INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing a Poison Spyder
Customs Cage Lower A-Pillar Kit for your Jeep
TJ. The Poison Spyder fabricated Lower A-Pillar
makes it easy for home fabricators to design
a cage around the TJ’s factory dash, where a
full tube-to-the-oor A-Pillar is not possible.
Installation does require specialized skills and
tools, such as welding. If you are not condent
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.
PARTS LIST
Please check your packages immediately upon
arrival to ensure that everything listed is included,
and to check for damage during shipping. If
anything is missing or damaged, call Poison
Spyder at [phone] as soon as possible.
