    Hardtop hoist recommendations

    Which scaffolding did you get? I think I want to go this route. I don't know why, I just don't love the hoist idea. Also, is it pretty easy to "slide the top off the Jeep"? I have girl-muscles.

    DIY Hardtop Hoist

    Do you have a photo of this in your set-up? I'd love to build a hoist around this!

    Bull Dawg LJ Hardtop Initial Impressions

    I am very happy with mine too. I went with a standard top, no sunroof, no defroster, no roof rails. I figured I want the top OFF in the summer, and in the winter, I don't need sunroof or roof rails, so went basic. The only upgrade I popped for was the yellow custom interior, to go with my...

    Bull Dawg LJ Hardtop Initial Impressions

    I just got this hard top installed today. I love it. I'll snap some photos soon, and get them posted here. I just got the very simple version, no sunroof, no roof rack. But I love the side windows that open! Glad I made the leap.

    2006 LJ — can't get the rear seat to flip up

    Is there some sort of latch lever that I'm missing? Or how does it come loose from the lower latch points??

    2006 LJ — can't get the rear seat to flip up

    I've tried just about everything. I'm trying to remove the rear seat in my 2006 LJ, and I can't get it out. The lever at the top of the seat will fold the seat back forward, no problem. But then I can't get the lower seat back to flip forward. I don't see any latch or anything. Everything...

    Jeep Wrangler TJ LED Headlight Upgrade Options

    ^^ Just ordered this. I'm intimidated by the install process (not really a do-it-yourselfer), but thought while I was changing the headlights, I might as well change the harness too. Good luck me!

    CalTrend seat covers

    I'm *so* torn about these. My brain says to get the DuraPlus, because I have 2 dogs that will be regular passengers (nearly every time I go anywhere), and I live in the Seattle area where it rains all the time. So the waterproof and toughness of the DuraPlus seems like the right thing to do...

    Help with step / rock sliders for 2006 LJ

    I need some help selecting a mod that will help me get into my Jeep. I'm vertically challenged, and I can hardly get into my Jeep now — as soon as I install my seat risers, I'm afraid it will be a lost cause. I *will* be taking my Jeep off-road, although "rock crawling" is probably not the...

    Roll Bar Pad Replacement

    So..Has anyone found a place to buy a nice looking replacement that would fit an LJ? I just bought my first Jeep, and the roll bar pad covers are ripped. I've looked at the Jeep parts sites that I know about, and am having a hard time finding replacements to fit an LJ. Anyone found these?

    My first Jeep 2006 LJ (looking for hardtop recommendations and half doors)

    GOOD point. I didn't even think of this (I'm new, and NOT mechanically inclined!). If I had to guess, I'd guess it never had a hard top. This is based on...nothing. I'll investigate. Great info though, so thanks! My big challenge is that I live in Seattle (think, RAIN), and I don't...

    My first Jeep 2006 LJ (looking for hardtop recommendations and half doors)

    I just bought my first Jeep, earlier this week. It's a 2006 Rubicon LJ, with 88k miles, automatic on 33s. A buddy of mine pointed me to this forum. I'm glad to be here, so much good information! My LJ only has a soft top, and I'll love to get a hard top for it. Any recommendations? Also...
