How to Install Teraflex Rear Cargo Rack Side Panel Kit - Black on your Wrangler

Prior to beginning this or any installation read these instructions to familiarize yourself with the required steps and evaluate if you are experienced and capable to personally perform these modifications. A factory service manual should be used in conjunction with these installation instructions.

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake. Thread locking compound has been provided in this kit. Apply to all fasteners. If your rack has been installed you will need to remove it from the vehicle and remove the mounting brackets in order to install the panel kit.

2. Start by laying the panels in their corresponding location. The short and long panels are not side specific. The notch in the short panels will be installed facing the bottom of the rack assembly. 

3. Note the location of the slotted holes in each panel. For every slot you will install a corresponding #651380 Roll-In T-Nut into the aluminum rails top and bottom. Remove the rubber peg from the T-Nut before installation.

4. Next loosely thread in (24) #333 bolts into the just installed. (24) #651380 T-Nuts.

5. Now simply lift the panels and position in between the rails making sure to line the bolts up with the slotted holes. Once all the panels have been installed tighten the (24) #333 bolts and Torque to 5 FT-LBS (7 Nm).

6. This concludes the installation of the panels. Return to step 14 in the rack assembly instructions.
