INSTALL

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR THIS STEP: + MEASURING TAPE
+ MARKER

STEP | 01 LAYOUT AND INSTALL PREP

The Rear Platform Gear Cage is designed to be compatible with FVC Rear Door Platforms, but can be modified for installation with other rear door accessory systems.

1.1 Determine Mounting Height: Dry fit the cage to your mounting surface and determine the desired height of install. If you'd rather measure, see FIG 2 for distances between the mounting points.

1.2 Modify Gear Cage (Optional): If you are using a product other than the FVC Rear Door Platform, mark the back of the Rear Panel to match your available mounting points and drill out (4) 3/8" holes accordingly.

PRO-TIP: A table or stand of an appropriate height can be very helpful during this install.

FIG 1

PRO-TIP: Masking tape can also be used to mark desired install height.

NOTE - Modifying your Rear Storage Box Gear Cage for mounting to products other than FVC Rear Door Platforms is done at your own risk. If you don't feel comfortable installing this on your own, see our Find a Builder or Upfitter page to locate an approved installer near you.
