1 Peel the backing from the adhesive on the foam tape (H) and apply 2 pieces to each bottom surface of the wheel well toolbox. Place the wheel well toolbox (A) into the truck bed so that the cutout of the toolbox goes over wheel well of the truck. Move toolbox (A) into desired location in bed of the truck making sure the hinges of the lid of the box are toward the inside of the truck bed. The left and right mounting brackets (B/C) are mounted as shown below.
2 Remove the wheel well toolbox (A) from the vehicle and examine the marked hole locations on the inside vertical lip of the bed. • If the back side of the lip is accessible at marked hole location to allow for installation of a nut (F) onto bolt (E) through lip then go to STEP 3 BELOW. • If the back side of the lip is inaccessible at marked hole location then go to STEP 4 BELOW.
3 If the back side of the vertical inside bed lip is accessible at marked hole location to allow for installation of a nut (F) onto a bolt (E) through bed lip then use ¼” drill bit at hole locations. Secure mounting brackets (B/C) to the inside of the vehicle bed rail using ¼” x ¾” hex head bolts (E), ¼” flat washers (G), and ¼” hex nuts (F). Do not tighten hardware.
4 If the back side of the vertical inside bed lip is inaccessible at marked hole location then use 3/16” drill bit for installation of sheet metal screws (D). Secure mounting brackets (B/C) to the inside of the vehicle bed rail using ¼” x 1” sheet metal screws (D). Do not tighten hardware.
5 Place the wheel well toolbox (A) back into the truck bed inside of the mounting brackets (B/C) as shown below. Use the existing holes in the mounting brackets (B/C) as a guide to drill two ¼” holes through the outside of each end of the wheel well toolbox (A).
