Lock Nuts to clamp the Rear Center Stringer

to the factory rear crossover bar.

At this point, all of the components of the Cage

Kit are installed. Now, go back over every

assembly joint and tighten all fasteners that had

been not been fully tightened in earlier steps.

Note that at this point, the cage is now fully

installed. However you will be disassembling the

entire cage in a later step to paint or powder coat

the components. Before doing that, however,

all remaining factory components, covers, etc.,

should be reinstalled and trimmed to fit in order

to ensure proper fitment BEFORE painting or

powder coating. Some of those steps are briefly

covered next...
40. Use a 9/32” nut driver to reinstall the factory

tweeter speakers and their housings. Be

careful when re-connecting the speaker

wiring.

41. Fold the Windshield up and back into place,

and reinstall the exterior windshield brackets

using a Torx T40 driver bit.

42. Reinstall the driver and passenger doors,

carefully align them and test for fitment

against the cage A-Pillar Assembly and Door

Header Bar Assembly.

43. Locate the driver and passenger side

header bar foam pads that were removed

during initial disassembly. These will fit back

into place on the new Door Header Bars,

however they will need to be trimmed for

clearance around the windshield bar joint, as

shown in the photo below. Use a sharp utility

knife to trim the foam. Remove only a little at

a time to ensure the best fitment. Once the

trimming is finished, snap the foam pads into

place.

44. Locate the driver and passenger side

B-pillar joint foam pads that were removed

during initial disassembly. These will

need to be trimmed to snugly fit around

the components of the new Door Header

Bar Assembly—specifically the plate steel

fabricated bracket where it mates to the

factory B-pillar crossover bar. Compare the

stock foam pad with the trimmed one shown

in the photo below, to get an idea how the pad

must be trimmed to fit.

45. Use a sharp utility knife to cut away the

foam, a little at a time, until the foam pad

snugly fits.
