Out of the blue I got a safety recall yesterday from Mopar for the clutch interlock switch on my '06 TJ. Being a natural skeptic I am naturally skeptical. The recall is not in the form of a letter in an envelope like we've gotten in the past from Ford, Honda, Jayco, etc. Instead it's one of...

Bestop sunrider has a hinge where it opens. That hinge is apparently called a pivot knuckle and a search shows some chatter on JK forums about the part failing. Well I have a 2006 TJ and can't find a replacement specifically for my old girl, and Bestop customer service is just not getting back...

I bought a Bestop Supertop NX squareback about two weeks ago directly from Bestop and it's finally installed. When placing the order I saw the option to buy the top installed. Now I'm not an idiot but I am alone out here in the middle of nowhere, and on top of that I'm not a spring chicken...

I have a question for those of you who have purchased a complete Bestop top. Right now the TJ has a hardtop and I want to put a soft top on for summer. Bestop is having a $100 off sale until June 1st so I think I'm going to strike while the iron is hot, so to speak, and buy a square back top...

I pass by this LJ nearly every day. It's been on the lot for maybe a month (?). At first sight it's a nice Jeep but it's what my ex-wife would refer to as a "hundred footer". Looks good from a hundred feet away but less so close up. Hardtop, automatic, 135,000 miles. The interior is a little...

My khaki "06 TJ came to me with a hard top that's also khaki. It's a nice color combination. I was going to put a soft top on for Summer this year but decided to wait until next year. Pretty positive the soft top will be a Bestop and the only selections are black or spice. I've seen black but...

I bought my old TJ new in 2000 with a soft top that I had to replace after about six years. It was loud, flapped around a lot, but I accepted it as a "nature of the beast" thing. The TJ I drive now though- a 2006 - has a hardtop. It's quiet (for a TJ), warm in winter and cool in summer, but I...

I have an '06 Rubicon with stock wheels and crap tires from the previous owner. I do most of my driving on winding and hilly pavement - lots of rain, some snow. Anything off-road is logging roads, game lands, light trails and such. I do no rock crawling and no mud slinging. So a couple...

I'm an old guy but I'm famous with all the people I know for being healthy as a horse. Everybody knows I never ever get sick. So I was at the restaurant supply place Friday afternoon, just killing time, and I started to feel funny. Only not "ha ha" funny. I was light-headed, seeing black spots...

I had nothing to do the other night so I went into town to the Bijou to see 1917. I heard nothing but good things about it and wanted to know what all the racket was about. Welp, I saw it. And I have to say the movie is underwhelming from where I sat. The cinematography and the costumes were...

I've only had my TJ for a few months. It's a hardtop that was originally a soft top and when Spring comes to the Northeast I'm planning on converting it back for the warm months. I'll be buying a Bestop and I'll try to talk myself into twill. My question is for folks who have had experience...

After months of searching ads, driving all over the Northeast, and climbing under I-don't-know-how-many Jeeps trying to find the right one I finally gave up, took a very big chance, and bought a Southern Jeep. I had it shipped to me last week - a not-uneventful experience - and I've been driving...

I have been lurking a bit here and seems like everyone is on the same page so I thought I'd join up. I'm an old guy, early retired (there's a story behind that), and live with my wife, 13 year-old daughter, and our dog in northeast Pennsylvania. We live in the middle of nowhere. Preliminaries...
