I just took my soft top off and it was in way worse shape than I realized. Then again, not bad for an almost eight year old Pavement Ends budget top.

What kind of shape is it in? Where is it located? One on CL did contact me back and I'm going to look at it tomorrow near Englewood, but I have no idea of condition.

Hey, does anyone have an suggestions on where to find a TJ hard top in Colorado? I've tried Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace for the greater Denver/Colorado Springs area and didn't find much (and what I found I never got a response from the seller). I'm unfortunately in the situation where I...

I wish. Unfortunately, I have house repairs to do thanks to all the hail storms.

I believe that KennethS is expressing disappointment that the hard top is a 2003-2006 instead of a 1997-2002, which has a different connector for the wiper and defrost and lacks the vents behind the window required for 1997-2002 TJs. In 2003 the vents were moved to the tailgate, so while this...

If you're talking about the Rainbow Falls down near Westcreek, I've run all the trails there a bunch of times and Quarry (FS 350.B) and the Flake Rd trail are the only sections that pose any challenge. It is an OHV park, so I normally only run those trails in the winter months, as the summer...

I'm running a similar one to that, since when the previous owner swapped in hyline fenders some components got shifted around and running the stock overflow tank no longer became an option (and their solution was a poor one). It works fine, but you'll want to keep in mind that the tubing used...

I got all the screws back in and it is an amazing difference. For the life of me I cannot figure out why they had all the screws missing, but I'm glad I'm not running it that way anymore and losing my mind from the random squeaks and rattles.

I got in a bunch of interior screws from DeadJeeps to replace all the missing ones in my TJ to hopefully cut down on all the squeaks and rattles. By my estimate about 70% of them are missing, so it seems promising.

I have those Smittybilt mirrors. You can see the mounts in my avatar, and my full doors don't get anywhere close to touching them. With that said, the mirrors themselves are just okay and not of the highest quality, but that's to be expected for the price.

Exact same thing with mine and 35s - I have to put my shoulder into it open and even more so to get it to close, including lifting it at the end to clear the latch. Pretty annoying.

Dorman 924-704 - Ignition Switch Actuator Standard Ignition US294 - Ignition Switch This video gives an excellent step-by-step of the process:

Replaced my ignition switch and ignition switch actuator after my Jeep nearly left me stranded at the office. Pretty easy replacement, and I wasn't sure about replacing the ignition switch but did it anyway just because. I didn't realize how sloppy the detents were on the old switch until I felt...

I bought mine because of the mods the previous owners had done, though I wish whoever did some of the electrical had been done a better job. It wasn't terrible, but as a recovering electrical engineer, it was far from great and nowhere near what I would have considered acceptable.

Thanks for the idea, as I probably need to do something like that myself. My Smittybilt bumper and swing out only touches the bottom snubber and wiggles entirely too much at the top for my taste.
