UBA TAILGATE INSERT

By modifying the top surface of the tailgate, the aluminium insert will fit into the dead space inside the tailgate which now becomes a storage compartment for either recovery gear, kitchen accessories or any other items that need a secure place. Precision made to ensure a perfect fit not to mention lockable for your valuables.

UBA TAILGATE INSERT FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove the tailgate inspection plate and discard.
2. Place the UBA TAILGATE INSERT onto the tailgate in an upside down position while
lining up the six mounting holes with the original tailgate holes closest to the edge.
3. Using a straight edge against the body of the UBA TAILGATE INSERT, mark the
tailgate with a visible marker to determine the cut lines.
4. Once marked, remove the UBA TAILGATE INSERT and mark off the cut lines down the
long and short edges of the tailgate.
5. Cut on these lines with an angle grinder (eye protection to be worn) and discard the
off-cut.
6. File all sharp edges and using a vacuum cleaner, remove all filings and metal
particles. Treat the cut edge with any anti-rust product.
7. Should there be braces and supports inside the tailgate, gently remove these
without damaging the inner tailgate surface.
8. Place the UBA TAILGATE INSERT into the tailgate aligning the six original mounting
holes and mark the remaining holes along the edges.
9. Drill these holes using a 4.8mm bit (eye protection to be worn).
10. Treat all drilled holes with any rust inhibitor.
11. Pop rivet the UBA TAILGATE INSERT into place using the 4.8 x 18mm rivets supplied.
Screw the original six mounting screws into place.
