At what point (page) did it become a build thread? I'm trying to find it so I can turn it into a build thread. I totally missed that the guy became a member and then turned it into a build thread. No wonder I'm confused

So, I daily my TJ, 4in lift, on 35’s and I enjoy it. I had a stock TJ right before this and the handling on the highway is nearly identical. Except for when there is wind, then the natural sailboat tendencies of jeeps is slightly more noticeable. And potholes at 70 give an ever so slight amount of movement which immediately goes away, I can go hands free on a straight away. Handling on city/suburban streets is easy, and even with a manual, I find it enjoyable.
Maybe I’m an outlier but I definitely all around love DD/wheeling my tj
Fucking @Apparition, always trying to make a build thread for everyone else
No wait, I was wrong. It was @Alex01 that started this thread that somehow turned into a build thread, which has been confusing the shit out of me as to why it's still alive. Now I know, and now it's been moved and had a title change.
I've been sitting here this entire time wondering how this thread can still be going. Now it makes sense

That can be arranged
How about I just give Blaine his own sub-forum. Then he can post but people can't respond, ask why, or question anything.
We need a good, non biased comparison of twill vs hardtop with nothing else changed.
Pretty much yeah where Bestop's Sailcloth tops are concerned. But for sure the interior can be hellishly loud with a cheaper top with thinner fabric. Especially when a window is open.
A soft top will be quieter with a simple trick... zip all the windows shut and turn the blower on to inflate it which can really hell. Just don't use the a/c recirculation mode which which won't do that.
Can't. The ride height will change between the two.
just swap to a more comfy spring 
That can be arranged
Yeah, how do you think that will go?
Pretty much how it is now with as many folks that have me on ignore. Or maybe I have them, it's so hard to keep track.
I've got a frameless Bestop version here on a new install that is drum tight. We and the owner agree that the best thing this top is good for is starting a bonfire and that's being kind.Pretty much yeah where Bestop's Sailcloth tops are concerned.

It is the single most annoying top I've ever seen. We have the aluminum bows in correctly, it is tight as anyone can possible get it. He has microfiber towels folded and stuffed between the tops of the bars and sound pods and the flapping, very rapid snapping flap starts about 35mph and just gets worse as you go faster. That is with the AC on full blast non recirculate trying to inflate the top. If it were my rig, top would come off and go right into the trash.
I even built custom spreader attachments for the door surrounds to hold them out to line up perfectly with the door plane. No difference.

I had both on my silver Rubicon. Twill night and day difference. My opinion of course, but there’s a reason one cost more than the other. The sailcloth flaps like a SOB.
I’m curious to hear what the real arguments are for it over a good framed top like the supertop. Maybe just price or looks?
