    Question about this top

    I’m curious about this top. It says it uses the sport bars to support it in the rear. I don’t have the covers or the pads on mine. Is this a factor on how it fits? https://www.bestop.com/products/trektop-slantback-soft-top-jeep-1997-2006-wrangler-tj-exc-unlimited/

    Gear pattern: a different perspective

    I finally have gotten around to doing the gear swap on my Dana 30/35 and building the super 35. It’s been a long time since I’ve done this and , I suppose I’m a little overwhelmed and starting to chase my tail a bit.

    Spare tire mount
