Installation Instructions
G.E.A.R. Overhead
97-06 Wrangler (Part # 56650xx)
Step 8: Make sure the overhead is straight and then begin to secure, by tightening all of the
hardware. (Early TJ’s front two 3/8” bolts and rear sport bar straps) (Late TJ’s front
three 3/8” bolts and rear sport bar straps.) It may be easier to tighten bolts by
unfastening the front Velcro strap and folding the cover back. (Fig H)Check to make
sure all Velcro straps are secure after tightening all mounting hardware. Installation is
now complete. (Fig I,J)

Step 9: (Late TJ’s only) If you’re using a standard top/bikini and want to utilize the center
strap, attach the included footman loop to the overhead. First determine the best
location; depending on the style it may in the front or the rear. Once you have determined
the best location, hold the footman loop up and mark the two holes. Then drill the two
holes using a ¼ drill bit and attach with included screw and cap-nut. You can either install
it over the G.E.A.R. cover or drill through both the cover and frame, or drill through
the frame and carefully make a small cut in the cover to expose the footman loop.
