Deck // GEN 2

So, you’ve purchased a gen 2 Deck for your Jeep JL. Congrats! Now it’s time to get it installed.

Tools Needed:

  • Blanket or Furniture Pad.

  • 4mm Allen Key/T-Handle or Socket.

Time Needed:

  • 10-15 Mins.

Let’s take a look at what comes in the box.

  • Deck Base (x1)

  • 6x20 mm Bolt (x6)

  • 6mm Washer (x10)

  • Red 4mm Thumb Screws (x2)

  • Locking tabs (x2)

Step 1 - Prepare for Installation.

  1. Remove back seat and any gear you have in the back of your Jeep. It’s best to work with a clean slate.

  2. Tumble the front seats of the jeep forward to give you some more room.

  3. Loosen and remove the red thumb screws from the mounting points on both sides of the Deck base.

  4. Slide the two locking tabs to the back of the Deck Base.

Step 2 - Install Deck Base.

  1. Install the deck base by placing the rear hooks into the rear mounting loops for the back seat. Place the deck at a low angle and pull toward the back of the jeep to seat the hooks. The hooks are designed to deflect for a pre- tensioned fitment. This may take a couple of tries on the first installation.

  2. Lay the base down flat, allowing the front mounting loops to come through the mounting plate. BE SURE TO PULL THE WHEEL WELL CARPET SECTIONS OUT FROM UNDER THE BASE. This will ensure everything sits flat and will allow the locking tabs to slide in place easily.

  3. Slide the locking tabs forward and align the hole in the tab with the threaded hole in the mounting plate. Fit should be snug but not difficult. If you encounter excessive resistance or the fit feels really tight, make sure the edges of the wheel well carpet sections are not underneath the base.

  4. Thread and tighten the red thumb screws to secure the locking tabs in place.

  5. MAKE SURE THE REAR HOOKS OF THE DECK ARE PROPERLY ENGAGED. THE DECK WILL NOT SIT LEVEL OR FUNCTION PROPERLY IF THEY ARE NOT CORRECTLY ENGAGED.

Step 3 - Install your gear.

  1. Use the (6) 6mm bolts to attach your gear to the deck. This length of screw can accommodate mounting anything up to 1/8” thick. For anything thicker, you’ll need to use some longer screws. Use the table below for recommended lengths.

  2. Do not to use screws that are too long- they can damage your carpet and scratch your tub if they poke through the back!
