Step 1
Starting with the driver side, locate and
cut out the plastic stake pocket cover.
Repeat for passenger-side stake pocket
cover.
Note: Some vehicles have removable
stake pocket covers and cutting is not
necessary.
Step 2
Insert a flathead screwdriver into
the stake pocket and push in the tab
to remove the plug. Repeat for the
passenger-side stake pocket plug.
Note: Not all vehicles will have a plug to
be removed. Removal is only necessary
if it interferes with stake pocket clamps.
Step 3
Place the headache rack on a work
table with the slotted ends hanging
off the sides of the table.
Insert a 14mm bolt, 14mm lock washer
and 14mm flat washer through the slot
and attach to the stake pocket clamp.
The stake pocket clamp should be
hanging down off the bottom of the
headache rack.
Repeat to attach the passenger-side
clamp to the headache rack.
Step 4
Carefully align the stake pocket
clamps over the stake pockets.
With help, hold the clamps shut so they
fit into the stake pockets and insert the
clamp into the driver-side pocket.
Repeat on the passenger side.
