INSTALLING TIEDOWN POST ASSEMBLIES

NOTE

In order to mount the tiedown post assemblies to the mounting plate

assembly, the supporting blocks used to raise the CBC/mounting plate

combination must be selected to raise the CBC at least 8-1/2 inches in

order to allow adequate clearance for the installation of the tiedown post

assemblies.

Four tiedown post assemblies (1) are installed at the four corners of the mounting plate assembly (2).

These tiedown post assemblies will later be lowered into holes (3) on the vehicle bed (4) and help to

secure the CBC and Mounting Plate combination to the vehicle bed.

To install the rear tiedown post assemblies, locate the tiedown post mounting holes (5) located at the

corners of the rear mounting plate sections. Be sure to use the forward set of mounting holes when

installing the rear tiedown post assemblies.

Position one tiedown post spacer plate (6) under one corner of the mounting plate and align the mounting

holes (7) in the spacer plate with the forward mounting holes (5) in the mounting plate.

Position one tiedown post assembly (1) in position under and against the spacer plate (6) positioned

above. Align all mounting holes.

Install two 5/16 inch (.328 inch ID x 1.375 inch OD x .063 inch thick) flat washers (8), followed by 5/16

inch lockwasher (9) and 5/16 inch UNC x 1 3/4 inch long hex head screw (10) down through the mounting

plate (2), spacer plate (6), and into the tiedown post assembly (1). Repeat for the second mounting hole.

Hand tighten the screws into the rivnuts (11) installed in the tiedown post assembly (1).

Do not tighten the screws securely at this time. The screw installation holes are oversized slightly to allow

the tiedown posts to move slightly.

Install the other rear tiedown post assembly.

Install the two front tiedown post assemblies in the corners of the front mounting plate assembly in similar

fashion.
