1. Preparing for Installation

Before you begin the installation process, it's important to prepare your vehicle.

Please follow these steps:

De-installation of OEM Mesh Mounts

Unscrew the 6 screws as in the picture on the left. Set them aside. The rings or rails may be located here, depending on the modification.

Clearing the Trunk Space

Remove items 1, 2, and 3 from the trunk area to create enough space for the installation. Ensure the trunk is clear of any other objects or debris that might interfere with the installation process.

2. Connecting Drawers with Sliders

Preparing the Workspace

Begin by placing Drawer Module (10) on a flat surface. Using a table is recommended for ease of assembly.

Attaching the Left Side support

Take Left Side Support 4 and align its rail with the rail of the drawer, as illustrated in View A. Ensure that the rails are aligned evenly, avoiding any misalignment. Gently push the left side support towards the drawer facade until it's fully installed.

Attaching the Right Side support

Follow the same procedure with Right Side Support 5.

If the rails don't fit together smoothly, it's likely due to an angle issue. Carefully withdraw the support and try again, ensuring proper alignment without forcing the components. Avoid using excessive force as this can damage the sliders. By following these steps, you should be able to securely and safely attach the drawer supports, ensuring a smooth and functional drawer mechanism.

3. Frame assembly

Take the Top Lid (14) and put it on the drawer precisely. Connect the hinged Center Support of the Top Cover to the Left Support (4) and Right Support (5) by using the screws and the big wrench provided in the kit. Attach the Rear Left Support (2) to the Left Support (4). Attach the Rear Right Support (3) to the Right Support (5). Refer to View A and B shown right for a visual guide.

Note: Ensure all screws are tightened securely, but avoid over-tightening which might strip the threads. If you have any difficulties, double-check the pictures provided to ensure the correct assembly.

4. Lids attaching

1. Join the First part of the Rear small lid (22) with the Second part of the Rear small lid (24) using the Join plate (23). For this, use the larger screws and the larger key provided in your kit. This step is illustrated in view C of the instructions.

2. Attach this combined rear lid to the rear support. You'll need the 6 smaller screws and the small key for this part. See in views B and C of the manual.

3. Depending on the year your Jeep was manufactured, select either the left cover (6) or (7). Connect your chosen cover to the left support (4) using the 6 small screws and small key, as shown in view A.

4. For the right cover, choose between cover (8) or (9), based on whether your Jeep has a subwoofer. Attach it to the right support (5) using the 6 small screws and small key, as detailed in view D. You can discard the two covers that are not used.

5. Installing the Assembled Drawer

Start by folding down the rear seats to create space in the trunk. Carefully pick up the assembled drawer, keeping in mind that it weighs approximately 40 pounds. If you're not confident about lifting this weight, it's advisable to enlist the help of someone to assist. Before placing the drawer, check to ensure the trunk is free of any foreign objects that might obstruct the installation. Gently insert the drawer into the trunk at 45-degree angle. This technique is crucial to avoid damaging the rear left and right supports. Once the drawer is correctly angled and positioned, lower it into place.

6. Securing the Drawer in Your Jeep

Once the drawer is placed in the trunk, align the holes in the right and left support brackets with the corresponding holes in the floor of your Jeep. Take the six bolts provided in step 1. Refer to the illustrations in Picture View A and B as a guide, and proceed to screw the box to the floor using these bolts. Ensure each bolt is tightened appropriately for a stable and secure fit. Connect the Front Left Side Support (11) to the Left Side Support (4). Connect the Front Right Support (12) (or 13 if you have a subwoofer) to Support (5). To set up the assembled drawer in the trunk easily, you can make these steps in the trunk using a screwdriver or impact.

7. Operating the Drawer

After securing the drawer, you can safely unfold the rear seats back into their original position. With this, the installation process is complete. Your new drawer system should now be securely in place and ready for use. To open the drawer, press the flags (F) (depending on the batch there are two or one flags) with your finger and simultaneously pull the handle. To close the drawer, push it back in until you hear or feel it snap shut, confirming it is securely locked. Remember, the drawer should remain firmly closed without pressing the flag. This is a safety feature to prevent accidental opening.

Note: these dividers can be positioned in four different locations within the drawer. This versatility allows you to create customized compartments, ensuring efficient use of space and easy access to your items.

Note: after the drawer installation, gently open and close the drawer a few times to ensure it operates smoothly. The drawer should open easily with one hand and without requiring excessive force. If the drawer doesn’t open smoothly or seems to stick, inspect the bottom of the box underneath the drawer. Occasionally, foreign objects can cause obstruction. Clear any things you find to ensure smooth operation. The maximum load capacity for the fully extended drawer is 100 Ibs!

Flexible Lid Opening Mechanism
We've designed the top lid (14) of this product for convenience; you can open it whether the drawer is open or closed. To open the lid, simply lift it upwards. If you require additional support or stability, you can install one or both of the provided supports. (View G)

Note: the top lid (14) can be joined to the drawer module (10) by using a keyed hasp lock (L). This option provides additional security your drawer contains. Use keys (20) provided in the kit to close and open the lock.

8. Adjusting Lid Opening Angle

For different opening angles, you have the option to use various holes for installing the stanchions (G1, G2). This feature allows you to customize the lid's position according to your specific needs or preferences.
