Check this site out. I have had one for about five years......I started figuring out my redneck trail stirrups so the family can load easier. $30 stirrups $10 belts for two retractable steps in.
I'll drill the plate an add a connection to the seat frame.

Could be worse ... I have more than enough ducks... large or small and some on the wall lolI never even left my apartment and I got DUCKED for the very first time! I feel so violated and honored at the same time. Now I know what Monica Lewinsky must have felt like.

Yes!!!! I took my top down last Saturday, already had the mesh top on under. Was determined to be topless until it got cold....Removed the Rampage top (I run it with no windows) and replaced it with a mesh top. Love it! lets just enough sun through but not so much to fry my bald head... LOL
That looks like the winning pic for the June Ride Of The Month contest. Enter soon.Got er’ muddy!

I thought I saw you when you parked. I took a pic.Drove to work topless today.
Since all my neighbors have BLM signs in their yards, I thought I would do my part to show my support.

I've had it since October, no issues. Had to use it for recovery a few times, and here recently I've used it to pull out about 50 Indian hawthorn bushes around the neighborhood. 2 or 3 bushes held on more than the winch could pull, motor didn't burn out or anything. The synthetic rope it came with is showing some wear, but I've basically used it 50+ times already so maybe that's normal.How long have you had the winch for? I never heard of them before pulling the trigger but it had a lot of good reviews on Amazon. The lift kit turned out great btw. I have a similar setup in terms of height and tire size and it’s done everything I’ve needed it to so far.
You should probably try parking in the hot sun, unlatching the header, and work to stretch it further and get a better seal so the header doesn't warp like that permanently. Then once it's sealed right, leave it latched for at least several days moving it out to the hot sun during the day to get it to stretch out. Mine wanted to bend like that also but after working it for awhile I managed to get the header laying relatively flat. I wish Bestop offered a non plastic header that doesn't bend... I'd definitely pay extra for it.Fitted my new Bestop Supertop NX (to replace original 2001 factory soft top, still surprisingly OK but looking faded and stitching starting to fray).
Not sure how you guys make it take 3-5 hours (which some claim on YouTube) - it was 2 hours dead for me and the boy.
All good except as I had been warned, it was super tight even in what for us is very warm and sunny weather (75°F). It fits OK and there are no gaps but the header does seem to be flatter than the top of the windshield - it’s up at the ends and down in the middle (see photos). Almost like the ends are sitting on something (which they aren’t) or the header needs to bend (maybe it will in time?)
Love the twill (matches the BMW...) and the tinted windows.
And yes, it has the dreaded logo.

Hope your Jeep shop knows what they are doing and not just how to take your money.What did I do today? Nearly drove it off the road. Experienced death wobble for the very first time at 70 miles per hour. Holy Sh!t that was scary. Bought this ‘03 in Feb as a toy and figured I’d overhaul everything in my spare time and at my leisure. Well, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the TJ is now my DD and I don’t have the luxury of time anymore; can’t just leave it sitting in my garage as I take my time. So....off to the local Jeep shop for some repairs. I’m pretty much going to drop it off tomorrow and say replace it all. Everything is original so I suspect it all needs replacing.
