Prepare Trunk
Step 1
•Use Caution when drilling DO NOT drill through more than one surface.
• Locate the cable harness clip in the middle of the trunk deck, just behind
the rubber trunk lid gasket. Remove the plastic clip and ream out the existing
hole using a 25/64 diameter drill bit.
Step 2
•Place the Insert Bolt through the Insert Tool and thread bolt onto Insert.
Make sure that the flange of the Insert Tool is pointing towards the Insert.
Step 3
•With the Insert placed inside of the 25/64 diameter hole, begin tightening
with two opened-ended wrenches. One wrench will be placed around the
Insert Tool and the other wrench will be placed on the Insert Bolt. The
Insert Bolt will need to be tightened until the Insert has fully expanded.
Completed Assembly
•Once expanded unscrew Insert Bolt from Insert.

Prior to Installation
•Remove the drawer from the cabinet by removing the Slide Securing Screws located on each side of the
drawer. Next, while pressing in on the Retaining Tabs located on the sides of the drawer, lift up on the
front of the drawer, removing it from the tabs and pull it away from the cabinet. (See detail below)
• It may be necessary to remove contents that are stored in or around the mounting footprint of the TufBox
as these components may not be accessible after installation.

Place Drawer into the Cabinet
Place the drawer back into the cabinet by extending the drawer slides and snapping the rails on the Retaining
Tabs. You may need an assistant to help align the tabs over the drawer slides. Install the Slide Securing Screws
on each side of the Drawer. (See Detail A on Page 3)
Make Sure the Drawer Functions Properly
Open & close the cabinet drawer to make the sure the drawer is firmly attached to the slides. If the drawer
is not firmly attached, remove the drawer, bend the silver tabs outward and replace the drawer.
Secure the TufBox to Floor
•Locate the holes on the bottom of the uprights and use the holes closest to the front of the trunk
compartment, nearest to the brake lights to mount the self-tapping screws to the trunk floor. Because
of the gas tank location, wiring, hoses, etc, it is recommended that there be no additional drilling in the mounting
zones. (See diagram below.)

Maintenance
•These drawers are intended to hold a maximum weight of 200 lbs. Do not exceed the drawer weight limit.
Exceeding the weight limit can make the drawer difficult to operate and can shorten the life of the bearings
in the drawer slides.
• The TufBox is designed to provide years of reliable service with minimal maintenance. Occasionally, coat
the key with a light petroleum-based lubricant such as WD-40 and insert the key into the lock & turn a
few times to lubricate the lock cylinder. NEVER use a graphite based oil. The drawer slides should also be
lubricated periodically to assure longer life.
• Standard T-Handle: An adjustable cam can be adjusted to keep the drawer tight and eliminate rattle. (See
diagrams below)
• Premium T-Handle: An adjustable roller can be adjusted to keep the drawer tight and eliminate rattle.
(See diagrams at left). The Premium T-Handle has the ability for additional security to have a padlock
added to the handle (Supplied by others).
• Combination Lock: Please refer to enclosed instruction booklet.
