Well, my Jeep is built up pretty good, now. I've decided that, since I'm gonna be hitting some harder trails. I better upgrade the safety aspect. I did some research, and chose to install the Poison Spyder Trail Cage and Heavy Duty Header Bars. The weld-in kit appealed to me more then the Rock Hard bolt-in. I chose an add-on kit over a full replacement kit, because I'm still gonna use my soft top and door surrounds, and this is a lot easier with the trail kit.
The 2 bars on the left, are the HD header bars. These are designed to replace the factory bars, Hoop to windshield. These are 100% bolt-in, and can be used on there own. To the right , is the trail cage kit. This is from the main hoop fwd.
The kit is nice. But, I recommend going over the edges of the lower A-pillars with a flap disc. The edges are a bit sharp. I also took the wheel to the welded ends of the Headers. There was a bit of slag, that I wanted to remove.
The instructions say to, weld the kit in. Then remove the entire cage as 1 piece, to paint. The kit ships, bare steel. I didn't want to do that. I decided to put blue tape, everywhere, there was gonna be a weld, and paint all the pieces. This way I only have to touch up a few areas, with the cage still in.
I've started painting the headers 1st, so they are installed, and ready to go, when I take everything to my buddies place, for welding.
After a couple days, I decided to get the Rear Spreader Bar Kit and the Grab Handles too.
I have put some color and a few pieces. The install will take place next week.
