W ARNING
This product can reduce the driver’s ability to clearly see roadways, vehicular or pedestrian traffic and other objects through the
rear and side windows of the vehicle, which may cause an accident. Extra precautions should be taken when driving a vehicle
with this product. Make all adjustments necessary to ensure maximum visibility, including but not limited to, changing mirror and
seating positions. State and local laws may prohibit obstruction
of windows in a moving vehicle.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install two Reinforcing Brackets
in front corners of truck bed, as
shown in Fig. 2. Place the brackets
in position and mark the holes
indicated on the bed. Drill four 3/8"
holes (per bracket) first, then
redrill the four holes in the front of
the bed with a 1/2" drill. Install
Blind Fasteners in these four holes
(Blind Fastener instructions on back
page). Secure brackets. (If the

WARNING
Prior to drilling, so as not to
cut or puncture fuel tanks, fuel
lines, brake lines, electric
wires, etc., check under vehicle for locations.
WARNING
All floor mounting bolts near
the gas tank area should be
installed from the underside
of the vehicle, to guard against
the gas tank being cut or punctured in the event of a collision.
This would mean not using
Blind Fastener in this area.
Holes drilled in this area
should be 3/8".
2. Place the PROTECT-A-RAIL® unit
in the pickup bed, against the front
wall, centering it from side-to-side.
Placethe "Z" Brackets as high on the
inside of the leg as they will go and
mark through the mounting holes
(Chevy and Dodge only) see Fig. 3.
The Ford Ranger will use the holes in
the Reinforcing Bracket, see Fig. 4
("Z" Brackets to outside of the legs).
3. Remove the PROTECT-A-RAIL ®
unit and brackets and drill the holes in
the front bed wall with a 1/2" drill bit.
