PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE INSTALLING PRODUCT.

1. If you have a hard top on your vehicle, remove it. (Refer to the factory instructions.) If
you have a soft top on your vehicle, remove it from the front retainer on the windshield

retaining bracket is the bracket that bolts the windshield frame to the dashboard.

front brace. Install the Rugged Ridge front brace covers.
