Installation Procedure
Follow these instructions for the Installation procedure
Follow the Same procedure for the Toyota Jumbo
and the Ford Transit.
The Ford Transit has a set of rear cabinets in place of the bed guide in the Toyota.
The installation sequence is identical
We are available to do video calls to give assistance if you have questions
through the assembly installation procedure
Note for the Transit. Place the bed raising cords in place before you install the rear uprights. Tie a figure 8 knot in so they don't pull though. It is a lot easier to do before locating them in place as the uprights fit hard against the rear of the van making it a little awkward if in place .
This is not necessary with the Toyota.
We have tried to minimize visible screw fixing so where possible screw from inside of cabinets .
Fill and sand visible screw fixing prior to oiling. Generally this will take 2 coats of colored poly filler. Sand with 180 - 200 grit sand paper for best results.
Suggestions. Use clamps where possible and have good quality driver bits so they don't slip off the screw heads.
Most of the screw holes will be in place.
But if you feel you need some more in areas use a 3mm 1/8 in drill bit.
