INSTALLATION INSTRUC

TIO

Thank you for purchasing a Poison Spyder

Customs Cage Lower A-Pillar Kit for your Jeep

TJ. The Poison Spyder fabricated Lower A-Pillar

makes it easy for home fabricators to design

a cage around the TJ’s factory dash, where a

full tube-to-the-floor A-Pillar is not possible.

Installation does require specialized skills and

tools, such as welding. If you are not confident

in your mechanical skills, please seek the help of

a professional to perform the installation. Please

read through these entire instructions before

proceeding with installation.

PARTS LIST
Please check your packages immediately upon

arrival to ensure that everything listed is included,

and to check for damage during shipping. If

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This Kit is intended to be integrated into a more

complete cage, either of your own design or

Poison Spyder’s Trail Cage or Full Cage Kit.

These Notes do not cover the rest of your cage

install. It is imperative that the installation, and

the rest of the cage design and fabrication, are

done by a professional fabricator/welder.
1. Clean ALL bare metal pieces provided in the

kit, using a clean rag and brake cleaner. This

will ensure an easier, cleaner installation and

better welds later in the installation.

2. Weld the gusset seam on each of the Lower

A-Pillars. This seam was left un-welded so

that you may weld it to match the weld style

of the rest of your cage. For instance, if you

are TIG welding your cage, you would likely

prefer to have your own TIG weld in such a

highly visible spot as this.

3. Park vehicle on a level surface and set

the emergency brake. Remove existing

cage components, plastic covers, or any

other equipment that will be in the way. Use

welding blankets to protect the dash and

interior of the Jeep from weld splatter.

4. Along the front of the door jamb, there are

three Torx bolts positioned in a vertical line,

going into the firewall. Remove all three

bolts from both sides.

6. Install the Lower A-Pillars L&R. Bolt each

Lower A-Pillar into place using the three Torx

bolts you removed during in the previous

step. Note that once installed, the Lower

A-Pillars will NOT be oriented perpendicular

to the Jeep. They will angle slightly inward.

Be sure to test-fit the doors for proper closing,

before proceeding.
