Installation Instructions:
Flip and slide the seats forward so you can gain access behind the seats.
1
Remove the Jack. Depending on the year of your truck the jack is secured in the truck
2
diffently. Set the DU-HA (A) in the truck behind the seats. The notched area on the bottom
of the DU-HA will fit around the Jack mount that is on the floor. You have 3 options for
anchoring the DU-HA into your truck. Option 1 is to use Self-Tapping Screws; use this
option if you want your DU-HA permanently attached in your truck. Option 2 is to use
Jack-Nuts; use this option if you want to be able to remove and re-install your DU-HA
in your truck. Option 3 is to use thru-bolts; use this option for a more secure permanent
installation. Once you have the DU-HA in the desired position secure the DU-HA to the truck
using one of the three anchoring options.
Anchoring Option 1:
3
Tools Needed:
//
Warning: Before drilling into the truck floor make sure the area where you are going to drill
through is clear of any electrical wiring, fuel lines, tanks, and reservoirs. You will have
to look under the vehicle to make sure there are no obstructions at the hole locations.
Insert the Self-Tapping Screws (D) through a Washer – 1/4" (H) and the pre-drilled holes
in the bottom of the DU-HA and screw through the carpet or vinyl and into the floor of the
truck using a 1/4" Socket and Socket Wrench or Drill. DO NOT over-tighten.
Anchoring Option 2:
4
Tools Needed:
// Socket – 7/16"
// Socket Wrench
// Phillips Screwdriver – #3
Warning: Before drilling into the truck floor make sure the area where you are going to drill
through is clear of any electrical wiring, fuel lines, tanks, and reservoirs. You will have to
look under the vehicle to make sure there are no obstructions at the hole locations.
With the DU-HA set in your desired position, mark the two holes in the bottom of the DU-HA
A
on the truck floor using a nail or sharp punch. You will need to poke through the carpet
and make a mark on the metal floor of the truck. Next remove the DU-HA and pull back the
carpet or vinyl flooring to expose the metal floor. Find the previously made marks and drill a
7/16" hole.
Prior to installing the Jack-Nut–1/4" (E), hold the Jack-Nut with a pliers, and using the
B
phillips screwdriver, make a hole through the rubber on the Jack-Nut by pressing and
twisting into the rubber on the head of the Jack-Nut–1/4" (E). Next insert the Bolt Hex
Head – 1/4" x 2-1/2" (F) through the hole in the Jack-Nut Friction Wrench (J) and thread
all the way into the Jack-Nut–1/4" (E). Place the Jack-Nut–1/4" (E) in the drilled hole (may
need a hammer to tap into hole). Secure the Jack-Nut to the vehicle by tightening the Bolt
Hex Head – 1/4" x 2-1/2" (F) using a Socket 7/16" and Socket Wrench, press firmly on the
Jack-Nut Friction Wrench (J) and tighten Jack-Nut – 1/4" (E) until you see the rubber on the
Jack-Nut starting to get squished. Do not over tighten (max torque = 41 in/lbs). Remove the
bolt from the Jack-Nut–1/4" (E). Repeat this procedure for the other Jack-Nut.
Note: Jack-Nut Friction Wrench is only used to install Jack-Nuts. It does not take a lot of
torque to break a Jack-Nut so it is best to use a 7/16" Socket and Socket Wrench. If using
a drill with a 7/16" Socket, be very careful not to over tighten and strip out the Jack-Nut.
