Thank you for purchasing a Poison Spyder Full
Cage Kit for your Jeep CJ-7. Poison Spyder’s
innovative Lazer-Fit technology provides for the
easiest, fastest installation of any aftermarket full
cage kit on the market. Installation does require
specialized skills and tools, such as welding. If
you are not confident in your mechanical skills,
please seek the help of a professional to perform
the installation. Please read through these entire
instructions before proceeding with installation.
CHECK YOUR PACKAGES
Please check your packages immediately upon
arrival to ensure that everything listed is included,
and to check for damage during shipping. Use
the diagram and Parts List on the next page to
identify each part. Tubular components are laser-
etched with the identification numbers shown
(plate components are not marked) Note that
the parts as depicted in the drawing might not
exactly match the actual part in shape, length,
bends, etc. If anything is missing or damaged,
call Poison Spyder at (951) 849-5911 as soon as
possible.
NOTE: In addition to the parts supplied in the kit,
you will need to source your own hardware to
bolt the cage in. In some cases you may be able
to re-use the OE hardware, such as at the B- and
C-Pillar Mount Plates, if you have a factory bar.
At the least, you will need an additional (8) 3/8”
(dia.) bolts, nuts and washers, for the A-Pillar
Mount Plates. The length will vary, depending
on your installation. Use only quality, Grade 8
hardware and lock nuts.
TOOLS NEEDED
• Mechanic’s tool set
• Ratchet straps
• Dead-blow hammer
• Measuring tape & carpenter’s square
• Brake cleaner & shop rags
• Welder and proper welding equipment
• Protective welding blankets
INSTALLATION NOTES
The Full Cage Kit will work with the factory Jeep
soft top. Duster rear deck covers, “windjammers”
and short style bikini tops will work. However,
“safari” style bikini tops will not fit. 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 certified welder. You will need a
friend or two to assist with the installation.
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-
fitted BEFORE final welding of the cage! Poison
Spyder Customs is not liable for fitment issues
due to negligent install.
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 finish-
welding. Also, each step should be extrapolated
for both sides, where any procedure is to be
duplicated on both sides of the cage.
