It seems simple enough to install, but I am interested to know how difficult it is (or isn't) to get the main bar into the vehicle (hardtop car). Not to secure it to the car, just to get it in. Specifically interested in the bolt in type as it is taller than the weld in due to floor mounting location.
Do the front seats need to be removed? What is the proceedure? Whats the hardest part about getting it in? Any estimates on the time required just to put it into the car?
Thanks

Getting the main hoop in is no problem at all....just gotta manipulate it. Make sure the front seats are out though. Real easy.
I have installed 4 Wolfe bars (4 and 6pt). I would say the bolt in 6pt would be about an 8 hour job making sure everything is perfect, double checking, etc...

Will a bolt-in roll cage pass tech for a car in the 11's?
I am mainly concerned with Cecil County, Englishtown and ATCO..

JFYI, there is a big diference in a welded in bar and a bolt in. I have the Wolfe bolt in bar, and had it bolted in for awhile, except for the holes that had to be drilled through the frame.
I got to thinking that if I'm going to drill holes in my car, then I might as well weld it in. So I did, and there is a huge difference. It is much tighter, less rattles and squeeks when going over bumps and railroad tracks.
The hoop goes in easy enough, after you take out the seats. Dont forget to fold the carpet back, which will require removal of some trim. Still no big deal.
I put a 4 point bolt in, in, in around 8 hours. That included going to the store for a drill bit and making sure everything was exactly perfect and stuff....
