STEP 7: INSTALLING TAILGATE DRAINTUBES
To install the tailgate drain tubes you need to find suitable holes in
the rear stiffener of your truck bed. Figure 7B shows possible hole
locations.
Next you will screw the drain tube onto the drain fitting and slide it
on the tailgate cap as shown in figure 7C. There is an interference
bump on the cap that will lock the drain fitting in place. Next you will
need to thread the drain tube in the desired hole and trim the length
of the tube if needed. If there are no holes on the tailgate side of
your truck you will need to drill holes (5/8” or 16mm), make sure to
check for wires you could damage first.

Fasten the pre assembled Kickstand Assembly on the Grip using the provided mounting bolt, flat washer, lock
washer and wingnut (FIG. 6E). Next swing up the kickstand so that the adjusting bolt is as perpendicular to the Truck
Bed wall as possible (FIG. 6F). If you need more or less engagement you can change the length of the Kickstand by
flipping Kickstand Base (FIG. 6G). Tighten the Adjusting Bolt first by using the vinyl cap for quick adjustment, fine
tuning and higher torque can then be applied using the Turn Knob. Once the rails are level double check that your
Between-the-Rail dimension is still good and you can fully tighten the clamps.
