Please Note:
It will be very helpful to have an idea of where you want the rod holders to be positioned on the rear tube
assembly before assembling to your vehicle. Depending on the width of your vehicle, some or all of the
rod holders can be positioned on the small tube, narrower vehicles may require that some of the rod holders
be positioned on the small and large tubes.
We recommend that you rst layout the tube assembly on the oor in the back of your vehicle to get an idea
of which tube(s) the rod holders will be positioned:
• Do you want the rod holders above or below the tubes?
• Rod holders can be positioned above and below the tubes if required
If all the rod holders can be positioned on the small center tube, proceed to the section A.
If some of the rod holders need to be positioned on the larger tubes, proceed to section B.
Correct position of rod holder for mounting above the tube
Correct position of rod holder for mounting below the tube
