NOTE: If your truck has a bed liner, use these instructions as a guide only.

Due to the many differences in bed liner thickness and fit, longer fasteners are highly recommended.

You will need to ensure that your new truck box is mounted securely to the truck, not the bed liner.

⚠CAUTION

This tool box must be securely mounted to prevent movement or shifting,

⚠WARNING

Any leaking caused by unsealed holes in the box bottom will void the warranty.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

Place the tool box in the location desired. Make sure the bottom is in full contact with the truck bed and that the lid will operate without interference.
Find the location of the “ridges” (high points) in the bottom of the truck bed. You will need to know where these are located when you drill the 5/16” holes through the tool box and truck bed. See the drawing above for an example.
Look under the truck bed to insure you will not be drilling into any electrical lines or fluid lines. Center punch the locations where the bolts will be located. Drill the 5/16” holes through the tool box and truck bed.
Insert the ¼” bolts through the holes so they extend through the truck bed. Place the flat washer and locking nut on the bolt that protrudes from the bottom of the truck bed. Use suitable wrenches to tighten the nuts on the bolts.
Before you tighten the screws completely, seal the holes by applying a caulk or silicone sealant. Some chest installers remove the screws and reinstall them through rubber washers. The purpose of this is to keep water from entering the box from the holes and newly installed screws.
