I have to pickup some patio furniture tomorrow and need to remove my ARE. I have a 2nd person for help. Can someone please provide detailed instructions for removal and installation? How long does it take to remove it and put it back on? Thanks in advance.

I'll come by and take if off for you and install on mine......Is yours Red Brawn??? Sorry, have nothing constructive to say.

I called the place I purchased it from and it seems pretty easy.

It takes a total of 5 minutes to take off. Mine is with the utilitrack. There are four hex bolts that hold the complete frame and lid to the truck. They are located in the middle of each of the four tabs that attach to the utilitrack. Unscrew the hex bolts and the entire lid with the frame will lift straight up. I put 4 chairs in the garage and placed the lid and frame on top of the chair backs instead of on the ground. I looked at and called the dealer about leaving the frame on the truck and just taking off the lid part but it was way too involved and had to take the hinges off. The lid goes back on just as quick. Be sure to center it on the bed rails. It is really a simple thing to do.

Man, could that be any easier? It does require 2 people with a little strength, but it was a snap to take off.
