Put on a Bestop twill replace-a-top. Didn’t go on easy because it was in the 20’s today and they recommend doing it when it’s 72 out. A carefully placed electric space heater in the back seat took care of that and I got it to stretch out enough.
Every TJ shudders at the name.
Over a couple weekends (not my DD) replaced the worn and tired ball joints with Spicer ball joints along with replacing the worn out tie-rod, drag link with a Currie and while I had all the front end ripped apart thought it was worth while to install Revolution chromoly axles with Spicer u-joints.
How do you like the quality of the twill? Worth the extra $$$?
Gave up on 12VoltGuy and started to build my own switch panel. Still need some hardware but this should work nicely. Biggest challenge is that my harbor freight bending brake only allows bends up to a certain angle and need it to go another 10 degrees or so. But that section should be hid behind the bezel so maybe it doesn't even matter.
Only time can tell that.
p.s. I hate seeing Amazon reviews telling everyone about the great quality and fit of their Pavement Ends top, minutes after installing it. Let it flap around for a year first before posting a review.

Sorry I misspoke - it’s the sailcloth replace-a-top. Yes, worth the extra money as far as I can tell so far. I don’t believe they make the twill top in spice.
I just saw the answer to "What is Salt Club?" but I need to know, what is a car park?
I'm really hoping it's like a Dog Park, where so many people take their dogs, no matter what breed, to play and have fun with other dogs, and FWIW, I wish they called the places I go in my Jeep the Off Road Park, Yeah, I would prefer Jeep Park but there's usually several other breeds there as well.
I had a rampage on the YJ I bought new. It's nice at first. clean, the windows are clear, good fit, etc. I had nothing to compare it to. 1 year later it's faded grey, hazy windows, an a zipper stuck already. 3 years later multiple zippers stuck, leaks all over, and flaps in the wind like crazy. When I sold the YJ, the soft uppers would fill with water between the fabric layers, zippers were all broken, and a seam was coming undone.Only time can tell that.

Not worth it.

Question; do you have plans for the front park lights/turn indicators? Maybe I just don’t see them. I love the tube fenders, but what do folks do about those lights? ‘Just wondering.

Car park = Parking lot.
Yeah just like a Dog park...Sometimes in the 'Car Park' we are allowed to take are Jeeps off the leash and let them run free for a bit, sniffing the rear of another 4x4 and let them take a leak of oil over a tree. lol

I actually got it out, then it snapped way deeper.
Then my dipstick broke off in the tube. Yep. Mechanics exist for a reason.
