Step 1
Place the tool box on the bed rails
and determine the best location.
WARNING
Before drilling into your truck bed, check under
your vehicle to ensure the drill location does not
puncture, cut or obstruct any brake or fuel fluid
lines, electrical wires, fuel tanks, etc. Precaution
must be taken that all fasteners near the fuel
tank do not create the possibility of fuel tank
puncture or other damage during a collision.
Step 4
Drill a minimum of two holes per leg.
A minimum of one bolt should be
used on each side of the legs.
Secure the legs to the tool box using one
bolt, two washers and one lock nut in each
drill location.
Note: For added security, the legs
may be bolted to the truck bed.
Step 2
Drill a minimum of two holes through
the tool box and bed rail.
Place a flat washer and bolt through each drill
hole. Secure using a washer and lock nut under
the bed rail. Fully tighten the hardware.
Step 3
Place the supplied legs on the corners of
the tool box that are fully inside the truck bed.
Use a square to ensure the legs are vertical
and at the appropriate height so they rest on
the truck bed.
WARNING
Before drilling into your truck bed, check under
your vehicle to ensure the drill location does not
puncture, cut or obstruct any brake or fuel fluid
lines, electrical wires, fuel tanks, etc. Precaution
must be taken that all fasteners near the fuel
tank do not create the possibility of fuel tank
puncture or other damage during a collision.
WARNING
Locate the gas spring prior to drilling
into the tool box. Do not drill in the gas
spring mount location.

If desired, the lock can be moved to the
opposite end of the tool box. If you are not
moving the lock continue to step 11.
Drill out and remove the rivets securing the
lock bar guard in place and remove the guard.
Step 6
Remove the two screws securing the rotary
latch in place. Slide the rotary latch and lock
bar out of the lock bar support.
Remove the push nut and screw securing the
lock bar to the rotary latch. If the push nut is
not reusable a lock nut can be used instead.
Step 7
Remove the hole plug in the side of the
tool box. Using pliers or a similar tool,
loosen the nut securing the lock in place.
Remove the lock.
Step 8
Adjust the position on the lock cam so it will
not make contact with the lock bar in the
locked position, and it will make contact
with the lock bar in the unlocked position.
Reinstall the lock on the opposite end
of the tool box. Reinstall the lock plug.

CAUTION
Ensure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps and
locks are firmly secured before every trip.
Periodically re-tighten and inspect all components
for signs of wear, corrosion and fatigue.
With the truck side tool box installed, periodic
inspections should be performed to ensure
all mounting hardware remains tight.
To protect your investment, see the
'Maintenance' section on page 1.
Congratulations on the installation
of your new UWS truck side tool box.
