 My name is Andrew Varga and I'm with Razor Back Off-Road. And today we're really excited to kind of go over a new rack that we're introducing for 2020. It's for the Can-Am Defender. And I just wanted to go over some of the components that will come with your rack that we include. You will not have to do any drilling. Everything will be able to be bolt on and it will be a very easy install. Some of the components that you will receive is you'll receive a full tray and that should be three pieces. So you're gonna have a left and a right piece and then you're gonna have a middle bracket that will tie the two pieces together. And that'll be included. And also what is included is the two sides. So some of the tools that I suggest that you use to install will make your install very easy. So I use a 9-16ths and a 7-16ths box wrench and I use a 9-16ths, a 7-16ths and a 3-8ths socket. We are gonna be pulling some panels off of the machine and it just helps with easier access to install your sides. You'll need two Torx bits. You'll need a T20 and a T30 Torx bit to install this rack on the machine. So let me go over some of the hardware that will be included in your kit. So we'll have 3-8ths bolts, 3-8ths nylocs and we include these mounting plates for your machine and these will all be used to install the sides of your rack on the machine. And we also include the quarter inch hardware. We include all of this and all of this hardware will be used to put together the bracket and they'll also be used to install this tray onto the sides. So what we'll begin with is we'll grab our T30 and our T20 Torx bits and we'll go take off the panels on the machine. So I like to have a bin kind of nearby because you're gonna be taking off six screws here. And so I'm gonna start with the T30, the Torx 30 and you're gonna have three screws up here on top and you're gonna have one underneath the bottom. So I'm gonna take these out. That's where this bin comes in handy. Okay, so you're gonna take those three out and then you got one underneath here towards kind of towards the back and then you're gonna grab your T20. Here you got two small ones underneath here. So you're gonna take these out. You got one more here in the back. You're gonna kind of wanna hold it up a little bit because it'll fall on you, okay? So you can take this one out and once you have that out, okay? So when you take this panel off, you're gonna wanna slowly bring it away from the machine. This tail light doesn't come out with it. So you wanna kind of angle it down and then see, it just pops off. You don't wanna just pull straight off. You wanna kind of angle it and then move it out. And then you're gonna just take your panel and just set it off to the side for now, okay? And just make sure you save your bolts, all right? So now you have all the access you need to mount the sides onto the machine. So you're gonna be using four out of these five mounting holes up here on top and I'll go into that next. And what you're gonna need for that is you're gonna need your 916 box wrench and your 916 socket and you're gonna start with four, four of the three-eighths bolts. You're gonna need four nylocs, nyloc nuts and then you're gonna need four of these mounting plates, okay? And then you're gonna grab a side and you're gonna go and install it on your machine. So once you have the side off, you're gonna place the side onto the rail here. So you could go ahead and place your tools kind of in the bed and the hardware. So the thing with how we design this is that we have some flanges that are built into the base plate here and it's to help prevent the rack from sliding around. So you wanna make sure that this piece is flush with the bottom of the bed rail here and you wanna make sure that it's pushed all the way up against the bed here. So you want it all the way up against the bed and you want the rack all the way back. So back and towards the bed, okay? And we're gonna start with the front here. So you're gonna get your three-eighths bolt and your washer and you go through the top, okay? And we've provided these base plates and these are directional. So one side is longer than the other. So you can't install this backwards. So if you try to install it wrong, you'll feel that it won't sit flush on the bottom side of this bed rail. So what you wanna make sure is that it's oriented correctly and it's actually touching the bottom side of the bed rail. And then you're gonna take your nyloc, okay? And you're gonna go ahead and just install that, okay? You're gonna do the same for the rest of these. So we'll start with the front one here. So same thing. Said direction does matter. So we'll go ahead and get those in there. We'll do the same for the other two. So we've provided eight bolts, eight base plates. So you're gonna install it basically on these first four holes of the bed rail. This will be the last one. So once you have everything in place, just one more time, make sure that it's pulled back and towards the bed, okay? And now you're gonna take your box wrench, your 916's box wrench, your 916 socket, and you're gonna go ahead and tighten these down. So you want these fairly tight so that way this thing doesn't slide on you. So once you have tightened all these down, then you're gonna go ahead and do the same thing to the other side. Once you have your sides installed on your machine, the next thing you're gonna assemble is the tray. So what I like to start with, I like to start with one side of the tray. And what I'll do is I'll hang one end of the tray off the table a little bit. That way you have plenty of access to install your hardware. You're gonna grab the center bracket. So this center bracket's gonna be installed right on this side and there's kind of a bent part in the tray here and what you're gonna do is you're gonna slide it in there first and then you're gonna slide it down in there. See, if you put this in in first, it won't fit in there. So you gotta slide it in just like this. And you're gonna grab your carriage bolts and it's gonna be 10 carriage bolts and you're gonna grab your nuts here. So I'll usually like to get one started so I start in the middle. Okay, you're gonna grab your nut. Okay, and you're gonna start there. And I usually do the bottoms first and then I do the sides. Just the bottom sides here last. So once you have these all installed, okay. You're gonna put it through the side and you'll notice that on the carriage you'll have this square portion of it and we've actually cut this into the bracket and also on the tray. So you're just gonna match this to where you'll see the carriage bolt sit flushly against the metal here. Because you can install it backwards, but it won't sit right. Okay. So once you have all the bolts installed on the first half of the tray, what you're gonna wanna do is you're gonna wanna orient the trays. And I like to hang, again, one part of it kind of off. Like so. And what you're gonna wanna do is you're gonna wanna install it, like I said, with the bent piece in, you're gonna wanna put this end in first and then this should slide right down into this tray. And hanging it off a little bit you could get at least the first one here started. This next one down here. You may need to kind of prop it up a little bit so you can hold it up like so. And now do the middle bolt, the middle bolt here. So once you have the bottom ones in you gotta put the last ones in on the ends. Okay. And it might take some shimming in here, but it'll go in on this side. So that should be all for the carriage bolts. So now you're gonna wanna grab the flange bolts and you're gonna need three of them. There's one bolt that has to go on the front of the tray and then there's gonna be two that are gonna need to be installed on the back. So we start with the front one. Front one you may need to just kind of tilt it up to kind of get clear access to it. Okay. And then you install the two in the back. And you may need to just makes it easier for access. And if you notice and I am leaving all the bolts loose it just makes it go together a lot better. Keep the tray together or make it easier to install the tray. So now once you kind of have all of your hardware in place now you're gonna take your 7-16ths socket and your ratchet and you're just gonna go through all of them and just make sure that they're tight now now that you kind of have them all in there. So we're gonna go ahead and just tighten everything. Okay. And I'll kind of flip it over just to show you. So since it's just go through and make sure all of them are tight you're gonna also need a 3-8 socket and a 7-16ths box wrench. You're gonna tighten all the bolts in the back and do the one on the front. Okay. And don't forget the ones in the side, beat this side. Now that you have all the hardware installed on your tray and tightened down we're now gonna take the tray and install it on the sides. So now you're gonna place your tray on your rack in between the two sides here. Okay. So you wanna make sure that your rack is there's a bracket located in the back here. You wanna make sure that the tray is pushed up all the way against the back. You just wanna double check both sides before you start placing your hardware. Okay. So now you're gonna grab your quarter inch bolts and we're gonna start with that rear bracket back here. And so a little trick that I like to use is I like to pick up the front end of the tray just a little bit and then that these back bolts will slide right in there. And in this stage you don't wanna tighten anything down just yet. You wanna make sure that you have all the bolts installed first and then you could go back through and tighten everything down. All right. And there's gonna be two more brackets on the side here. You're gonna go ahead and install both of those as well. So like I said, leave everything loose and once you have these bolts in place you're gonna go ahead and do the same thing to the other side. So now that you have all of your hardware in place on your tray you're gonna now take your 3-8 socket and your 7-16 box wrench and now you're gonna go through and just make sure everything is tight and secured. All right and then you're gonna do the same thing to the other side and once you have it all tightened down should be good to go. So once you're done installing your rack now we're gonna put the body panels back on the machine and we're gonna start with this. So these have a little tab on the plastic here and you're gonna wanna reinstall it exactly how you took it off. So you're gonna wanna start at a little bit of an angle and I'll slide right up in there and voila, it's right into place. You just have to make sure you get around this light and then you'll get your hardware and start with, you don't wanna cross-thread the bolts back on there. So you wanna start with putting them in by hand, kinda gotta reach in here and put them in by hand. So just make sure that you start with your finger so you don't cross-thread the bolts back on your machine. That would be a bummer, okay? So you got the large bolts, don't forget the one down here on the bottom, okay? So get them all done finger and these bottom ones are a little bit tricky but once you get it, it's not too bad. Kinda gotta locate where it's supposed to go. Once you kinda get them started, now you can go through and put them on the machine. And the reason why I gotta use a ratchet is because the tire's in the way here so it's kind of limited access but it's not too bad. So there you have it. Once you're done with tightening all the bolts, you're gonna do the same thing to the other side. So there you have it, you've now completed your install of your Can-Am Defender Rack.
