11. Temporarily install the Tramp Stamp using the
supplied SS button head cap screws in the four nut-sert
locations that were installed in the previous step. Make
sure the Tramp Stamp™ still installs correctly aligned. If
one or more of the nut-serts has “walked” off-center during
installation, you may need to oblong the hole(s) slightly
with a small rat-tail file. Coat the threads of the screws
with anti-sieze compound before threading them in.
12. Use a 1/4” drill bit to drill the remaining mounting
holes, using the Tramp Stamp™ as a drill guide. Be sure
to also drill the two hinge holes at either side. Remove the
Tramp Stamp™.
13. In all but the hinge hole locations, drill the new 1/4”
holes out to 25/64”, then proceed with installing the 1/4-
20 nut-serts into these holes.
14. At the 4 hinge hole locations, drill these holes out to
1/2”. This will provide clearance for the nuts that holds
the hinge to the Tramp Stamp™.
15. Apply some touch-up paint to the bare metal around
the edges of each of the holes just drilled, to provide future
protection against rust.
16. Install the two hinges into the corresponding holes
along the top edge of the Tramp Stamp™, using the
supplied SS button head cap screws and lock nuts.
17. Re-Install the Tramp Stamp™, using all of the
provided hardware. If one or more of the nut-serts has
“walked” off-center during installation, you may need to
oblong the hole(s) slightly with a small rat-tail file.
18. Bolt the TrailGate™ to the hinges using the provided
hardware. Take care to ensure that the TrailGate™
is properly aligned within the tailgate opening while
tightening the hardware. There is a small amount of
adjustment that may be made in the hinge bolts, if needed.
If further adjustment is needed for proper alignment, oblong
the holes slightly with a small rat-taile file. OPTIONAL:
The supplied TrailGate Hinge Spacers may be installed
between the hinge and the TrailGate, to more closely
align the outer surface of the TrailGate with the Jeep’s
body tub surface if Crusher Corners or Trail Corners are
not installed.
19. Bolt the two Gate-Side Cable Brackets to the
TrailGate using the provided hardware.
20. Attach the Limit Cable to the Gate-Side Cable
Bracket, then to the Tub-Side Cable Bracket, as shown. Do
this for both sides.
21. Install the provided weatherstrips to the vertical
flanges along either side of the tailgate opening. Make
sure the bulb seal is oriented toward the rear, so that the
TrailGate™ compresses it as it closes.
22. Install the provided lock/latch mechanisms into
each of the rectangular holes in the TrailGate™ . Use the
u-bracket provided in the latch kit to secure the mechanism
in place. Use the provided jamb nuts and washers to orient
and install the latch as shown in the photo below. Upon
closing the TrailGate™, it is likely that the latch will require
some adjustment. Loosen/tighten the jam nuts to move the
latch in either direction, until the correct position is found.
