Installation Process
Driver Side Installation
Begin your installation on the driver side of your vehicle. Slide the driver side tie-down insert into the open end of the factory trailer hitch.
Next, install a bolt and flat washer through the hole in the receiver while holding a spacer into position. Secure the assembly with a flat washer, lock washer, and nut.
Passenger Side Installation
Repeat the same process on the passenger side. Slide the passenger side tie-down insert into the open end of the factory trailer hitch, then install the bolt and flat washer through the receiver hole while holding the spacer in position. Secure with a flat washer, lock washer, and nut.
Dealing with Rust or Fitment Issues
If your truck has rust present, you may need to use a mallet and block of wood to properly install the receiver. This helps protect the finish while ensuring a secure fit.
In some cases, you may need to install additional washers between the tie-down and hitch to achieve proper fitment. This adjustment ensures a secure and stable installation.
Using Your Tie-Downs
When you're ready to use your tie-downs, slide an insert into the receiver and secure it with a quarter inch snapper pin. This simple process allows you to quickly prepare your truck for camper loading.
Your installation is now complete and your Toyota Tacoma is ready to safely secure your slide-in camper.
