STEP 1
Position the front Mounting Plate of the Upright leg as close to the cab as possible. Locate the pre-drilled
hole in the footplate that is furthest from the leg and drill a 10mm hole through the truck bed rail. (Fig 1) A
second hole for a bolt must be drilled through both the footplate and the truck bed rail as close as possible
to the front leg without sacrificing access to the bolt underneath the truck bed rail. This bolt must be
accessible in order to put on the washer and nut. Attach the footplate to the truck using 10mm Hex Bolts,
10mm washers and 10mm nuts.
Repeat STEP 1 as you position the remaining Upright leg for this section.
DO NOT over tighten any bolts.
STEP 2
Insert the Crossbrace into the Crossbrace Extension (Fig 2) and set the entire assembly on top of the
Upright legs. Center the Crossbrace left to right and secure it with the allen head set screws (Fig 3)
(Fig 4). With the Rack straight and level fully tighten all hardware.
