Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Vertical Supports
- Slide the cover over the vertical support as shown in the instructions.
- Insert the plastic cap into the top of the vertical support.
- Slide the vertical support and cover into the bed mount assembly.
- Insert two M10-1.5 x 50mm carriage bolts through the square holes in the bed mount and the vertical support.
- Add M10 lock washers and M10-1.5 hex nuts to the bolts.
- Tighten all M10 fasteners to approximately 25 Lb.-Ft. using a 17mm socket and wrench.
- Secure the cover in place using a 1/4-20 set screw and tighten with a 1/8” hex key. Avoid overtightening.
- Repeat these steps for all four vertical supports.
Step 2: Install Bed Mount Assemblies
- Clean the bed rails to remove debris and dirt.
- Place the vertical supports onto the bed rail at the desired location. The long end of the base must point toward the truck bed.
- Attach the clamps to the bed mounts and hand-tighten the wing nuts.
- Ensure that all vertical support bases are aligned front-to-back on both sides of the bed rail.
- Leave the clamps slightly loose at this step to allow for adjustments in later steps.
Step 3: Attach Crossbars
- Remove the end caps and under covers from the crossbars.
- Place the crossbars onto the vertical supports and center them from side to side.
- Align the adapter blocks and M10 T-Bolts with the flanges on the vertical supports.
- Mark the crossbar location on each side of the vertical support flange using a marking pencil.
- If necessary, use a hack saw to trim the under cover to fit the truck bed and hardware.
- Reinstall the under cover pieces in the marked positions.
Step 4: Secure the Crossbars
- Attach the crossbars to the vertical supports using:
- M10 flat washers
- M10 lock washers
- M10 hex nuts
- Tighten all M10 fasteners to approximately 38 Lb.-Ft. using a 17mm wrench.
Step 5: Attach Corner Braces
- Raise the corner brace into position and attach the top of the brace to the M8 T-Bolt in the crossbar using:
- One M8 hex nut
- One M8 lock washer
- Install an M8 button head screw and lock washer into the rivet nut in the vertical support tube.
- Tighten all M8 fasteners to approximately 25 Lb.-Ft. using a 5mm hex key.
