INSTALLATION NOTES
The Full Cage Kit will work with the factory
Jeep soft top. The sound bar can be modied
(read: ‘cut up’) to t. Duster rear deck covers,
“windjammers” and short style bikini tops will
work. However, “safari” style bikini tops will not
t. Children can ride in the back seat but the
Poison Spyder Full Cage Kit was NOT designed
to accommodate adult passengers in the OE
back seat.
Installation of the Full Cage Kit can take up to 8
hours. This kit requires welding, which should be
done by a certied welder. You will need a friend
or two to assist with the installation. A good set
of Torx bits is required for removal of the factory
cage, including a T-50 “tamper-proof” Torx bit.
IMPORTANT: It is imperative that the top, doors,
seats, plus any other components that are going
to be reinstalled after the cage install be test-
tted BEFORE nal welding of the cage! Poison
Spyder Customs is not liable for tment issues
due to negligent install.
Some of the following photos are from
a TJ cage install. While the procedures
are similar, specic parts shown in
some photos may differ slightly from
the actual YJ version you are installing.
INSTALL PROCEDURE
NOTE: In most cases, the laser-cut notches and
laser-etched assembly marks will eliminate all
guesswork. Regardless, carefully inspect each
part and its placement prior to tacking and nish-
welding. Also, each step should be extrapolated
for both sides, where any procedure is to be
duplicated on both sides of the cage.
