Step 4: (2011 JK Only) Fold the tailgate support bar bracket back over the GEAR cover and using
an Awl tool punch holes through the cover into the OEM holes for the bracket. (Fig F)
If you don’t have an Awl, you can carefully use a sharp blade to make a slit in the cover.
Now proceed to align the bracket over the cover and re-install the previously removed
bolts. (Fig G)

Step 5: After all screws are installed now attach pouches to cover. After determining the best
location for the pouch, slide the pouch straps through the webbing in the cover. (Fig H)
Now fold the strap back up and place it through the webbing on the back of the pouch.
(Fig I) Then slide the pouch strap through the next row of webbing on the cover. (Fig J)
Depending on the size of the pouch and length of strap you may go through 2, 3 or more
rows of webbing on the cover. Finally secure by fastening snaps together. Installation
is now complete.
