The JackRabbit is designed to carry rainwater from the cover into
the canister and then out through the drains. Most truck models
have standard OE drain holes or plastic/rubber access ports in the
front of the truck bed. Check to make sure your truck has the OE
Drain Tube Holes
drain holes so that drilling into the sheet metal is not required. If
drilling is necessary , be sure to check the underside of the truck bed
for the best location. The holes should be located near the side and
as far forward as possible. Use a drill bit suitable for sheet metal
(such as a taper drill or step drill). Drill drain tube clearance holes at
3/4” (19mm). This will need to be done before installing the cover.

IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER PERSON TO HELP STEADY THE CANISTER,
IT MAY BE EASIER TO INSTALL THE RAILS (DESCRIBED IN STEP 3)
BEFORE POSITIONING THE CANISTER IN THE TRUCK BED.
Remove the top cover from the canister box and set it aside for
later installation.
Perform a quick inventory to insure all parts are there. Be sure to
check inside the small cardboard box for parts.
You will need one or two support pieces (We suggest using the top
of the box the Jackrabbit was shipped in.) to set in the truck bed
approximately one foot from the cab that will go under the canister,
raising the top of the canister above the bed rails by 2-3 inches.
Remove the Canister from the box and set it on the support(s) in
the truck bed.
