how did you mount it up there?

i used stick on hook and loop patches from home depot. we will see how strong they are but I tried to pull it off after setting it there and the patches started to come off before the hook and loop let go.

Add to the list…picked up their metal insta trunk so I could lock up stuff when I was taking the jeep to the office. Then I got their rear seat, cause I wanted headrests for the kids.

Cool now I can take the kids to school and lockup my laptop…safety and security.

Nope - their rear seat and locking trunk are not compatible with each other, nor is it documented on any product or instruction page.

why are Bestop the way they are? Who hurt them? I might actually write them a letter. Something somebody can physically hand to the CEO to ask "what the fuck are we actually doing here?"

I remain beholden to the antiquated idea that most people actually still do care. I'll probably have to admit that I was wrong with my last dying breaths.

Those work great. I used them to hang my small kids on the door when they pissed me off. It was legal back then and didn't make a mess like duct tape.
P.S. I still used that to cover their mouths.

GA heat…I did the same. Works great in the cooler months, but the adhesive will melt and will fall.

Dang it. Well, we'll see how it goes. If the adhesive lets go I can get end caps for the amp case with screw holes.

Might be TJ related on Tuesday when my wife gets the results of a biopsy (sell my Jeep to pay medical bills). I just went through a Cancer scare when I tested positive for colon cancer. Everything removed and positive results. She's been having issues for 3 years and wouldn't listen to me about having surgery before bad stuff gets worse. Yesterday a biopsy showed Ovian tumors and the doctors were concerned. STRESS!
p.s. Sorry to down the forum. I have no other friends/outlets. It's funny how much priorities change with life's issues.

Man, you guys have been going through it lately, Boog. Good luck on this one.

Best of luck Boog, we've had our fair share of life in the last year but it's all been working out.

Washed the Jeep yesterday to take it for my state inspection at 3pm (12 miles away). Half way there they were doing road work on the highway and traffic was backed up for 3 miles. I took a back road that was 3 miles of gravel. Everyone else knew the shortcut too. Made it there on time and my mechanic pointed out his sign with the new hourly rates.
p.s. Stopped by the car wash when he finished filling out the new decal.

Fixed (at least after checking with a test drive) the leaking oring of the sensor of my new SYE.

Also began removing bolts for swapping the front bumper. Going to let bottom two bolts soak a little while longer...

I closed on my house today, and the realtor i used gave me a $100 Amazon gift card. I'm using that to buy the polk audio DB6502/462 speaker package as part of the sound system upgrade I'm doing.
