TGR14500 Installation Instructions

• Initial fitment of the floor mount brackets must be done under the carpet. Final installation can
be done under or over the carpet.

• Use Anti-Seize on all fasteners that are threaded into stainless clamps or brackets.

• Install all bars before final tightening.

• Always tighten the tab side of the clamp first.

• Torque all 3/8” fasteners to 45 ft-lbs and all 1/2” fasteners to 75 ft-lbs.

• Make sure the clamp is exactly where you want it before tightening as the clamp may scratch

the tubing.

• Watch for fuel and brake lines when drilling holes through the floor pan.

1. Start by replacing all of the body
mounts with the new polyurethane
mounts included. Using the old
rubber mounts can cause clearance
and fitment issues.

2. Position the main hoop floor
mount so that the front of it is 1 7/8”
behind the front edge of the body
seam on the rocker.

3. Using the bracket as a template;

drill four 3/8” holes through the floor
pan. Drop 3/8” x 1 ¼” bolt w/ flat
washers down through floor pan.

4. Bolt the inner frame brackets to
the bottom of the floor pan using 3/8”
Nylok nuts and flat washers.

5. The bracket will be fastened to
the frame with two 3/8” x 1” self­tapping screws. (The frame is boxed
in this section.) The holes must first
be drilled using a 5/16” bit.

7. The outer two holes of the hoop
mount will attach to the outside of the
frame rail with this bracket. Using
the bracket as a template; drill two
3/8” holes into the frame. Use two
3/8” x 1 ¼ bolts, flat washers and
Nylok nuts to secure the bracket to
the frame.

8. Using the bracket as a template;
drill two 3/8” holes into the “B” pillar.
Place this reinforcement plate inside
the quarter. Secure assembly with
two 3/8” x 1 ¾” bolts, flat washers,
and Nylok nuts.

9. Bolt the main hoop to the floor
mounts using four 3/8” x 1” socket
head cap screws.

11. Using the template on page 7;
drill four 3/8” holes into the top of the
package tray.

12. Attach a “D” Clamp to the main
hoop with the tab facing rearward
with the top of the clamp
approximately 35 9/16” above the
floor mount . Use 3/8” x 1” socket
head cap screws on the clamp.

13. Place the driver side package
tray bar on the package tray and
secure it to the clamp with a ½” x 1
½” 12 point bolt and flange nut.

9. In order to keep the “T” in the
casting facing up, and the bolts
facing the correct direction, there are
two different direction clamps. Be
very careful as to which clamp
halves you are bolting together.
Refer to the image on page 6 for
clamp locations.

10. A correctly assembled clamp
should look like the one in the picture
shown to the left; there should be a

gap on one side for the tab to
slide into.

14. Drop four 3/8” x 1 ¼” bolts with
flat washers down through the bar
mount and the holes in the package
tray.

15. Fasten the trunk bar to the
package tray bar with four 3/8” Nylok
nuts and flat washers.

16. Using the trunk bar as a
template drill two 3/8” holes through
the vertical surface of the package
tray.

17. Place the reinforcement plate on
the inside of the package tray and
secure with assembly with two 3/8” x
1 ¼” bolts, flat washers and Nylok
nuts. Nuts should face the trunk.

18. Using the trunk bar as a
template; mark the 4 holes in the
floor pan with a center punch. First
drill the hole with a 1/8” bit. Before
drilling the holes to 3/8”, hold the
bottom frame bracket up against the
frame rail to ensure that the bolt
holes will align. Re-drill 1/8” holes if
necessary.

19. Drop four 3/8” x 1 ¼” bolts with
flat washers down through the floor
pan.

20. Secure the frame bracket to the
floor pan with four 3/8” Nylok nuts
and flat washers.

21. Using the bracket as a template;
drill four 3/8” holes through the frame
rail. Fasten the bracket to the frame
with four 3/8” x 1 ¼” bolt, Nylok nuts
and flat washers.

22. You may now tighten all clamps
and bolts. Installation complete!
