OVERHEAD RACK INSTALLATION:
1. Take the forward left and right overhead rack corner units
and slide them onto the outer tracks of the base rails. (The
forward units have TracRac decals on them). Slide them
up against the safety locking bolts at the cab end, insert
and tighten the black plastic knobs at the base of each
corner unit.
2. Take the overhead rack crossbar and orient it so that the
side with the flat indentation faces down. Insert four
1 1/8” long T-bolts (head first) into the slot cut out on the
underside of the crossbar. Slide two bolts into position
above the saddle plates on the left and right sides.
3. Now insert the bolts through the holes in the saddle
plates. Center the crossbar between the left and right
corner units by adjusting the amount of crossbar that
protrudes from each end of saddle plate.
Note: If you will be installing the TracRac Cantilever
Extension, do not use the T-bolts on the outside of the front
saddle plates to fasten the crossbar. Fasten the crossbar to
the saddle plate using only the inside T-bolts.
4. Starting with the bolts on the inside left and right, tighten
the self-locking nuts, leaving enough play for final adjust-
ment of crossbar.
5. Re-check that the crossbar is centered between the
two corner units, then tighten the outer self locking nuts
completely and completely tighten the inner nuts.
6. We supply “flat bar corner braces” for extra support. To
install, slide two T-bolts into the slot on the underside of
the crossbar. Insert the bolts into the top holes on the
flat bar brace (both left and right) and hand tighten the
self locking nuts.
7. Secure the lower end of each brace to the inside of
the rack corner with 3/8-16 x 1” hex head cap screws
and lock washers. Go back to the crossbar T-bolts and
tighten completely.
