BEFORE YOU START:

Read the instructions carefully before you start. These instructions are written for one-person installation. We
have noted where briefl y having an extra person’s assistance can make installation easier. If you have questions
regarding the installation please call our Technical Support Line at [phone].

DRAIN HOLE LOCATIONS:

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 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.

JACKRABBIT® SERIES TOYOTA HILUX

STEP 1: POSITIONING CANISTER

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.

STEP 2: INSTALLING RAILS

Support
Piece

Top of Canister should clear
Truck Bed Rails by 2-3”

HARDWARE USED:

1/4-20 x 3/4” BOLT x 2

1/4” LOCK WASHER x 2

1/4” FLAT W ASHER x 2

Open the rail box along the length of the box; lift rails out to avoid scratching the rail surface
on the package staples.

REMOVE PROTECTIVE P APER ON UNDERSIDE OF RAILS. THIS IS FOR P ACKAGING
PURPOSES ONLY.

Install the rails by sliding them through the attached blanket guides on the canister,
threading the blanket in the rails, and sliding the rails into the rail grips that are attached on
the inside of the canister.

Then slide the rails forward, towards the truck cab making sure that both of the rail grips
are engaged. (Figure 2a)

Secure the rail by installing the hardware (Bolt, Lock Washer , Flat W asher) through the Rail
Grip Attachment and predrilled hole in the rail.

Complete for both left and right rails.
