Re: Putting on OEM rock rails??

I, too, had no assistance when I put them on my FJ. Put mine on a couple of days ago. They are heavy when you're lying on your back, and get heavier while holding it up trying to figure out what you're doing, but not too bad. Here are a few ideas for anyone else thinking about installing rails: 1. I couldn't get clearance above the second bolt to fit through the keyhole so I used one bolt, hung the rail on one end, swung the other end up, and then threaded the second bolt. 2. I tempoarily removed the brake line bolt/holder while I installed the first end. That gave me much more room to maneuver the rail onto the first bolt. 3. Get right under the FJ side and rail and you will have much more leverage. They seem to be decent rails, nice knowing they are there if needed.
