PSC trail cage fitment issues.....need help ASAP

[SPYDER]

One of my friends had the PSC trail cage in his jeep but due to some situations he wanted to get rid of it and go back to factory. So he asked me to trade, I obviously jumped at the oportunity. So yesterday we did the swap.

Since our jeeps are obviously different and we all know how good Jeep is at making every jeep the same, it doesn't fit properly. my drivers side sport bar is about a 1/2" too far inward. i can't force it out by hand to line up with the holes. everything else is near perfect. any suggestions on how i can get the holes to line up. im thinking im gonna have to cut all the welds on that side (upper windshield, dash bar and possible the vertical bar) off inorder to get it right and then reweld it all up. but i really don't wanna have to do that, so any help would be great.

can you drill out holes on the mounting to make them fit, or use a jack and 2x4 to make it wider.

good luck.

i ended up using the hi-lift to spread the bars. worked like a charm...ill post some pics when i get it completely welded in.

I saw shawn the other day, I was heading on rt 93 north, he was going south, I think he was gettin off in somerville.

Is he still too busy to hang out?
jk

do you know if he set a wedding date yet?

[SPYDER]

no he isn't going stock, just ditching the cage since the women couldn't see over the dash bar. yeah he is good. not too sure if the date has been set yet or not, but he did say that the next little while was going to be crazy cause they are looking for a new house and getting the wedding stuff planned.
