TGR14000 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 38 5/8”
behind the pinch weld at the front of
the door opening.
3. Using the bracket as a template;
drill six 3/8” holes through the floor
pan. Drop 3/8” x 1 ¼” bolt w/ flat
washers down through floor pan.
4. Bolt the frame brackets to the
bottom of the floor pan using 3/8”
Nylok nuts and flat washers. These
two brackets attach to the inside of
the frame rail.
5. The frame should be drilled with a
3/8” bit for the rear bracket. Use
3/8” x 1 ¼” Nylok nut and flat
washers to secure the bracket to the
frame.
6. The holes for the front bracket
need to be drilled with a 5/16”. A
3/8” x 1” self-tapping screw is used
on this bracket since the frame is
boxed in this section.
7. The hoop mount ties into the
outside of the frame rail with this
bracket. Two 3/8” Nylok nuts with flat
washers will fasten it to the floor and
four 3/8” x 1” self-tapping screws will
secure it to the frame rail. Use a
5/16”’ bit to pre-drill the holes.
8. Bolt the main hoop to the floor
mounts using four 3/8” x 1” socket
head cap screws.
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 5 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.
11. Using the template on page 6;
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 1/8” 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.
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 hole 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
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!
