MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the tool box in the location desired. Make
sure the bottom is in full contact with the truck bed
and that the lid will operate without interference.
2.
Find the location of the "ridges" (high points) in the
bottom of the truck bed. You will need to know
where these are located when you drill the 5/16"
holes through the tool box and truck bed. See the
drawing above for an example.
3. Look under the truck bed to insure you will not be
drilling into any electrical lines or fluid lines.
Center punch the locations where the bolts will be
located. Drill the 5/16" holes through the tool box
and truck bed.

Kit Component List:
NOTE: If your truck has a bed
liner, use these instructions as
a guide only.
Due to the many differences in
4 - 1/4" Bolt
bed liner thickness and fit,
longer fasteners are highly
recommended.
4 - Washer
You will need to ensure that
your new truck box is mounted
securely to the truck, not the
bed liner.
4 - Mylar Locking Nut
Any leaking caused by unsealed holes in the box bottom will
void the warranty.
4. Insert the ¼" bolts through the holes so they extend
through the truck bed. Place the flat washer and
locking nut on the bolt that protrudes from the bottom
of the truck bed. Use suitable wrenches to tighten
the nuts on the bolts.
5.
Before you tighten the screws completely, seal the
holes by applying a caulk or silicone sealant. Some
chest installers remove the screws and reinstall them
through rubber washers. The purpose of this is to
keep water from entering the box from the holes and
newly installed screws.
