Introduction
The BuiltRight Bedside Rack System for the Jeep Gladiator mounts directly to the factory Trail Rail system or using our Utility Rail System (coming soon). Non-invasive installation keeps OEM Trail Utility Rail in it’s original location, ensuring that it’s load capacity isn’t reduced and preserving stock rail location/spacing for current and future accessories. Simply place the T-Slot nuts into the rail, move the panel into place and use the included hardware to fasten the panel to the rail. Larger panels will also use a lower mounting point, near the tie-down loop, for additional rigidity.

Install the Channel Nuts:
- With the panel loosely mounted, position the channel nuts horizontally in the trail rail.
- Slip the channel nut into the rail at a slight angle and rotate it to a 45-degree angle to lock it in place.
- Ensure the channel nut is fully seated by checking its angle.
- Repeat Process with Passenger Side Panel, Leaving All Components Loose.

- Ensure slots line up with side panels.
- Fully tighten center panel

Align and Tighten the Side Panels:
- Align the panel tab at the bottom with the tie down location. Position the panel in between the 2 washers on the tie down (retaining washer against truck bed, small washer separating panel from tie down)

- While tightening the top bolts, make sure the bottom channel nut remains properly aligned.
- Fully Tighten All Hardware.
