Installing
the OR Fab Bolt-In
Sport Cage |
|
I
wanted some
extra protection
on the trail,
so I decided
to install
a full
cage roll
bar in
my 92 Wrangler
project vehicle.
Since
I
don’t
have
access
to
a
welder
(and
if
I
did,
I
don’t
know
how
to
weld)
I
decided
to
go
with
a
bolt-in
sport
cage
kit.
I
researched
a
few
brands
and
decided
to
go
with
the OR
Fab
kit.
The OR
Fab bolt-in
sport cage
kit includes
two main support
bars that
attach to
the stock
roll bar and
a cross member
that connects
the two. Each
of the bars
is powder
coated in
gloss black
and ready
to install. |
|
My
first step in
the install
process was
removing the
stock side bars
that run from
the roll bar
to the windshield.
Take care to
save the connecting
bolts and the
threaded inserts
from the stock
bars—you’ll
need these for
the new cage.
Next,
remove
the
triangular
windshield
brackets
connecting
the
windshield
to
the
dash
and
the
mounting
screws
from
each
side
of
the
dash. |
Once
this is done,
find the threaded
inserts from
the stock side
bars and place
them inside
the two main
support bars
of the new
cage. You’ll
probably have
to pound them
in with a hammer.
When the inserts
are in place,
line up the
holes on the
sides of the
new cage with
the stock inserts
and bolt them
in place.
With
the
stock
inserts
securely
in
place,
bolt
the
driver’s
side
of
the
new
cage
to
the
stock roll
bar.
Use
the
stock
connecting
bolts
you
saved
from
the
original
side
bars
to
mount
the
new
cage.
Now
you
should
be
able
to
line
up
the
holes
on
the
front
cage
mounts
to
the
existing
holes
in
the
dash.
With
the
holes
aligned
properly,
mount
the
new
cage
to
the
dash
with
the
supplied
hardware.
|
 |
With
one side complete,
attach the cross
member to the
driver’s
side cage bar
and begin installing
the passenger
side bar.
When
the
passenger
side
bar
is
installed,
bolt
the
cross
member
to
each
side.
The
last
step
is
to
bolt
the
main
cage
bars
to
the
windshield.
Use
the
supplied
hardware
to
attach
the
bars
to
the
stock
side
bar
mounting
holes. |
At
this point you’re
done, unless
you order one
of the additional
accessories
for this kit. OR
Fab does
offer two additional
options including
streamer bars
that run from
the cross member
to the stock
roll bar and
a dash bar that
spans the lower
portion of the
cage, just above
the dash. Get

Sport Cage Here.
