NOTE:
You will need to grab a pal for this step (or have incredibly long and flexible arms).
• Remove top rear factory compartment bolt from the passenger side with a T40 Torx Driver. Keep bolt.
• Loosely attach passanger side tailgate bracket with factory bolt in top hole. Make sure the tie down opening is
angled toward the driver, not the tailgate

• Align bracket so it's parallel with vertical edge of compartment. Tighten factory bolt at last!
• Using the bottom hole in bracket as a guide, drill a 5/16" hole with a 1/2" drill stop through compartment and bed wall.
• Install a 1" bolt through the bracket and bed wall. Install 1" washer and flanged nut and tighten securely

HELPFUL TIP:
Feel free to remove doors of cubbies
so you can still somewhat use them. Use will be
compromised, but hey, life ain't always fair, right?!
HELPFUL TIP:
The power outlet can still be used if you
insert a flat head pigtail extension cord BEFORE you
install the decks. Make sure to have the outlet capped
to keep water out.
