Looks good! Seems like such a dumb place to run the factory lines, the rear link caught mine and pulled down on it.

Well I got woken up to a nice phone call from FedEx saying that the cages were at the shipping yard. Jumped-up, ran down, there and pick them up.
Good this keeps me busy the next week or two installing two cages.

Well that wasn't to bad. Got it fitted today and will pull it off tomorrow and get it painted this weekend.
Need to set the cross bar a little lower but good for mock up.

Make sure your freedom tops still fit properly after you’ve torqued down the dash and top cross bars.

Nice! I should probably do this... but I'm not looking forward to it. I really hate the bar across the dash like that. I wonder if it would still have some value without it.

Good lookin out.
It was not as bad as I thought. Went together pretty easy.

Be careful you don't tighten the top windshield bar clamps too much or you'll squeeze the windshield and your freedom panels will leak air and water.

Will do. Thanks for the tip.

So cool! One of my favorite mods, and one that you can enjoy while inside the Jeep.

Mine ended up leaking so much I just sold it. I think the wind noise was worse than the water that came in. Drove me up the wall. I had to put 200 mph tape on it just so I could tolerate driving it on the highway.

Well that's the first time I heard this shit. Is this normal or was it the installers fault?....LOL.

Mine caused problems too. Air leaks. Probably water too, but not really much of an issue given where I live. I don’t run the hard top much anyway.

Is it because the bars push the hardtop up?

Don't have one, but from what I have read I think it pulls A Pillars in. Kind of buckling wind shield frame. I could be wrong.
