Bolts: These are for use on the passenger side only (as far as I can tell) to help put the plastic cover back on. (Actually says this in the RCI instr. as well but I missed it).

3 EA. 5/16” Washers: For use with the above M8 bolts.

10 EA. 7/16” x 1.5” These are the bolts you use, in general on the outside of the frame. I have not used them yet but I believe we have 4 holes in 2017 and newer models instead of the 6...probably old news to most.

* We need X3 7/16 bolts for the cross-member backing plate that goes over the top of the cross member and slider. The Top 2 holes Only will need a backing plate.

*I am not sure if I am supposed to use the longer 2" 7/16 bolts for the top 2 holes or the regular 1.5" (I haven't got that far yet). You are reaching your hand inside the frame, behind the brake lines, for this part. Enjoy.

4 EA. 7/16” x 2” Bolts: I have no idea where I'm putting these yet unless we use x2 for the top 2 holes on cross-member backing plates on each side of the truck. Have I said this enough?

12 EA. “Half Moon” Backing Plates... updated ones are a full circle plate.
2 EA. Frame Cross-member Backing Plates (with welded nuts) I believe the regular 7/16 1.5 bolts are used for this.
16 EA. 3/8” Washers (For use with M10 and 7/16” bolts)
12 EA. 7/16” Lock-washers
12 EA. 7/16” Hex Nuts

 

There’s a mounting point behind this module on the driver side. The mounting bolt is too long for the module to go back in it’s original place. Has anyone else encountered this?

 

use a large washer where the square hole is and run the bolt from the inside?

 

wish RCI made a "handle plate nut" like some other companies. I would rather pay for that than shoving my arm inside the frame especially the driver side with the brake lines in the way.
