USING STEP

STEP | 01 LAYOUT AND INSTALL PREP

Choosing Mounting Location: The mounting location

will depend on the accessories used with your rear platform mounting posts and the layout you choose. This guide provides useful dimensional information and recommends installation orientations based on different use cases. FIG 1 shows examples of both the upright and horizontal mounting styles, with the posts positioned at their widest possible locations. Note that the upright and horizontal configurations allow have different available slots for mounting hardware.

Attach Mounting Posts to Platform: Attach Mounting Posts to Rear Door Platform using (3ea) 3/8” Screws, Washers and Nylon Locknuts.

NOTE – We recommend using the horizontal mounting style when mounting up bike trays (like 1up) for maximum stability. The mounting posts can also be arranged on the same vertical plane to be used  for snowboard/ski racks. This can provide storage for a lot of boards/skis!
