21. Ensure that the locking bar is oriented as shown

in the photo below, at about the middle of the threaded

stud. Install it and hardware onto the threaded stud in

the following order: jam nut—star washer—locking bar

—star washer—jam nut. Snug the hardware but do not

fully tighten at this time, as this hardware will be further

adjusted later in the procedure.

22. Install the Latch into the TrailGate using the provided

U-shaped mounting clamps and clamp screws. Make sure

that the rotating stud and locking bar are oriented toward

the adjacent edge of the TrailGate.

23. Attach the Gate Cable Brackets to the inside-upper

lip of the TrailGate, at the pairs of holes located at either

end of the TrailGate. Use the provided #10-24 X 3/4 SS

Button Head Cap Screws, #10 SS Flat Washers and #10-

24 SS Nylon Insert Lock Nuts. Ensure that the triangular

ﬂange of the Gate Cable Bracket is oriented away from

the adjacent edge of the TrailGate. This hardware may be

fully tightened at this time.

24. With the help of a friend, place the TrailGate against

the tailgate opening on the Jeep. While holding the

TrailGate against the Jeep, make sure that it is visually

centered into the tailgate opening.

Ensure that the gaps between the TrailGate and the edge

of the tailgate opening are equal on either side, and that

the bend that forms the upper lip of the TrailGate is even

with the corresponding contour on the Jeep’s body tub, at

the edge of the tailgate opening (see photo below)

25. Use vise-grips or clamps to hold the TrailGate in

place once the positioning adjustments have been made.

Be careful to continue monitoring the TrailGate’s position

as the clamps are installed, and make any necessary

adjustments. One clamp at each upper corner of the

TrailGate will sufﬁce.
