1. Begin by peeling off the non-adhesive section of the foil
2. Next, apply the griptape to the deck, starting from one end and progressing upwards
3. Use an Allen key or a screwdriver to scratch the griptape
4. Employ a box knife to trim away the excess griptape, ensuring you cut from below at approximately a 45° angle
5. Sand the edges with the rough side of the leftover griptape
6. Create holes in the griptape for the bolts by using the Allen key or a screwdriver
7. Insert the bolts into the prepared holes
8. Affix the trucks onto the four bolts
9. Screw on the locking nuts and tighten them following a cross-diagonal pattern
10. Replicate the process for the remaining truck
