Taking into account the length and width of
your tent, choose where you'd like to
position it on the rack. This will determine
where you will need to fit the Mount

Loosely fit the Mount Brackets (Item 1 & 2)
to the rack using fasteners 12, 13 and 14.
Note that position of the Mount Bracket With
Latch orientation. Mount as shown in Step 2.1.
Make sure that the closed side of the
Mount Brackets are facing toward the
front of the rack and that they are
parallel to the side of the rack.

Measure the distance between the center
points of the Rack Mount Brackets. You will
need this measurement for fitting the Latch

The Tent Channel Nut Plates included were
designed for the following tents but will
also work with other popular tents.
Check your mounting channel measurements
for the appropriate size.

Hard shell tents may need additional
support. If you are using these brackets
with hard shell tents, such as James
Baroud or Autohome, and you are unable
to position the tent to rest directly on
the rack side profiles (A), use

Channels - by Front Runner (B) sold
seperatly.
Depending on the tent manufacturer,
your hard shell tent warranty may be
voided if your tent becomes damaged
and you did not provide proper lateral
support for the hard shell tent.
Flip your tent over to get to the mounting
channels.
Loosely fit the Latch Bracket Assembly
(Item 4)
by sliding the chosen Channel Nut
Plate
(Item 3) into the mounting channel and
