Hey it's Kyle with Midwest Aftermarket and today we're gonna be installing the
Decked storage system now for bigger projects like this if you've seen these
videos before you know I need some help in the form of Cory Cory Cory oh there
you are buddy ok we're gonna be installing this thing we're going to
take you step by step and show you how it's done
are you ready Cory alright so the first thing that we're gonna do is we're gonna
drill holes in the bottom of your ammo cans here's why water is gonna get into
these things that is very difficult to get out because the ammo cans are gonna
be inside of the Decked system so you're gonna see two dimples on each one of the
cans if you look real close look Cory see it there you go that's right and you're
just going to simply drill a hole through those that's going to give you
some room for water so Cory go ahead and drill it
we're gonna start by taking a couple of our ammo cans and then lining them up
with the c-channel here now this right here is going to be your back ammo can
and you can tell that because it's flat kind of like the opposite of what sir
mix-a-lot likes right back flat ask your parents kids ok and you're gonna know
that the c-channel the back of the C channel is gonna have a square right
here ok so you simply line this bad boy up with the holes in your back ammo can
and the cool thing about Decked is they label each and every one of their parts
that you're gonna need to install this so you pop open the box and at first it
might look a little overwhelming because you have so much stuff in there but they
actually label everything 1a 1b 1c which is really cool so you're gonna take your
1a stuff and you're gonna get going Cory Cory
oh there he is okay so here's gonna be threading you're bolt through here on
this side then you're gonna obviously be a hand tightening the nut on the inside
of the ammo can there and again you don't want to tighten it all the way
that's gonna be for later on look at Cory's big muscles sexy and of course
you're gonna be doing the same thing on the other side right Cory this part of
the Decked storage system is actually the vert this is gonna be the middle of your
Decked storage system okay and you're gonna be able to tell which side is
closest to the tailgate because you're gonna have a hole for the axle right
here okay now the part of the Decked storage system and you're gonna be
laying on top of this is actually gonna be labeled it's gonna say left it's
gonna say front very easy and then after you've installed the ammo cans here
you're just gonna be laying that part of the Decked on top so we're just gonna go
ahead and do that nice next we're gonna be securing the deck to the ammo cans
next we're gonna be securing the Decked to the ammo cans
and again a cool thing about this is all of these packages are gonna be labeled
so you have 1B for the back you have 1C for the cab and we're just going
to be taking these bolts and putting him through each of these holes here and
secure in this bad boy on Cory let's do it yeah
next we're going to be putting the bolts into the vert here and we're going to be
using bag 1D
next we're going to be tightening the ammo cans to the C
channel now again we left those loose earlier now we're just going to be
tightening those up next we're going to be taking our axle that is found in the
2A package and sliding that bad-boy inside then taking the nut and
tightening that with our hands
next you're gonna be doing the same thing with this axle found in the to 2B
package you're gonna be sliding that into the vert there and taking your nut
and tightening it on just like you did last time
next with your front two factory tie-downs you're gonna remove those bad
boys but make sure that you keep the bolts because you're gonna use those
bolts to install the bracket that's gonna be found in bag 3a now speaking of
that bracket there's gonna be two clips there that you're gonna install okay
onto the bottom right there and that is going to be used to fasten on the Decked
system now Cory is going to use those sexy forearms to do all the work there
you go big boy show them off
next we're gonna be lifting half of the Decked system that we've already put
together into the truck bed now you are gonna need a friend for this I don't
have any so I have Cory all right you ready Cory let's do it
yeah it's not super heavy or anything but if you want to grunt when you lift
it you'll feel more like a man beautiful next we're gonna be taking the j-hook
found in j6 and attaching that to the tie down right then we're gonna be
popping the top of the J hook up through the middle hole in that ammo can
bippity-boppity-boo how sweet is that okay then you're gonna be putting your
black piece on followed by your washer and then your bolt, nut, your nut next
we're going to be using the J hook to attach the Decked system to your truck by
first taking the black piece right there slide that onto the J hook like so
beautiful then we're going to be taking the washer sliding that washer on then
finally the nut screw beautiful then just tighten it up just next you're gonna be taking your
Next you're going to be taking your
two bolts that you found in bag 3b and threading them through these two holes
right here that are gonna line up with that bracket that you placed on the
truck earlier now it's very important not to tighten these things up yet at
this point because you're gonna want that slack and wiggle room when you put
the next part of the Decked in now that your second side of the Decked is
assembled just like the first side you're gonna be getting a friend or in
this case a Cory much respect right there to lift it up put it in the bed
simple ready Cory now remember you're gonna grunt when you lift this okay it's
gonna make you feel stronger ready here we go
there it is all right yeah
next you're gonna be installing this side of the Decked the exact opposite of
the way that you would stop just kidding it's the exact same of course it is I
don't even really need to say I do I
yeah just put it in the same way now have everything tightened down we're just gonna take this cap here and
pop it into the hole then we're going to be taking the bolts found in the short
5C bag and just tightening them like so
next we're gonna be working on the drawers so take one of your drawers you
can grab these black channels here and really it doesn't matter what side that
you put them on because they have holes they're gonna line up with the holes on
the underside so make sure that you find your first hole first right here get you
a Cory possibly to help you out by holding down your other side then you're
gonna take bag 6e and grab these guys right here these backside nuts and you
can pop these in and it might actually help you out to lightly tap it in with a
hammer now the last time that Cory used a
hammer he actually went to jail so I'm gonna do this part
this is just yeah this is gonna take forever
Is that how we are going to be doing it so I was unable to get that one in because I wanted to make
sure that Cory knew what he was doing so now that we know that Cory knows
what he's doing we're gonna pop this second one in right Corey right
now remember everything I taught you with that hammer Cory next you're gonna be putting your
back corner braces onto your drawers in the corner now all of the stuff that you
need to install these guys are gonna be in bag 6a and 6b and you can use either
bag for either drawer okay so you're gonna take this one right here this one
with the big old shaft you're gonna stick it through the hole and you're
gonna use these little guys okay little guys in the bottom two holes on
your brace all right then you're gonna grab your nut here and you're gonna
screw it on just like this just saying hi has gone what's up bolt
with something up just saying hi just saying what's up yeah yeah okay mm-hmm
yeah okay so after you popped the two tiny
screws into the bottom of your brace and the one large one into the top you're
gonna see this black pipe right here now this isn't used for warding off
muggers it's actually gonna be a brace that you're gonna put so you have one
hole left in your braces that should be on the top the farthest away from the
corner so you're gonna put it in the middle right here and you are going to
feed your bolt through just like this all right yeah now once you get this
bolt into there you can actually use the brace to screw it on here see there we
go just like this okay yeah all right
next we're gonna be putting the wheels on so you're gonna find all of your
wheels in bag 8B and you're gonna take this big old bolt here you're gonna
put it inside of the wheel and then feed it through the shaft on the bracket yeah
there you go Cory put it in that shaft yeah all the way in that shaft you can
use an Allen wrench there to tighten that guy up next you're gonna be taking
your springs found in bag 7c placing those underneath this part of the handle
there's going to be a part that points inward on your drawer here then you're
gonna grab your pins and you're going to insert your pins into the outside of
this part of the handle you're going to take your pin it's going to go through
the middle part of your spring but not all the way through because you're gonna
be taking your handle here all right popping that inside and you're gonna see
some grooves right here on the up inside part of your handle that those grooves
are going to attach to the springs like so yeah right there then in
bags 7d you're gonna find these clips here these clips are gonna go on the
inside of your pins so you can pop the pin over here through the hole and then
put these clips on the pin
next we're going to be placing the brace onto the drawer now you can actually
place this brace wherever you want inside of the door we've chosen to place
it in the middle because that's where you're gonna get your most support so
you're going to take the couple of screws that you can find in bag 8a and
you're going to be placing those through the holes on the end of your brace here
now these are actually going to screw inside of your drawer your drawer is not
going to have pre-drilled holes so it's going to take a little bit of effort you
screwing those in there and they're gonna go ahead and screw themselves into
your drawer now you see Cory with those big muscular forearms that's how he got
those drawers gonna go inside of your Decked now the wheels are just gonna be
placed on your C channels here and you're gonna slide it all in beautiful
you're gonna be lifting your decked drawer up you're gonna be taking your
wheel there and popping it into the axle right there on the bottom of the Decked
and you can use an allen wrench to tighten that bad boy up next if you
purchase the optional lock kit for added safety you're gonna be installing that
into this hole right here now we did not so we're just going to be popping the
plug on found in bag 7e then we're gonna be putting the seal onto the drawer now
you have to be careful here because if you do it all willy-nilly just shoving
it on in you're gonna screw things up because this is gonna be funneling your
water out but if you place it on the wrong way it's gonna be funneling your
water in so you're gonna see some writing on there it's gonna tell you
exactly what way to put that onto the drawer and you're just gonna pop it on
like so there we go perfect no h2o is gonna harm us huh Cory that's right
yeah use that thumb that's a big thumb it's a big thumb now Cory is going to
do the other drawer under my strict supervision
that's good Cory that's good then we're gonna be using these screws
from 9a to secure the plate to the top of the dick now not only is this going
to be a brace it's also super nifty it shows you screw and bolt diameters and
inches and also conversions then he's going to be using the bolts from 9a to
secure the bottle opener to the front of the Decked as well
