shown in Figure 2 for bolting the Rack 
to the truck bed without drilling holes

to cut holes in the side of a liner if the 
truck bed has a liner, or if the side of the 
truck bed is solid, without an inner rim.

Holes drilled in
Bed Liner
To mount the Rack by bolting it to the 
top of the truck bed rim, you will need 
to drill holes in the top of the Pickup rim 
to attach the Posts (12/13). If the truck 
bed has a liner, or the side of the truck 
bed is solid, you will also need to cut 2” 
holes in the side so you have access to 
the bottom of the Bolts (17) to add the 
Washers (20) and Nuts (26).
caUtion: Do not drill any holes until you 
have fully assembled the rack and 
placed it on the truck bed to double 
check the hole placement.
