FIRST
If you purchased the optional Passenger Side LED Light Kit, do NOT plug the connector into the cover module yet. Instead
please refer to the one-pager installation sheet provided with that harness, then proceed with Step 5 below. NOTE: You must
attach the rearmost bolt, along with the lock nut and canister water shield FIRST. Then attach the other two bolts. Align the 3 holes in
the rail to the corresponding cover holes. Attach the passenger rail (A) to the cover with three canister mounting bolts (H), using a T25
torx bit (K) and a drill or an impact driver with bit extension. Attach the lock nut (I) and passenger side canister water shield (P) to the
bolt that is closest to the tailgate side of the cover with a 3/8” (10mm) socket with a 1/4” (6mm) driver. Do this also on the driver side
cover rail (B) with the driver side canister water shield (O).

Route the main wiring harness (E) along the frame rails located on the underside. Maintain a wiring route that keeps the
wire as high as possible to prevent damage when driving. Keep the wires away from moving parts and exhaust.
The driver side LED wiring harness with light comes attached to the rail (B), with extra harness tied at the front of the rail,
as shown. Remove the tie and continue to route the LED wiring harness around the back of the cover. Route the harness
towards the cover module, securing the harness to the two plastic clips. Plug the LED wiring harness connector into the cover
modules’ connector.
Cover
Module NOTE: Tidy up excess wire with
two of the provided zip ties (F).
Before routing the main wiring harness (E) from the bed to the battery, first locate your battery in the engine compartment.
Determine which side of the vehicle the battery is on - passenger or driver side - and then route the main wiring harness
on the same side as your battery. Feed the battery terminal connection end of the main wiring harness (E) into the available
pickup bed hole. Bring the wire down between the bed and the cab.
NOTE: Makesure
to leave enough
wire harness in the
bedtoattachtothe
cover module later
in Step 16.
NOTE: If there is not a suitable hole in the bed, one
may be drilled, but take great caution to be aware
of lines and anything else behind where the hole
is drilled. Keep the wires away from moving parts
and exhaust.

Remove all of the protective film from the cover (C). Then with two people, lift the assembly onto the truck bed.

When placing on the truck bed with two people, place the canister portion of the cover (C) near the bulkhead. The front
seal of the cover should lay forward towards the cab and lay flat.
Finish routing the main wiring harness up to the vehicle’s battery, then secure the harness near the battery with a zip tie (F).
With the ratchet and necessary socket, connect the negative terminal on the harness to the ground on or near the battery.
Next, connect the ring terminal on the positive jumper wire to the positive terminal on the battery. Then connect the jumper wire to the
main power harness with the inline connector. Lastly, working from the battery back to the cover, neatly organize and secure the main
wiring harness with the provided zip ties. Keep wires away from moving parts and areas that may become hot, such as the
exhaust.
