Step One: Level Jeep (We leveled it after we took the cage out to make more room in the garage)
Step Two: Remove anything you dont want burned to include old cage.
Step Three: Install mounting brackets for B pillar followed by A and C pillars
A Pillar Support (Note: when mounting the bracket to the floor, it is not possible to use the square mounting plate on the underside of the tub without modifying the factory sliders for clearance) Instructions for how to install A Pillar supports is very good.
B Pillar Support (Can only go in one way. Pretty straight forward)
C Pillar Suport (Note: At time of photo, it was not determined which position was the correct one. As it turns out, to line up the bars, it must rotate 180* So that the arch is to the back and towards the inside of the jeep.)
We got the B Pillars and C pillars mocked up along with the B to C tie bars that go along the tub, but I didnt get any pictures of that yet. I will later though for your viewing pleasure. So far what I'm finding, is that the instructions are vague and kind of just say "Assemble Cage starting from the center." Which is less than helpful if you are not able to look at the one drawing you get, with all the pipes labeled, and understand what they want you to do. There has been a lot of trial and error going on with our tack welds. To figure out most of it, we wound up using the images off of the Genright website for the cage to get different angles and better understand what they wanted us to do. Also, in the instructions, the Genright crew is using a Fab Rig that they made so that they can mass produce these things. It is a bunch of angle iron and square tubing that is all set up to make sure everything lines up. Throughout the procedure they tell you to clamp your bars to this rig (That you are supposed to have or build I guess..) Grab a level and use common sense and you can get it lined up just fine w/o the rig though. More to come tonight or tomorrow after we assemble more of the cage. Hopefully we can have it all tacked up and ready for welding tonight so that tomorrow we can finish it.
5 hours down... 10 to 15 to go?
