▼ 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. Start all bolts with fingers to avoid cross-threading
6. DON'T over tighten J-hooks during installation.
Make 'em good and snug enough to keep the
system from moving in the bed.
7. 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.

PREP BED
(JUST LIKE YOUR MOMMA TAUGHT YOU.)
1) Using the dimensions in the view below, find the location for the DECKED brackets; BAG PREP 8’S; on both sides of
the truck, referencing location from existing factory tie-down brackets.
2) Use the DECKED bracket as a guide to mark hole locations on the inside bed wall.
3) Attach a drill stop to 5/16” drill bit and set depth of drill stop to be 1/4” from tip of drill bit.
NOTE: Extreme caution must be taken when locating and drilling holes. Not using a drill stop could cause
damage to fuel lines and hoses, possibly causing a fire or explosion.
4) Using drill with drill stop, drill two 5/16” holes at locations marked in step 2.
NOTE: Once you have drilled the holes into the vehicle, the raw metal edges should be sealed using
a self-etching primer to resist corrosion and potential fastener point failure.
5) Place tie-down bracket up against side panel and place bolts through holes.
6) Have a buddy position themselves underneath the vehicle, so they can install the backing plate
and nuts over the bolts.
7) While holding head of bolts, have your buddy tighten the nuts with a wrench or ratchet.
8) REPEAT process for opposite side of truck.
