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.
