Note: If installing in a 2 door JK you will need to remove the rear seat from the vehicle. Due to variations
between models and different manufacture options, mounting is not the same in all vehicles. The Storage
Vault can be securely mounted in various ways, using the “L” brackets or box base mounting holes or a
combination of both. It is recommended to mount using 4 mounting points but the option is yours.
Step 1: The storage vault will cover the rear oem storage area. If you have anything inside it, remove now.
(Fig A) You will also need to remove your floor jack. Your new storage vault is the perfect place to store it!
NOTE: If you do not want to drill and permanently secure your box, simply slide drawer back into box and
you are done.
Step 2: Remove the drawer from the box completely. Pull the drawer out and release side locking clamps.
(Push down on the left side (Fig B) and push up on the right side.) This will enable you to remove it.

Rear “L” Mounting Brackets
On most 4-door models you can mount the rear of the box using the included “L” brackets. Fold rear seat
forward. Remove the two strap brackets using a #30 Torx bit. Place the included “L” bracket over the hole
and secure using the bolt you just removed. Use a scribe or other sharp object to mark a hole on the back of
the box then remove bracket and drill a 5/16” hole. (Fig F, G)
On 2-door models you will need to drill both holes for the rear “L” brackets. (floor and box) Place bracket in
desired location and mark holes both on the box and carpet. Its recommended to cut a small hole in the carpet
where marked in order to install the screw easier. (Fig H) Drill a pilot hole and then install bracket onto floor
using the included self tapping screws. (Fig L)
Always use caution when drilling. Make sure there are no obstructions before doing so. (Fig I)
Secure brackets to the floor. Do not attach box to the brackets at this time.

Front / Inside Mounting
On some 4-door models you can mount the front right side of the box using the included “L” bracket.
Remove the strap bracket located in front of the 12v outlet using a #30 Torx bit. (Fig J) Place the included
“L” bracket over hole and secure using the bolt you just removed. Use a scribe or other sharp object to mark
hole on the side of the box then remove bracket and drill a 5/16” hole. (Fig F, G)
On other models you will need to drill both holes in the front, using the pre-drilled holes in the bottom of
the box as a template. If you did not use the “L” brackets on the rear of the box there are 4 holes on the inside
of the box base to use as mounting points. Making sure box is in desired location mark the holes using a white
wax or paint pin in order to show up on the carpet. (Fig K) Be sure too note the location of the box in order
for the holes to lineup when installing the screws. Remove the box and set to the side. Its recommended to cut
a small hole in the carpet where marked in order to install the screws easier. (Fig H) Drill a pilot hole through
the carpet and floor. (Fig L) Set box back into vehicle in the same location it was previously in. (Fig C)
Secure with self tapping screw and fender washer. (Fig M) Do not tighten completely at this time.

If using “L” brackets on the rear and or one side, insert a 5/16” hex bolt through the bracket into the box.
Begin to tighten the hex bolts. It’s best to tighten each one a little bit in a round pattern instead of one
completely at a time. This will help you get your box level as close as possible. Once all screws are secure on
the inside base of the box, proceed to tighten all of the “L” bracket hardware.
After going back to make sure all hardware is tight, re-install the drawer into the box. Installation is now
complete. (Fig O, P, Q)

the two nuts located on each side of the latch (Fig R)

more storage. (Fig S, T)
