How to install bed extender in utilitrac?

kstitan · 09-24-2005, 11:37 PM

I just got a bed extender from a fellow member and want to know is there is a trick to install it. I assume the brackets go in the utilitrac slides and then bolt to the extender. Do you put the utilitrac end stops in to keep the extender from sliding out the back? Also, where do the straps on the extender go? I couldn't find anything in the owner's manual about this, and even did a search on the forum. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No there is no trick, the brackets just slide into the slots. The extender dosen't bolt to the extender it just fits inside of the brackets. You can use the stops to keep it from sliding if you want to, although I don't because when you tighten it down it isn't going to go anywhere.
The straps with the metal ends snap into the tailgate latch.
