JL owners are so stupid

That’s a proper beltline.

@Mudflat that's a beautiful rig in fantastic shape. As @JMT once said of his, looks good from afar but far from good :LOL: , that's mine too. But style-wise, nothing touches the TJ, the pinnacle of Jeep thus far. Mine has gone through some morphing over its years in my custody, I built it reasonably well for the terrain in my little corner of Appalachia, then unbuilt it back to as close to stock as I could get it while retaining its appearance. Here's some older shots in various incarnations, sorry (not sorry) to blow up the JL thread with random TJ pictures:

Wow! Thanks. It’s moderately built. It already had the lift, wheels & 33”/12.50R15 tires when I bought it. I got rid of the ugly chrome tube bumpers & side steps, got Smittybilt bumpers, 9,500 pound winch, Pro Comp LED headlights & did some front end work. The 20” KC light bar came off of my previous truck. I also got rid of the terrible stock 3.08 gears & got 4.56 gears, chromoly axles Tru Tracks & new front hubs.
It has really low miles; just about to turn 39,000. It’s main job it to be the dingy that we tow behind the motorhome, but we also like some low risk wheeling.

What soft top is that? OEM or bestop replacement?

I have been trying to find clear windows rear/back for my '05 and it's next to impossible to find.
As far as I know it’s OEM. The Jeep was so nice when I got it 16 months ago that I imagine it spent most if it’s time inside a garage. That’s where it stays now unless we’re our RVing.
Quadratec seems to have a really good selection of tops. You might check there. Bestop seems like the “go to” source for tops & windows. They are the supplier for tops for new Jeeps.

I still don't see the point of half doors. Full doors, no doors, and tube doors I get.

My first TJ '97 I special ordered with half doors and hated them. Every TJ I've had since that one has had full doors. Zipping the window down to reach out of the window (for whatever) was way too much hassle for me.

If they were cheap or I didnt wheel where they would get torn up I'd buy them. Especially when rolling down the window is so easy and it works just fine. :)
