That doesn't look good. I hope you're going to be ok.
What did you do to your TJ today?

I did everything I'm not supposed to and installed my new soft top early this morning. Temp was 50 with 20-30 mph winds and no good sun to lay it out and let it stretch. Took it straight out of the box and installed it. All went good, fitment was better than I expected. I still have to let the windows sit in the sun to get the wrinkles out from being boxed up. Took it for a 30 mile highway high-wind drive. Very quiet, even compared to my Bestop sailcloth top. Windows had zero flapping issues either. 3 year warranty, so I will see how it holds up. I don't think I'll be buying anymore $800 Bestop sailcloth tops anytime soon, if this works out. Paid $269 shipped. Sierra Offroad black Trilogy acoustic top. 45oz heavy top. So far, so good. Only time will tell.

I finally got my new fogs in place and working, I also find out why my front speakers never worked
And took me 1.5 hours to figure out the PO mess of wiring they had. Anyone know the colors of the speakers in the front for wiring purposes???? Hell I’m not even sure i have a way to mount replacement speakers up front
Very interested in your thoughts. I'm pretty disappointed in the top that came installed from the PO on mine. Its a MasterTop something and its insanely loud on the highway. The 8 year old factory top on my 2001 was much quieter. If yours holds up, I'll be looking at this as a potentially quieter alternative that isn't $750+.

I’ve read good reviews on these, I wish they made a slant back top, my buddy has the bestop trex and I love the look and functions, he keeps threatening to sell his Jeep so maybe I can con him out of it for a good deal.

I used something like this so I could put a round speaker in there and it worked out pretty well. Can’t remember the wiring colors though.
I hope this is an elaborate April fools prank. Otherwise hope you get well soon.
I just got my Rugged Ridge frameless soft top delivered, I am not putting it on until the Easter long weekend, I got the thicker sail cloth version but with tax it cost me $715 au, could have got the thinner version for $100 less, I just couldn't see the value in a best top that would have cost me closer to $2000 au landed. Best Top reviews haven't been so "Best" lately anyway. I wont sell my hard top yet in case I don't like the frameless.
Does the Sierra offroad version use OEM header?
Same as the RR, I have my best top bolt on header for the bikini top, that plastic header strip is going to be a pain to get straight given this new top has been rolled so tight in the box!
Which kidney did the doctor recommended selling so you can afford the gas?
(And in all seriousness I hope you're on the mend!)

I can do many things to my Jeep, but only I can f*ck up installing my hand throttle. Clamped it down and the cable is too long 
. Going to go get a new cable tomorrow, super aggravating.

I cut out the rust on my driver’s side torque box and installed a Saf-T-Cap repair section. The install was pretty straightforward but I had one issue present itself.
The repair section didn’t have bolt holes for the rocker guard rivnuts. I had to drill 3 well placed holes in the repair section.
The saf-t-cap section fit really well but for the price they charge I was disappointed I had to modify it to get everything to fit.
Welding the inboard side was somewhat challenging. Wish I had a flexible mig gun neck.

Funny you should mention that. Both of mine are starting to shut down for whatever reason. I’ve never been a heavy drinker, ever, so the testing and drugs continue.

I really wish it was too!
Loaded it for a weekend of camp’n on the river 
This forum is behind you all the way. Stay strong.
Make sure they keep you hydrated. My dad started having kidney issues when he was in the hospital over Christmas because they weren’t keeping him properly hydrated. Without water your kidneys don’t work.
Not understanding - you can cut cables shorter.I can do many things to my Jeep, but only I can f*ck up installing my hand throttle. Clamped it down and the cable is too long
