PREP BED: 

TAILGATE BRACKET

  

  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

BAG 

PREP-MT6 or MT8. 

•    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;

 

BAG 

PREP-MT6 or MT8.

•     Repeat driver side unless you don't have a driver's side cubby. If not, follow the instructions for driver's side on 

next page. 

NOTE: 

On passenger side ONLY, you will need to add a washer; BAG PREP-MT6 or MT8... 

We know it's strange, trust us.

FACTORY BOLT

PASSENGER SIDE

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.
