8. Drill and attach middle crossbar / leg assembly
Turn the rack upright and place the rack on the vehicle.
The rear legs should be positioned as far back on the bed edge as possible. Avoid placing attachment
bolt holes in brackets over stake pockets. Check to make sure the tailgate can open and close properly.
Temporarily clamp the rear legs in place (optional but suggested).
Slide the front legs with middle crossbar assembly as close to the front edge of the truck bed as possible,
again avoiding stake pockets.
Ensure the entire rack and legs are square to the bed and vehicle. Adjust if needed.
Mark the location of the square holes in the ribbed middle crossbar end brackets on the underside of the
rectangle side rail tube. For best results use a pencil or marker and trace the outline of the square holes
onto the rail. Repeat for other side.
Slide the front leg / middle crossbar assembly backwards enough to gain clearance to drill.
