A)

  Determine your roof carrier mounting points.   

• If you are mounting your tent to an old fashioned steel 
rack, or oval/rectangular rails and load bars that are no 
larger than 2” wide x 1.25” high, use the included bracket 
plates.  Insert the included bolts through the 8 slide plates, 
and  insert 4 slide plates per channel.   

INSTALL RACK MOUNTING POINTS

• If you are mounting your tent on a Front Runner Slimline Rack, you have 2 choices:  

1)  For the standard Tent Mount Kit  (FRUN16) -  use the 8 8mm bolts included with the tent 

mount kit and insert the bolts into all 8 slide plates, then slide 4 plates into each channel. 

    (You can discard the 8mm bolts that came with the tent).  
  
2) For the Quick Release Tent Mount kit, use the 4 8mm bolts included with the Quick Release 
Kit and slide 2 plates in each channel.    

B)  

Line up the hinge plates to the the predrilled holes along the aluminum extrusion.    

Use the 4 remaining 6 x 40mm bolts to mount the 2 hinge plates.  Insert the bolts from 
inside the tent with the nuts on the outside.  Tighten.
