I often put salt on my watermelons.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Butter and syrup if needed. Good grits are hard to find up here though.
There is no such thing as "good" grits. They are all bad.
Next time I go to Waffle House I’ll eat some in your honor.

I bet you eat sho fly pie too
I put salt on watermelon and tomatoes. Never heard of sugar on iceberg lettuce.
No, just putang pie for meI bet you eat sho fly pie too
Salt on a cool fresh garden tomato has to be a slice of Heaven on earth.
I installed my new top today.
I was tired of waiting on Mastertop to drop the R.A.T. for the LJ so the itch got me the Skymaster. Having had the Bestop and the OEM hard top I was wanting something different. I like the ability to leave on the top and remove the windows without the factory top sails catching in the wind. I also like that I can get matching soft tops for the half doors. The biggest downfall was I had to order this from the usual scumbags (Quadratec) as no one else had stock and Mastertop was not making any more until November.
As I felt the Bestop was a money grab given the Mastertop Skymaster in Twill is $900 less than Bestop, I opted to try it. They both have a center and rear bar and use a header. This 15701024 was a better option as I had an OEM frame and I was able to use that header, door surrounds and tailgate bar and did not have to purchase all new.
The fitment is very snug. Living in Arizona, I did not have to lay this in the heat or sun. I took it out of the box and installed it.
The whole set up only has 2 zippers on the rear window. Everything else has a slide rail to go into place. This leave a thin little strip of Velcro to attach on, but time will tell if that is an issue, the other side has a sizable section of velcro.
The header was not as snug as I was hoping for, but it fits. I'll run it up the road a few days and see how it fits. Maybe make a few adjustments.
This set up uses the rear seatbelt to secure. I had removed mine but had them in a box. I installed the bolts as a point to secure the top. I'll have to run topless to see if this strap gets annoying.
No tramp stamp on the rear of the top is a plus.
The stitching seems fine. I touched up a few loose ends with a lighter as I could tell it was the termination point of a stich. Otherwise it all looks nice.
I left the muckets in place as I feel it fits better around the door frame.
Door fits snuggly and has no issues.
The Velcro around the center frame needed to be super snug. On my 1st test drive I didn't have any slapping, but could hear the wind buffering over the top. I snugged this down and it seemed to help under 70-75 mph. Honestly I don't intend to drive it on the hwy. I am sure I will have to, but this top is mainly for trail use.
Overall I think it's okey. I can run it with or without the vent on and it makes almost no difference in sound. The windows are a little taughter with the vent on, but no slapping on the frame like when I would turn it off on the OEM soft top.
It makes noise, but I would say only just a little more than the other soft top and you can't compare hard to soft, it's in its own ball games.
I'll give this some time and see what I think. Hopefully it grows on me as I always liked the square back.

Salt on green apples in the U P of Michigan.
As a kid, had the squirts many times because of those.......
New speakers- one was blown and had to go. How hard can 8 screws be ? Geeze.
Been listenin’ to Hal Ketchums’ greatest hits. Man he was great. Really genuine artist. Hate we lost him. Night ride time.

super stoked on the look. Fighting the lighting bad right now. Found an old thread of yours... wired to this, have running lights but no blinkers anywhere. Any guesses what I'm missing?
Thinking -
Make sure you delete/ignore the lead to the factory markers - that is where it gets confusing-
The turn signal lead splits to the marker and turn and they share a ground.
You may have popped the fuse long the way is my guess man.
I’ll keep an eye on this tomorrow and pm ya my number. You will succeed.
