Question 4 point roll bar diy?

have a leather covered rollbar on order, should get it right before the meet up in orlando florida.
on a scale of one to ten with ten being the hardest, what do you think is it a do it your self or do i let someone else do it? its only a 4 point roolbar. sometimes i like to do my own work less damage to the car

Technically it's rated a 3, since you need to remove seats, if it's the techequipment rollbar. Only 4 bolts, so can't be too bad right???
There is a physical rating, which I give it an 8....Very demanding getting the bar in place so that you can thread the bolts. Overall, if you do it by yourself, set aside 8 hours. With two people, 4 - 6 hours. The second person is very helpful since they will be able to push on the bar to line it up for the thread points and the other person has two hands available to deal with threading of the bolt. If you do it by yourself, you only have one hand available for each task that must be executed simultaneously....

I installed the Tequipment rollbar in my C2 with the help of a friend. It is a 2-man job just getting the bar in the car. I cannot imagine doing it alone. Rockitman's FAQ in renntech.org is great.
