▼ 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.
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!

PREP BED: TAILGATE BRACKET
NOTE: You will need to grab a pal for this step (or have incredibly long and flexible arms).
• Remove top rear factory compartment bolt from the passenger side with a T40 Torx Driver. Keep bolt.
• Loosely attach passanger side tailgate bracket with factory bolt in top hole. Make sure the tie down opening is
angled toward the driver, not the tailgate; BAG PREP-MT5 or MT7.
• Align bracket so it's parallel with vertical edge of compartment. Tighten factory bolt at last!
• Using the bottom hole in bracket as a guide, drill a 5/16" hole with a 1/2" drill stop through compartment and bed wall.
• Install a 1" bolt through the bracket and bed wall. Install 1" washer and flanged nut and tighten securely;
BAG PREP-MT5 or MT7.
• Repeat driver side unless you don't have a driver's side cubby. If not, follow the instructions for driver's side on
next page. NOTE: On passenger side ONLY, you will need to add a washer; BAG PREP-MT5 or MT7...
We know it's strange, trust us.
