Well thanks!! But yes that hood is rare indeed. Love the look of your rig!Just 35s.
Its an AEV. Bought it that way. I knew it was somewhat unique but didn't know exactly what it was until it was pointed out to me by @Chris soon after I joined the forum. That was my first taste of all that I did not know.
Have mention before but yours is one of my favorites on here.
3-4 years ago when I bought my first TJ my daughter who was in high school at the time and is very very smart academically pointed to the window crank and asked what that was for.
Thread Revival. At least I did a search before asking questions.
I got the PCP bags to go with the GR half doors. Yup, they come with push pins and the door's upper frame is pre-drilled on the bottom for the PP. But there's no hole in the upper bag for the pins. I'm thinking I'll hit the hobby store for a grommet install kit and install my own grommets in the doors, to prevent wear and tear on the mounting points.. and avoid additional holes in the half-doors. Depending on fitment I'll do the bottom as well or add some industrial grade velcro to the back.
There's already a dome light switch, accessible from the driver's side.
But can it disable the domelight when the door switches are activated? Ala, no doors on.
You disable the lights via the fuse and if you need light you use the dimmer switch. It is not that difficult……
Yes the factory switch still turns on the dome light with the fuse removed. The fuse just disables the door button/switches.
I really cant believe how often this confusion comes up. All of those extra switches and springs are just because the function of removing the fuse is confusing. I have two good friends who bought and installed a switch not knowing you can remove the fuse and manually turn the dome light on whenever you want.
Pulling the fuse just makes it so the door ajar switches are disabled. The lights still work with the dimmer switch.
I use the fuse switch, and for me it is a lot easier and much quicker than pulling the fuse. I never run without doors, and I still use the thing quite frequently when I don’t want the lights - usually off road, but also frequently when I’m working on the rig. I’ve had the thing in there for 15 years and have never had a problem.
I'm a fan of the switch. My glovebox is usually locked and full of stuff so the switch is easier for me.
I have forgotten to slide that glove box strap in after pulling fuse. Open the glove box next time and everything dumps in the floor board
