    4.0 piston slap?

    Bestop NX Twill Sunrider Reviews and Thoughts

    Yes... I put the Supertop NX on my TJ last year...replaced the old version of the Supertop that had been on there for almost 20 years. It's essentially a factory top with Sunrider. Comes with new hardware. I put it on by myself in about an hour or so.

    Broken Body welds

    Well.. that answers my question. Definitely never ran without the tailgate. Someone recently smacked the shit out of it by backing into it when it was owrk e somewhere. Broke the tail light and dented it. Not sure if that's what it was or not. I'll get it checked out at a body shop. Thanks all.

    Carpet or Weather Tech mats?

    I Rhino Lined mine over 10 years ago.. Got sick of the noise and heat. I got the BedRug for the front and BedTred for the rear earlier this year. Worth every penny to me. Threw my Jeep floor mats on top of it in the front.. Works perfect.
