▼ HEY! TORQUE BOY: READ BEFORE YOU INSTALL DECKED ▼

1. DON’T be an idiot read the instructions.

2. DON'T over tighten bolts, get em' hand-tight.

3. DON'T use power tools.

4. If you don't follow directions and do use power tools:

1). Set clutch at a very low setting. 2). If you blow it, see NOTE.*

NOTE* Two extra threaded inserts are included in BAG PREP-EXTRA. That’s all you get. The inserts will replace any

stripped inserts in the tailgate ammo cans, but NOT THE CENTER VERT, so hand tighten until snug only! You can
also screw the inserts back in if dislocated. There is a straight screwdriver slot on the underside of the insert.

TAILGATE ammo cans have wide bottoms; CABSIDE ammo cans have narrow bottoms.
NOTE: You will need a buddy to help with exactly two steps, not including draining the sixpack or snapping

pics of you posing.

5. DON'T over tighten J-hooks during installation.
Make 'em good and snug enough to keep the
system from moving in the bed.

6. Nice job if you’re still reading .

Prevent abusive, expletitive-filled language, watch our detailed installation video

or give us a call. We’re happy to help!

AMMO CAN DRAIN HOLES

(TO DRILL OR NOT TO DRILL.)

• Do you use a tonneau or shell over your DECKED system?
There is no need to drill holes.

• Does your DECKED system live outside?

The ammo cans will get water in them. You’ll need to drill holes in the ammo cans.
There are two dimples in the bottom of each ammo can. Drill a 1/2” hole at each dimple. A smaller hole
will get clogged.
