Installation Instructions

1. Install supplied clip nuts (B) onto each of the mounting brackets (E). See Photo 1.

2. Remove factory side bed accessory rail bolts with a T30 Torx.

3. Install the (4) mounting bracket (E) without the body clip to the factory bed rail hole with factory hardware. Tighten with a T30 Torx. NOTE: If the vehicle comes with the factory accessory rail, install the brackets behind the rail. See Photo 2.

4. Install the panel on the previously installed mounts using the supplied 6mm flat washers (C) and 6mm button head bolts (A). Tighten with a 4mm Allen wrench. See Photo 3.

5. Install the mounting bracket (E) to the lower mounting slots of the panel using the suppled 6mm button head bolt (A) and 6mm flat washer (C). Tighten with a 4mm Allen wrench. Use a paint pen to mark the location where the bracket touches the bed wall. Repeat for the other two lower mounting locations. See Photo 4.

6. Use a 5/16” drill on the marked location. Be careful not to crack the bed wall. Remove the previously installed panel.

7. Install the supplied 6mm rivet nuts (D) using either an installation tool (sold separately) or using the supplied 6mm x 30mm bolt, washer, and the 8mm nut screw them into a nut insert. See Photo 5. Next place the assembly into the drilled hole. Next using a 10mm wrench and a 13mm wrench tighten the bolt while holding the nut with the 13mm wrench. This will compress the nut insert and lock it into place in the drilled hole.

Check clearance between upper control arm and sidewall of tire for proper clearance. Check steering for interference and proper working order. Test brake system.
2. Re-torque all fasteners after 500 miles. Visually inspect components and re torque fasteners during routine vehicle service.
