SAFARI SPORT RACK
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WAR 875
’04 – ‘06 Jeep Unlimited
Read all instructions before proceeding.
The suggested weight capacity is 400 lbs., with weight distributed evenly over the entire area of the rack. If severe
off road conditions are prevalent, because of side sway on severe side hill driving conditions, capacity should not
exceed 150 lbs. Due to welding, handling, shipping, etc., the front and rear legs may need to be “tweaked” slightly
(bent in or out) to fit correctly. A small amount of twisting will not hurt the bar. Be careful not to scratch the
paint as you install the legs.
NOTE: The nut plates on some Jeep windshields may come loose when both bolts are
removed at the same time. Loosen both bolts, remove one, install bracket with one
bolt, spin out of the way and remove other bolt. Try to keep one bolt engaged
through the windshield at all times.
1. Remove the 2 screws on the upper outboard side of the drivers side windshield hinge. Repeat for the
passenger side hinge as well. New screws are provided.
2. Assemble the front light bar by inserting windshield mounting brackets onto the short light bracket hoop and
inserting snapper pins to hold in place. The light tabs should be facing forward and the windshield mounting
brackets towards the rear of the vehicle.
3. Place short mounting hoop onto windshield. Install screws through the mounting hoop brackets.
4. Assemble the two halves of the Basket using the four 1 _” X 7/16” bolts provided. The bolts will fit
very tightly and may have to be screwed through the holes. This helps ensure that the basket will not sag
in the middle over time. Once assembled, position the WP plate centered across the joints on each side,
drill pilot holes, and attach using the self taping screws provided.
5. Lift the basket into place on top of the vehicle. Slide basket mounting tabs onto the windshield mounting
hoop. Do not mark holes for drilling at this time.
6. Assemble the rear Light Bar by inserting the rear mounting legs into the rear light bar securing with the
snapper pins.
7. Slide rear mounting hoop into basket mounting tabs on rear of basket. Position the rear hoop so that the
mounting brackets are even with the top of the body tub and the rear edge of the rear bracket line up with
the vertical body seam. Make sure the rear reinforcing plates fit next to the inside body seams. Mark
where the holes are to be drilled and then remove the rear hoop.
8. Drill 3/8" holes where marked. Reinstall the rear hoop. Install provided bolts through the body tub using
the reinforcing plates on inside of the tub and tighten loosely. Use of the bottom bolt on the rear
mounting brackets is optional to provide extra rigidity and does require installation of the backing plate
and nut from beneath the vehicle.
9. Make sure basket is centered side to side. Using basket mounting tabs as a guide, drill 5/16" holes
through front and rear mounting hoops. Install 5/16” X 2” bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts, and
then tighten.
10. Tighten rear hoop body mounting bolts! After a test drive, re-check tightness of all bolts and you are done!
