Bed Mount Quiver Installation – Ford BoxLink Cleat Adaptation
Bed Mount Quiver Installation – Ford BoxLink Cleat Adaptation
Tools & Hardware Needed
• (4x) Flat washers (¼” x 1¼”)
• Mini Ratchet or 4mm Allen Key if using Riversmith BoxLink hardware.
• Phillips screwdriver or T30 Torx bit (depending on BoxLink screw type)
Note: For added stability when using a 4-Banger River Quiver with a Bed Mount, a third center mount can be installed using a direct-drill method. This optional installation point provides additional support, especially for rough roads.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Remove BoxLink Cleat
• Locate the BoxLink cleat inside your truck bed.
• Using a screwdriver or Torx bit, fully unbolt and remove the cleat from the wall.
• If a tie-down attachment is present on the BoxLink plate, remove it completely.
Step 2: Attach Bed Mount Quiver Bracket
• Align the Riversmith Bed Mount bracket over the BoxLink plate.
• The top center hole on the bracket should align with the smaller oval slot on the BoxLink plate.
• The lower center hole should be centered in the bottom of the T-shaped opening.
• Note: This may differ from the factory orientation, but it’s okay to flip the plate if needed.
• Insert the (4) M6 bolts through the bracket and the BoxLink mounting surface.
• From the back side, place a washer and a nylon lock nut on each bolt.
• The washer helps fill the void in the larger T-shaped opening.
• Evenly tighten the bolts with your wrench and driver.
• Be sure the bracket is snug but not over-tightened.
Step 3: Reinstall BoxLink Cleat
• Position the BoxLink cleat, aligning it with the bracket cutout and original mounting holes.
• Reinstall the cleat using the original BoxLink screws, securing it through the bracket face into the truck wall.
• Tighten until fully secure.
Step 4: Confirm Fit and Torque
• Confirm that both the bracket and the cleat are flush and tight.
• Apply light pressure to the Riversmith mount — it should feel solid and unmoving.
Step 5: Install Truck Bed Mount River Quiver
• Follow the installation instructions provided in the Truck Bed Mount River Quiver Installation Manual to complete the process.
