33. Install the Rear Center Stringer (4-door
models only). If you have not done so already,
you will need to remove the fabric cover and
padding from the rear overhead crossover
bar of the factory cage (ignore the fact that
it is visible in the photo below--you will need
to trim and re-install it later). Note that the
Rear Center Stringer has three bolt holes on
the mounting flange at either end. Disregard
these at this time, simply set the Rear Center
Stringer approximately in to place and move
on to the next step.

34. Install the Front Overhead Assembly. The
Front Overhead Assembly comes with the
Front Center Stringer and Upper Windshield
Bar already welded together into a single
assembly. The three holes at the rearward
mounting flange of the Front Center Stringer
will overlap and align with the three holes in
the forward mounting flange of the previously
-installed Rear Center Stringer, with both
setting on top of the factory B-pillar crossover
bar. Rest the rearward mounting flange in
place then carefully slide both ends of the
Windshield Bar into place simultaneously,
where it joins the Door Header Bar Assembly
at either end.

35. Use a 1/4” hex key to install two (2) supplied
5/16-24 X 1-1/4 Socket Head Cap Screws
into the tube coupler joints at either end of
the Windshield Bar where it meets the Door
Header Bar Assemblies. A soft dead-blow
hammer or rubber mallet may be needed to
make fine adjustments to the tight-fitting joint.
Leave these fasteners slightly loose at this
time.
36. Use a 7/16” drill bit to drill through factory
B-pillar crossover bar, using the existing
holes in the Front and Rear Center Stringer
mounting flanges as your drill guide.

37. Install three (3) supplied 7/16-20 X 2-1/2
Gr8 Hex Head Cap Screws with 7/16 Flat
Washers and 7/16-20 Nylon Insert Lock Nuts
to clamp the Front and Rear Center Stringers
to the factory B-pillar crossover bar. Do not
fully tighten these yet.

20 X 2-1/2 Gr8 Hex Head Cap Screws with
