2. With the tailgate and tire carrier in the closed and latched
position, place Tire Carrier Bracket on the horizontal beam of
the A-frame tire carrier and position it to the right of the Tailgate
Bracket. Use the Coupler to connect the two Rod Ends. Note
that the ends of the Coupler have opposing threads to allow for
length adjustment. This also means that each end of the
Coupler must fasten to the appropriately threaded Rod End.
Thread the Coupler half way into each Rod End to allow room
for final adjustment later.
