▼ HEY! TORQUE BOY: READ BEFORE YOU INSTALL DECKED ▼
1. DECKED MUST be installed in conjunction with a
bulkhead wall and/or adequate structural framework
to prevent injury as a result of a traffic accident.
2. DON’T be an idiot read the instructions.
3. DON'T over tighten bolts, get em' hand-tight.
4. DON'T use power tools.
NOTE* Two extra threaded inserts are included in BAGPREP-EXTRA. That’s all you get. The inserts will replace any
stripped inserts in the rear 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.
REAR ammo cans have wide bottoms; FRONT 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.
Prevent abusive, expletitive-filled language, watch our detailed installation video
5. 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.*
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. Use fingers to start all bolts to avoid cross-threading.
or give us a call. We’re happy to help!

WARNING!
This product MUST BE INSTALLED in conjunction with a
1) If your vehicle is equipped with a rubber floor mat in the cargo area, you will need to remove the
screws securing the plastic trim pieces at the base of the rear door and side door openings, and
remove and set aside the plastic trim pieces. If no mat is installed, skip to STEP 3 on this page.
2) At the rear door opening, lift the floor mat and fold it forward so it is clear of the floor area where the
shims will be placed.
3) Using the information in the respective circular detail views on the next page:
a) Clean the surfaces where the shims will be located.
b) Remove the layer of tape on the bottom of the shim to expose the adhesive surface.
c) Place the shim and apply with pressure.
NOTE: STEPS A and C are to be repeated on the passenger side.
4) When all shims are placed, roll the rubber mat back to cover the floor.
5) Reinstall the plastic side and rear door trim pieces and secure with screws.
• Seat passenger side deck on the upstanding vert bosses.
• Bolt the passenger side deck half to the center vert; BAGBOLT 1 FS (B1). Make sure all bolts connecting the deck to
the center vert are snug, but no power tools.
• Insert the J-hook through the hole shown on the passenger side front ammo can and loop J-hook through tie down
or mounting bracket. Assemble with black spherical washer, flat washer and nut; BAG J7. Don’t tighten yet. If you
do, you won’t be able to center the system properly in your van.
• Insert the J-hook through the hole shown on the passenger side rear ammo can and loop J-hook through tie
down or mounting bracket. Assemble with black spherical washer, flat washer and nut; BAG J8. Don’t tighten yet.
IMPORTANT: Leave all J-hook nuts loose until entire deck is in place.
• One drawer handle assembly needs to be installed.
• Save yourself the headache, watch this short installation video: DECKED.com/videohandle.
• From the underside of drawer, place the springs into the cavities on either side of the handle slots,
red spring=right spring; BAG HANDLE. NOTE: Each spring arm should point inward, not outward.
• Install a clevis pin through each outside drawer hole and through spring; BAG HANDLE.
• With DECKED logo facing outward, insert the handle ends behind the spring arms. Rotate the arms of the handle toward
the clevis pins, pulling the spring arm downward. When the handle hole is lined up with the clevis pin, push the pin
through the handle hole and through the inside drawer hole. Repeat on the other side of the handle.
• Install a hair pin through the clevis pin; BAG HANDLE.
HELPFUL TIP: MAKE SURE SPRINGS HAVE
THE LONG ARM HORIZONTAL AND SHORT LEG
VERTICAL BEFORE INSERTING HANDLE
INSTALL: DRAWERS
(HOPEFULLY YOU’RE STILL WEARING YOURS.)
• Save yourself the headache, watch this short installation video: DECKED.com/videotailgatewheels.
• Install the drawer by sliding wheels into their two channels (C-channel and center vert), and slide drawer all the
way forward until closed.
• Install the remaining rear side wheels onto their axles; BAG WHEELS-C.
NOTE: Placing a spacer under the drawer to raise it into position makes this easier
(ammo can lids work well, or a small piece of 2x2 or 2x4 is even better).
• Install the weather strips on the rear side drawer edge: With the weatherstrip wiper facing forward, line up one end
with the side of the drawer and place on the top drawer edge, firmly pressing down on the weatherstrip as you
move along the drawer edge.
NOTE: Facing the weather strips the wrong way will funnel water into drawer if it rains inside your van: BAD!
• When the weatherstrip is fully seated along the top edge, trim off any that extends beyond the drawer edge with
wire cutters. Watch out for the stainless wire coil inside; it’s sharp!
MAKE SURE THE CENTER VERT IS CENTERED IN YOUR VAN; the gaps on either sidewall may not be equal because
the world isn’t perfect and neither is your van.
• Alternately and gradually tighten all J-hooks to ensure DECKED is centered and secure.
Do not tighten one side of J-hooks all the way in one step. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN J-HOOKS!
NOTE: If the DECKED system is noticeably “crowned”, the J-hooks are too tight.
• Install the window covers in the front ammo cans (from inside the ammo can).
CAUTION: The following are small gauge screws – light, hand-tightening is all that is required.
• Center and screw on the ruler/edge guard; BAG FINAL FS.
• Screw on the bottle opener; BAG FINAL FS.
• Install lock core plugs; BAGFINAL FS, or install locks if purchased.
IMPORTANT: Grab your favorite beverage, crack ‘er open in the bottle opener and make a toast to your van.
You did it. Immediately post a photo of your significant other, child or canine (in no order of significance please someone show us your pet alligator) appreciating your accomplishment.
