Today on our 2011 GMC Sierra, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the TorkLift custom frame mounted camper tie downs for the rear, part number TLC3203.Here's what it looks like. As you can see, it's got a nice black powder coated finish. It fits securely up to the frame rails using factory hardware. It's got two adjustable positions. That's the all the way in, and out. That's your second position, depending on the width of your camper or your preference to how close you want your tie downs to come to your vehicle.
When you're not go to use it any more, you just pull out the pin. Underneath the vehicle you are not going to lose any ground clearance, and from the side, it's pretty much hidden except for the small part of the bottom that you'll see there. This is a complete bolt-on design, easy to install. It attaches securely to the frame instead of tying on to the side of the bumper where a lot of other manufacturers tie on their brackets. It's easy to use.Now let's go ahead and show you how to install it.
Your rear kit is going to consist of two receiver tubes and the two bent arm tie downs. Going to be your brackets and two pins. The hardware is going to be reusing the factory bumper bolt and trailer hitch parts. To begin our install, we're going to remove these two nuts. They go through the bumper.
They're on a tied-in plate on the back side, so we're just going to take the two nuts off. We're going to set these aside and reuse them to install our receiver tube. The next two inaudible 00:00:55 we're going to be removing would be this nut here and this bolt. Those are 21 millimeter. We're going to save the hardware because we're going to reuse that for installation, as well.Now we can take our receiver tube, slide it up into position, reinstall the nut and the bolt.
Now we'll take our two bolts that are tied together, that go through the bumper, flip them back up from the back side. We can put our nuts on those, and we'll snug those down. It may be necessary to take a wrench on the back side and hold it. We'll take our 18 and we can tighten down these two side ones. Now, when we're tightening up our bolts, we're going to set the torque to what it says in our instructions. Repeat the same process for the other side. That's going to do it for our look at and install of the TorkLift custom frame mounted camper tie downs for the rear on our 2011 GMC Sierra.
