FOLDING WINDSHIELD
The fold-down windshield on your vehicle is a
structural element that can provide protection in
some accidents. The windshield also provides
protection against weather, road debris and
intrusion of small branches and other objects.

(Continued)
Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the
windshield down, as you lose the protection this
structural element provides.
If required for certain off-road uses, the windshield
can be folded down. However, the protection
afforded by the windshield is then lost. If you fold
down the windshield, drive slowly and cautiously. It
is recommended that the speed of the vehicle be
limited to 10 mph (16 km/h), with low range
operation preferred if you are driving off-road with
the windshield folded down.
Raise the windshield as soon as the task that
required its removal is completed and before you
return to on-road driving. Both you and your
passengers should wear seat belts at all times,
on-road and off-road, regardless of whether the
windshield is raised or folded down.

Chamfered Boards In Pickup Box
NOTE:
Failure to support the load at these two forward
locations could result in damage.
Three 2x4 boards are needed to provide support
at locations (1) and (2). Each board will need to
be cut to fit inside the pickup box.
The support at location (1) should be seated in
the dedicated formation on top of the wheel
-
houses.
The support at location (2) should use the
remaining two 2x4s. Stack the boards and place
them into the formation in the side wall of the
pickup box. The corners of the bottom board will
need to be chamfered to fit.
NOTE:
All cargo transported in the pickup box must
be secured.

BED RAIL TIE DOWN SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Bed Rail Tie Down system allows you to
properly secure cargo in the truck bed.
Bed Rail Tie Down Locations
There are two adjustable utility rail cleats on each
side of the bed that can be used to assist in
securing cargo.
Adjustable Cleat Assembly
Each utility rail cleat must be tightened down in
one of the detents along either utility rail in order to
keep cargo properly secured.
To move the utility rail cleat to any position on the
utility rail, turn the cleat retainer nut
counterclockwise several times. Then, pull out on
the utility rail cleat and slide it to the detent
nearest the desired location. Make sure the utility
rail cleat is seated in the detent, and tighten the
nut.
To remove the utility rail cleats from the side utility
rails, slide the cleat to the rectangular cutout
located at the end of the rail toward the front of the
vehicle.
To remove the utility rail cleat from the front utility
rail, slide the cleat to the rectangular cutout
located on the left side of the rail.
TONNEAU COVER — IF EQUIPPED
The Tonneau Cover can be installed on the truck
bed to keep cargo out of view, and protect from
inclement weather.
The Tonneau Cover consists of the following
features:
Easy roll up cover
Tonneau fore/aft locator
Crossbar inside bed locator
Rear latches
Stowage straps
NOTE:
The Tonneau Cover can be rolled up and secured
at the front of the truck bed without removing it
completely.
CAUTION!
The maximum load per cleat should not exceed
250 lb (113 kg) and the angle of the load on
each cleat should not exceed 45 degrees above
horizontal, or damage to the cleat or cleat rail
may occur.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:
Roof rack applications are for Hard Top models
ONLY.
The Roof Luggage Rack is designed to allow for
carrying an additional cargo load on a Hard Top
Vehicle. The load carried on the roof, when
equipped with a luggage rack, must not exceed
100 lb (45 kg), this includes the weight of the
crossbars, and it should be uniformly distributed
over the cargo area.
Crossbars should always be used whenever cargo
is placed on the roof rack. Check the straps
frequently to be sure that the load remains
securely attached.
NOTE:
Crossbars can be purchased at an authorized
dealer through Mopar® parts.
External racks do not increase the total load
carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the
total occupant and luggage load inside the vehicle,
plus the load on the luggage rack, do not exceed
the maximum vehicle load capacity.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving
your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off
the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting
in personal injury or property damage. Follow
the roof rack cautions when carrying cargo on
your roof rack.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle,
do not exceed the maximum roof rack load
capacity. Always distribute heavy loads as
evenly as possible and secure the load appro
-
priately.
Long loads, which extend over the windshield,
should be secured to both the front and rear of
the vehicle.
Place a blanket or other protection between
the surface of the roof and the load.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners
carefully when carrying large or heavy loads
on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden
upward lift. It is recommended to not carry
large flat loads, such as wood panels or surf
-
boards, which may result in damage to the
cargo or your vehicle.
Load should always be secured to crossbars
first, with tie down loops used as additional
securing points if needed. Tie loops are
intended as supplementary tie down points
only. Do not use ratcheting mechanisms with
the tie loops. Check the straps frequently to be
sure that the load remains securely attached.
CAUTION!
