Question about installing hard dog roll bar

[tinman831]

I'm currently in the middle of installing my hard dog roll bar and so far, it's been a PITA. So many little steps. I'm just curious as to the order of drilling the holes for the mounting plates. Bethania's instructions say to drill the holes for the backup plates first and then drill the front plates. To me, it seems like it'd make more sense to drill the holes for the front plates first, bolt them tight as to pull the bar as far rearward as it'll go, and then drill the holes for the rear plates. Does the order really matter when installing the bar?

Definitely drill the holes near the seat belt towers first. Once you get those in, the rear ones are easy.

bethania supplies the best instructions EVAR!!! Totally useless gobbledegook. They should be lined up and shot! Can you tell that I recently installed one?

I managed to finish my install after about 8 hours worth of manual labor. The instructions are crap. Gary told me they were crap when I picked up the bar. I thought he was joking. Boy was I surprised.
