How to Install Smittybilt C-RES2 Cargo Restraint System (97-06 Wrangler TJ) on your Jeep Wrangler

Step 1: Loosely lay center section on vehicle. (The section with the grommets goes towards the rear of the vehicle.) Fig A

Step 2: Once center section is on, begin attaching straps to roll bar. (Do not fully tighten at this time. (Fig B) To connect the strap to buckles, slide the strap through the rear section upward and then back down through the front of it. (Fig C, D)

Step 3: Install rear side buckles (Fig E) onto roll bar. Wrap the Velcro straps around the roll bar in the approximate area where it will be installed. (Fig F) Then secure strap into buckle. (Fig G,H) Note the position of the limited slip buckle (Fig I, J) this should be on the inside of the female buckle to help reduce the strap buckle from moving. 

Step 4: Once all of the rear side buckles are installed you can go ahead and attach them to the male buckles on the net. 

Step 5: Attach the rear bottom corner straps with 3 hooks to the underside of the body tub. (Fig K, L) 

Step 6: Once you have all of the straps on the center section loosely attached, go back and begin to pull all of them tight. 

Step 7: Loosely place one side section on vehicle. Fig N (Note the logo goes towards the rear of the vehicle).  

Step 8: Once section is on, begin attaching straps to roll bar. (Do not fully tighten at this time.) (Fig 0, P) To connect the strap to buckles, slide the strap through the rear section upward and then back down through the front of it. (Fig C, D) 

Step 9: Once all of the straps are loosely installed, position side piece into desired location and then proceed to fully tighten all straps. (Fig Q, R) Repeat on other side. 

Step 10: Once the net is on and all of the straps all pulled tight, install strap clips were needed or desired. These are designed to hold excess strap. 

Installation is now complete. (Fig U)

After vehicle has been driven a few times, go back and retighten straps. They may kettle around roll bar after driving.
