Installation Time

1 hours

Tools Required
  • Phillips screw driver
  • Torx T-25 driver
  • Power drill
  • 9/64” drill bit
  • Center punch
  • Supplied templates
  • Soapy Water

Cut out supplied template and tape to the D-pillar as shown. Using a center punch, mark holes as specified by the template.


Using a power drill and 9/64” drill bit, drill through the sheet metal. If equipped with a bedliner, drill through bedliner.


Fasten mounting brackets using the supplied self-tapping Phillips screws and torque to 30 in. lbs. If equipped with a bedliner, install mounting brackets over bedliner.

NOTE: If bedliner has contours that may prohibit a flat, solid mounting surface, cut out a rectangular section to clear the bracket and mount the bracket directly to the metal D-pillar.


BED X-TENDER ASSEMBLY

Using template measure 7” from each end of the three long tubes and mark with tape. Tape is to be used as a reference point. (See step 6)


Slide the center tube (With Amp logo) into the center tube of the 3-tube assembly. Be sure to slide on Strap Buckle Assembly to center tube of Pivot Upright Assembly


Insert the top long tube into the top tube of the 3-tube assembly.


Insert the bottom long tube into the bottom tube of the 3-tube assembly.


Repeat for the other side.


Adjust the width of the BEDXTENDER to fit the preinstalled mounting brackets. To keep tube overlap constant, adjust each tube so that the gap between the edge and the tape is the same.


Attach plastic upright around the tube juncture, placing rubber bumpers into the two ends of the upright.


Tighten PT-Screws using a T-25 torx driver, starting in the middle of each upright, then the outer screws and lastly the remaining two to evenly tighten.


For Toyota applications the supplied Strap Buckle Insert must be used.

Remove the PT-Screw with a T20 Torx driver.


Install Strap Buckle Insert with the provided 10/32 x 7mm socket head cap screw with a 4mm hex key. Repeat for other strap.


When the BEDXTENDER is at the furthest rear position, push down on the buckle to insert into tailgate latch. Tighten straps. To release, pull tailgate handle.

NOTE: Ensure that buckles are properly inserted into latches by pulling on the straps after both buckles have been inserted
