WJOHNM,
Like I said in a previous post, they invented some s hook bolts and these nut plates that you slide into the bottom of the truck.
Not impossible, but it takes a bit of head scratching to get them installed. And they sure look good when installed.
Stop by Orlando, I can help you get them...
I spent WAY too much time online looking for the exact truck I wanted. The 24's were running out, and I decided I did not want a 25. Found my truck about 45 miles away, and got what I wanted, except I could have done without the moonroof. I have used the roof a few times, I figure I got it ...
WJOHNM, the video I saw was installing them on a Bronco, which has threaded holes from the factory just for installing running boards.
The Maverick does not have any threaded holes, so they invented some 's' bolts and 'nut plates' to install them on the Mav.
I wondered how they were going to...
These are the Ionic 4" bars, from Realtruck.
They appear to be the same as the "TAC" bars on Amazon.
Amber at Realtruck gave me a discount, so it was a better deal from Realtruck.
Yes, I ground down the sides of the nut plates, just about 1/16 of an inch, and was able to get them installed.

Glad you found your answers. No need to open the under hood fuse box. I don't know why they built that fuse box that way, just to be different I suppose.:question:
Just installed these bars from Realtruck. Amber gave me a nice discount, and got them yesterday.
I had the same issue as others with the 'nut plates' for the right side bars for the Hybrid, but was able to make them work.
I love the look, and they are very steady/strong feeling.
The directions...
Looks like it may be a little too big?
I had a cover over my rear widow on my2003 Sport trac, it was just big enough that I could leave the rear window cracked on those hot days to vent the heat. I used to leave that window and the side windows cracked, really helped on the Florida summer days.
A lot of these responses say they will not buy another Mav because the price has gone up?????
Show me something, (car,truck, whatever),
that has not had a price increase, and not just tariff related. Thats the way it works.
24 xlt hybrid, I would buy another , just hoping I don't have to. Loving...
Yup, did the same with mine.
Because the replacement lugs tend to show the aluminum color around the smaller lugs, I painted around the lugs with a touch-up pen. All black .(y)
Yea, I had to remove the fender liner clips and push the tabs from behind the fender. Still broke one of the clips on the light, but I won't be re-using the original.
If I want to, a little 3m tape would hold it in place.
I really like the smoked, and the Lasfit amber bulbs are plenty bright...
