52. Once all of the covers, top and doors are in

place, check for fitment anywhere the newly

installed cage is near to any OEM component.

If any further adjustments are needed, make

them at this time.

53. Remove the top, covers, and all of the cage

components in order to paint or powder coat.

54. Paint or powder coat the components of

the kit in the color of your choice. If painting

yourself, careful preparation will make a big

difference in the quality and longevity of your

paint job, even using “rattle can” aerosol

paints. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the

components with solvent or de-greaser, then

make sure all residue is removed. Even if

you use cheap paint, try to use a good quality

primer. “Etching” primers are best to use on

bare, unpainted metal. Allow it to properly dry

before painting, and between paint coats.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT POWDER COAT the

mating surfaces of the interlocking tube clamps!

The thickness of the powder coat on these

surfaces will make the components much more

difficult to install. If powder coating, mask these

surfaces off prior to coating, then use a color-

matched paint to protect them prior to installation.

55. Re-Install the Cage Kit by repeating the

previous installation steps. You may wish

to tape or cover the finished surfaces of the

cage components to protect the finish during

installation.

Congratulations, you have completed installation

of your JK Bolt-Together Trail Cage!
