Anybody got pics of them installed? I would like to see the underside connect before I start installing mine this weekend.

Thanks in advance!

Here are the stock ones on my 05 Renegade. I don't know if they are the same as the ones you have though.

thanks, any drilling involved? my directions make it look like there is some drilling required but I haven't given them a hard look yet.

I can't answer that since they were on it when I bought it. Good luck.

no, no drilling required but you might have to install some nutserts if you dont already have them in but they arent too bad to install

well, I just went over mine pretty thoroughly and there is definitely drilling required and no nutzerts. (nutzert wouldn't be able to hold up to the stress of the weight of the vehicle anyway). There are 2 holes for each bracket that go to the frame that are the shape for nutzerts but I have small M bolts for those holes to bolt the bracket to the frame. I then have to drill 2 holes up into the body at the other end of the bracket and attach using a bigger M bolt. I need to do this for all 4 brackets so I am looking at 8 holes to be drilled. once the brackets are in place I then bolt the rails to the brackets. Perhaps this is just for the 05+ KJ's and it's different on the older models or the Renegades.
