    Installing my 20 year old soft top

    I told the guy in the shop that I wanted it to look beefy, as big as I could go without modifying. He said I could do spacers instead, so they aren't bigger tires, but they stick out more and look bigger. I told him what rims I want, and tires. He said altogether I was looking at around...

    Installing my 20 year old soft top

    I want new tires and rims, but most people tell me to leave it factory original and not modify it. I wanted bigger tires, but I may just go with spacer and have wider as opposed to bigger. And the rims I want are about $3000 so it'll take some saving. I'm try to not buy a lot of little stuff so...

    Installing my 20 year old soft top

    I will. So far I've only bought decals and fixed a tranny leak. I'm saving for tires and rims but keep seeing other pieces I want. I'm trying to hold out! Rims and spacers for my tires would make a huge difference. I'm not looking to modify but I hate the sissy looking car tires. I want...

    Installing my 20 year old soft top

    Not rotten at all, but it needs to thread onto the bar, and the guy at 4x4 parts said in should have something solid in the end of the window to thread into the bar. Mine has the loop at the bottom but the solid piece isn't inside. I picked up a second hand soft top today for parts so hopefully...

    Installing my 20 year old soft top

    She's spotless! You could eat off the motor! Supposedly never seen winter, and only rarely driven by one owner. Never off road. I've got big plans for her!

    Installing my 20 year old soft top

    Bought one today! Unfortunately, the bottom of the window is missing the solid strip in the bottom so I can't thread the tailgate bar on. Guess I'll keep searching for missing parts. Lol. As it goes, I've found the window frames, and the rear window is at least attached at the sides so it's a...

    Installing my 20 year old soft top

    Nope, this is my first jeep and I was told all parts were there so I assumed they were. Awesome, thank you, now I can get the parts since its calling for rain the next few days. Lol.

    I'm the second owner of my 20 yr old TJ. Also my daily driver, so I don't go off road, but would love to. My husband has a fully aerobatic airplane from 1940. When I asked why he doesn't do aerobatics he replied "just because your Grandma used to do cartwheels, doesn't mean she should now". I...

    Installing my 20 year old soft top

    Over the weekend I installed my soft top, for the first time. I own a 20 yr old jeep, which came with both hard top and soft top. After we installed the soft top (which, according to YouTube is easy, but is definetly not) there are very large gaps around both windows. Is this a simple adjustment?

    My new (old) 1997 Jeep TJ

    Okay, they would be perfect! Black vinyl is what was in my last car and I could just wipe it with a wet cloth to get the dirt and dog hair off, but sadly, I live in Canada. What's $300 to you is $466 after shipping for me. Maybe my husband will buy me them for Christmas!?

    My new (old) 1997 Jeep TJ

    I have Neoprene now! Ugly grey ones! I just want some basic black ones, although with a white dog this may not be my best choice. Lol. Thanks for all the input. I'll check it out!

    Hello guys and gals this is my first Jeep purchase it's a 1997

    I just bought a '97 as well! So excited to see how awesome she looks with her half doors and top off! Mines red, but comes with the soft top and half doors too. Unfortunetly, it won't be spring until I see this. :(

    My new (old) 1997 Jeep TJ

    I think she's a little plain. Does anyone know a site that has decals, seat covers, and spare tire covers? I've been searching but am not sure where to buy. Pricing seems to vary a lot! I don't want cheap crap, but I don't want to overpay either. Spare tire covers seem to go from $50-$250...
