Hi Ya'all,
I am from NZ and have a White 2000 TJ 4.0 Auto with 4" lift and 33x12.5x15 Bridgestone Dueler MT tyres (yes my spelling is correct for over here). Many other mods and still counting. Looking at the Rampage Bowless soft top next, what experience have you guys had with these?
Cheers

You didn't think it would ever happen, huh? Well, it turns out New Zealand has another TJ owner besides you!

Two hours of hills through the valleys, and then some waterfalls to cross, maybe few cloudy cliff paths on winding road... I know, I know.

Heres where I am at... they called it the Texas Panhandle :yikes:

I wonder how many of those TJ owners are "enthusiasts" versus how many people just drive them as transportation.

Going off what his avatar says Looks like he lives on the outer edge of what we call the 'winterless north'......very tropical up there and lots of gravel roads (and stupid tourists who drive on the wrong side of the roads) beautiful part of the country though.

Not many enthusiasts most drive it them unmodified unless you get out in the smaller towns ...in over 5 years of Jeep ownership I have only ever seen one person drive with the doors off !!!!...they have no idea what there are missing our on.

That's what I was thinking. Sometimes I see TJs locally and I want to tell them about the forum, but I can tell from looking at their TJ (and the person driving it), that they don't care about it at all. It's just a vehicle to them. They have no intention of modding it, off-roading it, or like you said... taking the doors off!

The only type of person who would be interested in a forum, would be someone who most likely drove a modified TJ.

Very true! You guys get raped on shipping and customs fees. Here in the U.S. it's easy and cheap to get parts.
