▼ ASSEMBLY OVERVIEW ▼

▼ HEY! TORQUE BOY: READ BEFORE YOU INSTALL DECKED ▼

1. Don’t go rogue on us, please read the instructions.

2. Don’t over-tighten bolts, get ’em’ hand-tight.

3. Don’t use power tools.

4. If you don’t follow directions and do use power tools:
   1). Set clutch at a very low setting. 2). If you blow it, see NOTE.*

5. Start all bolts with fingers to avoid cross-threading.

6. Don’t over-tighten J-hooks during installation. Just get ’em good and snug; enough to keep the system from moving in the bed.

7. Nice job if you’re still reading.

**NOTE* Two extra threaded inserts are included in BAG PREP-EXTRA. That’s all you get unless you call us and ask for more. The inserts will replace any stripped inserts in the tailgate ammo cans or front face of the center vert at the bottle opener, but NOT THE TOP OF THE CENTER VERT, so hand tightens until snug only! You can also screw the inserts back in if dislocated. There is a straight screwdriver slot on the underside of the threaded insert.
TAILGATE ammo cans have wide bottoms; CAB SIDE ammo cans have narrow bottoms.
NOTE:** You will need a buddy to help with exactly two steps.

Prevent embarrassing, expletive-filled language, watch our detailed installation video or give us a call. We’re happy to help! 208.806.0251 | DECKED.COM/INSTALLVIDEO

AMMO CAN DRAIN HOLES
(TO DRILL OR NOT TO DRILL.)

• Do you use a tonneau or shell over your DECKED system?
  There is no need to drill holes unless you leave your tonneau open in a deluge.

• Does your DECKED system live outside?
  The ammo cans will get water in them. You’ll need to drill holes in the ammo cans.
  There are two dimples at the bottom of each ammo can. Drill a 1/2” hole at each dimple. A smaller hole will get clogged.

ASSEMBLY: DRIVER’S SIDE DECK
(LET’S DO THIS!)

• There are three pre-installed gaskets – one on the center vert, one on each underside of the decks where they rest on the center vert. Do yours look weird? (They should be flat.) See them here: DECKED.COM/GASKETS
• Place C-channel on the inside ledges of a cabside ammo can and tailgate ammo can.
• The end of the C-channel with the endplate must rest on the cab side ammo can.
• Verify that the tailgate ammo can’s axle is closest to the tailgate; if not, grab the other tailgate ammo can.
• Install nylon washers onto all bolts in BAG C-CHANNEL, WASHERS.
• Loosely bolt C-channel to the two ammo cans. Make sure the bolt head is in the C-channel, not inside the ammo can; BAG C-CHANNEL. Don’t tighten yet. Houston, come in Houston, do you copy? Don’t tighten yet.
• Line up the driver’s side deck (sticker or mark on the end of deck panel indicates LEFT/DRIVER) on top of the C-channel/ammo can assembly and the center vert bosses.  Hey Sparky: Tailgate end of the center vert has an axle installed; the center vert axle and ammo can axles must be on the tailgate end (not the cab side end) of the assembly.
• Use WASHERS bag to install nylon & rubber washers on all CS AMMO CAN bolts. Install the same washers on 12 B1 bolts.
• Use the above bolts to bolt the deck to the ammo cans; BAG B1 for the tailgate ammo can, BAG CS AMMO CAN for the cab side ammo can.
• Now tighten the loose bolts connecting the ammo cans to the C-channel.
• Bolt the deck to the center vert; BAG B1 (no washers). If you must use power tools, use them with caution!

DRIVER SIDE DECK HALF

ASSEMBLY: PASSENGER’S SIDE DECK

• Using the assembly just built as support, assemble the passenger side.

• Place C-channel on the inside ledges of a cab side ammo can and tailgate ammo can.

• The C-channel endplate must rest on the cab side ammo can.

• You should have the correct tailgate ammo can for this step. The axle will be on the tailgate side of the system.
  If not, swap the tailgate ammo cans now.

• Loosely bolt C-channel to the two ammo cans. Make sure the bolt head is in the C-channel, not inside the ammo can; BAG C-CHANNEL (with nylon washers). Deja vu, don’t tighten yet.

• Line up the passenger’s side deck (sticker or mark on the end of deck panel indicates RIGHT/PASSENGER ) on top of the C-channel/ammo can assembly.

• Bolt the deck to the ammo cans; BAG B1 (with nylon and rubber washers) for the tailgate ammo can, BAG CS AMMO CAN (with nylon and rubber washers) for the cab side ammo can.

• DO NOT bolt passenger deck to center vert. Do not pass GO! Do not collect S 200…

• Now tighten the loose bolts connecting the ammo cans to the C-channel.

• Grab your buddy to help you lift the driver-side assembly into the driver’s side of the truck bed. Lift the passenger side assembly into the passenger side of the truck bed and seat the passenger side deck on the upstanding, cylindrical vert bosses.

• Bolt the passenger side deck half to the center vert; BAG B1 (no washers). Make sure all bolts connecting the deck to the center vert are snug. Remember our warning bout power tools?

PASSENGER SIDE DECK HALF

DRAWERS: BRACKETS + WHEELS
(EASIER THAN FALLING OFF A LOG)

• Each drawer has a left and a right bracket. Bolt the brackets into place via the bottom two holes in the bracket with 3/4″ length bolts. Use the 2″ length bolt for the upper cab side wall hole in the bracket; BAG DRAWER 1.
• Install a tube brace in each drawer with two 3/4″ length bolts; BAG DRAWER 1, BAG DRAWER 3.
• Attach wheels onto the drawer brackets with a 7/32″ hex wrench; BAG WHEELS.

INSTALL: DRAWER HANDLES

• OK, Sparky, one drawer handle assembly needs to be installed by you. We did the other one.
• Save yourself the headache, watch this short installation video: DECKED.com/videohandle.
• From the underside of the drawer, place the springs into the cavities on either side of the handle slots, red spring=right spring; BAG HANDLE. NOTE: Each spring arm should point inward, not outward.
• Install a clevis pin through each outside drawer hole and through the spring; BAG HANDLE.
• With the DECKED logo facing outward, insert the handle ends behind the spring arms. Rotate the arms of the handle toward the clevis pins, pulling the spring arm downward. When the handle hole is lined up with the clevis pin, push the pin through the handle hole and through the inside drawer hole. Repeat on the other side of the handle.
• Install a hairpin through the clevis pin; BAG HANDLE.

HANDLE OVERVIEW

INSTALL: DRAWERS

• Save yourself the headache, watch this short installation video: DECKED.com/videotailgatewheels.

• Install the drawer by sliding wheels into their two channels (C-channel and center vert), and slide the drawer all the way forward until closed.

• Install the remaining tailgate side wheels onto their axles; BAG WHEELS.
  NOTE: Placing a spacer under the drawer to raise it into position makes this easier (ammo can lids work well, or a small piece of 2×2 or 2×4).

• Install the weather strips on the tailgate side drawer edge: With the weatherstrip wiper facing the cab side, line up one end with the side of the drawer and place on the top drawer edge, firmly pressing down on the weatherstrip as you move along the drawer edge.
  NOTE: Facing the weather stripping the wrong way will funnel water into the drawer: BAD!

• When the weatherstrip is fully seated along the top edge, trim off any material that extends beyond the drawer edge with wire cutters. Watch out for the stainless wire coil inside; it’s sharp!

INSTALL: THE FUN STUFF

• Use the WASHERS bag and PREP TBO bag for the following steps.
• Slide torsion brace under center vert and tailgate ammo cans. Place the bottle opener on the outside of the torsion brace.
• Loosely install (start with your fingers to avoid cross-threading):
• Two 1/2” bolts through upper holes in the bottle opener into the center vert – no washers needed; leave loose.
• Two 1” bolts with nylon washers through the end holes in torsion brace into tailgate ammo cans; leave loose.
• Two 1” bolts with nylon washers through the bottom bottle opener holes and torsion brace into center vert; leave loose.
• Align bottle opener to edges of center vert and tighten four bottle opener bolts.
• Tighten end bolts into tailgate ammo cans.

INSTALL: J-HOOKS

• Insert the J-hook through the tailgate hole on the passenger side tailgate ammo can and loop J-hook through tie down or mounting bracket in the bed. Screw on the winged- spherical nut-washer, round side down, on the J-hook and fasten until finger tight; BAG J5. Don’t tighten yet. If you do, you won’t be able to center the system properly in your bed.
• Insert the J-hook through the curbside hole on the passenger side cab side ammo can and loop J-hook through tie down or mounting bracket in the bed. Screw on the winged- spherical nut-washer, round side down, on the J-hook and fasten until finger tight; BAG J5. Don’t tighten yet.
• Repeat with J-hooks and ammo cans on the driver’s side.
  IMPORTANT: Leave all J-hook nuts loose.

TIGHTEN: J-HOOKS

• Finally, tighten the J-hooks, gradually and alternatively. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
  IMPORTANT: Make sure to center the vert in the center of your bed. Don’t worry about side gaps, center the vert on the center rib/trough of the bed.

• Install thread bolt protectors on J-hook ends; BAG PREP TBO.

• Install the ruler by aligning the ruler holes with the inserts in the decks. Use your fingers to start the 1/4” screws to avoid cross-threading. Tighten just until snug with a  1/8” hex wrench.

• Insert lock core plugs, or install locks if purchased.

• Nice job. Your mother and I are very proud of you.

IMPORTANT: Grab your favorite beverage, crack ‘er open in the bottle opener and make a toast to your truck. You did it. Immediately post a photo of your significant other,  child, or canine (in no order of significance – please someone show us your pet alligator) appreciating your accomplishment.
