INSTALL PART 2:

Now that I had the front windshield folded down and the hard top semi-removed I had much more room to install the new M.O.R.E side bars. Before installing these into the Jeep I first had to attach the small mounting brackets that was recently attached to the factory windshield support bar. These brackets are designed so that the factory bolt in roll-cage design remains consistent. I actually did run into a problem when it was time to remove these brackets from the factory windshield support bars. Jeep thought they would be funny by using some odd-ball torx style bolt which had a slightly different tool requirement to remove. Instead of rushing down to my local Jeep dealership which is about 45 miles away, I grabbed some big vise-grips, clamped them down really hard, grabbed my good friend Mr. Sledge-Hammer and with a couple hits, the bolts loosened up and I was on my way.  I'm sure this wasn't the best method of removing those bolts but in a time of need I am prepared to adapt. None the less the bolts were removed and replaced with grade 8 hardware when these brackets were installed in the new M.O.R.E. side bars.

It was now time to install the new side bars, we'll not completely install the bars but put them in place and hand tighten the bolts for now since other roll-cage addition are going to also be installed. See picture below.

INSTALL PART 3:

Next step included installing the cross bar and sliding the two optional spreader bars onto this bar for later installation. I placed the cross bar with two spreader bars into position and connecting them to the left and right side bars. M.O.R.E. designed the side bars with easy slide over and bolt-down cross bar mounting tubes. This was really easy and included sliding the bar over top of the side bars cross bar mounting tubes. I then drilled and thru-bolted the cross bars down on each side as instructions indicated. See pictures below.
