1. Remove rear tailgate hinge covers using a flat head screwdriver.
These covers are easily removed by gently prying the covers from the
hinge side until they pop off then sliding to the left being careful not
to crack the clip on the back of the cover. The template on page 3 can
be used to drill clearance holes in the top and bottom tailgate hinge
covers for the use with the spacers used to mount the bracket.
2. Install lower mounting plate by first removing the (2) lower
tailgate hinge bolts. If installing on a vehicle with a RR tire carrier, use
(2) M8 bolts with (2) 25mm spacers to secure the lower mounting plate
to the tailgate as shown. (3) flat washers should be used for each bolt.
Place (1) under the bolt head and (1) on either side of the spacer.
If installing on a vehicle without a RR tire carrier, the mounting bracket
should be installed with the lower mounting plate in this step. Line up
the bottom M8 hole with the bottom right tailgate hinge bolt hole and
insert M8 hardware as shown. Do not fully tighten the bolt securing
the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket will have to be rotated
to gain access to the upper right tailgate hinge bolt in the next step.
NOTICE: IN THE FOLLOWING STEPS THE TAILGATE HINGE BOLTS WILL BE
REMOVED. THE WEIGHT OF THE TAILGATE RESTS ON THESE BOLTS. BE
SURE THAT ONLY ONE TAILGATE HINGE IS UNBOLTED AT A TIME. THIS
WILL ENSURE THE TAILGATE REMAINS ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED.
BRACKET IS DESIGNED TO WORK WITH VARIOUS OFF ROAD
JACKS INCLUDING HI-LIFT
