Ride-Tech does a really nice job with the hardware they supply for the Tiger Cage however, I just wanted to
use ARP hardware because it looks so much nicer then the supplied bolts.

Yep, send me the part numbers, please.

As most of my friends know I am a little bit ADD and I tend to over think thinks and organize projects before I start especially when I have someone coming over to help me.

Step 1 is to get the dog bed and lay all the hardware out by size.



Step 2 well I didn't plan for this and a trip to the local Sears hardware was necessary. Needed to get a wire wheel for the bench grinder so I could clean up the clamps as they oxidized a little bit over the last couple years.



First step was to put the trunk bars in which went fairly well.



Oh that's Mike working in the inside of the car. We figured it was my car so I should be the one inside the trunk.





We also installed the Kicker 6 x 9 Speakers.



Since I did all 12 point hardware on Syborg I wanted to do 6 point ARP's throughout this car.

We also installed a new package tray with a slightly different look.



Uniting the hoop to the down bars is pretty straight forward. Just make sure you install the clamps on the correct side as they are side specific and there is a left and right half that must go together.



Quick reference is the "T" faces up.



In order for the clamps to look nice the lower clamps are a tight to the body which take a little extra time to tighten.



Door Bars installed and cage is in.

Many years ago I purchased this heel plate from www.autovation.net and had plans to put it in the truck. However, it never made it in so now it's going
in 2nd chance. I will be dropping the car off at the local interior shop and have them make floor mats with these built into them.



I also suffed the rear seats back in the car just to get them off my garage floor.

That has to be the least horrific bolt-in cage install we've ever heard of. Everything looks like it fits nice and snug and no fitment issues!

Lookin' real good Marrtay!

[Juicypop]

Looking good!

Moving to the rear of the car.

The first and second trunk seal both sucked. So I took a gamble and bought a third version and it fits perfectly. It doesn't even need glue to stay in place and the best news is I can close the trunk without having to slam it.
