7. Assemble the rear light bar by inserting the rear mounting legs into the
rear light bar securing with the snapper pins.
8. Slide rear mounting hoop into the basket mounting tabs on rear of basket.
Position rear hoop so that both mounting brackets are even with the top of
the body tub and the rear edge of the rear bracket is approximately 3/4"
rearward from vertical body seam. The two pairs of horizontal and
vertical holes should straddle the vertical seam, and the vertical holes
should straddle the horizontal seam. Mark the holes where they are to be
drilled and then remove the rear hoop.
9. Drill 3/8" holes where marked. Reinstall the rear hoop onto the basket.
Install provided bolts through the body tub using the supplied bolts, nuts,
and washers and tighten loosely. Use of the bottom bolt on the rear
mounting brackets is optional to provide extra rigidity and does require
installation of the washer and nut from beneath the vehicle.
10. Make sure basket is centered side to side. A useful trick here is to zip tie
your hoop to the basket so that it stays together while you’re centering
and drilling the hoop. Using basket mounting tabs as a guide, drill 5/16" holes through front and rear mounting hoops.
Install 5/16” X 2” bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts, and then tighten. Be sure that you do not tighten to the
point of crushing the tube as this will very likely cause the tube to break over time.
11. Tighten rear hoop body mounting bolts! After a test drive, recheck tightness of all bolts and you are done!
