Okay, First things first...Select a roll pan for your vehicle. There are 2 choices you can choose from: A Steel roll pan or a Fiberglass roll pan. In my experience, steel is the better choice because it doesn't warp after being manufactured and install goes much smoother. Fiberglass is usually cheaper but you run the risk of it being warped and it might not last as long. Next you will need to take off the tailgate by first disconnecting the tailgate support cables on either side. You can usually half-open the tailgate and one side will be able to slide up and off. (See repair or owners manual for proper removal on your vehicle). Now that the tailgate is off, DISCONNECT all wiring leading to rear bumper for license plate light, tow packages, ect. Next, remove rear bumper via the brackets attached at the frame frame (usually 3 or 4 bolts). This will completely remove your stock bumper.

Install:

After completing steps above. With tailgate off, set roll pan into desired position making sure everything looks square to sides and bottom. (Note: pulling or pushing of the bed corners is sometimes necessary for proper fit). Using Duct Tape, attach roll pan and reinstall tailgate to ensure clearance when tailgate is in operation. Adjust roll pan as necessary to obtain proper clearance and desired look. FINALLY bolt roll pan into place using supplied screws or weld* (steel roll pan only) if desired. Reinstall tailgate and you are done!
