Installation Time

The bag is designed to fit between the front and rear vertical bars of the factory sports bar. The back part of the bag rests on the wheel well. Because the distance between the bars differs between the short wheelbase TJ and the long wheelbase Unlimited models, make sure you have the correct bag before installing. When correctly installed the bag will not interfere with the driver’s view.

For demonstration purposes strap instillation is shown around a clear cup where the sports bar will be during instillation.

The bag has 3 attachment points. The side with 2 attachment points will attach to the sports bar directly behind the front seat. The single strap will go around the rear bar near the seat belt mechanism. 


1. The bag can be installed with the top up or down. For this instillation the window has been removed for ease of access to instillation points. When installed the zipped top of the bag will be where the red line in the picture is located. Lay bag between bars in the location marked.


2. Starting at the top attachment point next to the driver’s seat secure the first strap as shown in the pictures below. Make sure the straps do not wrap around or interfere with the operation of seat belts. 





3. Repeat attachment point instillation at remaining 2 points. 



4. Adjust the straps so that bag is securely in place and rests on top of the wheel well.

5. Check to make sure that straps do not interfere with seat belt operation.
