What did you do to your TJ today?

[PhillyJake]

Prepped for warmer weather - removed the hardtop, dropped on the soft one, put on the new vinyl-wrapped half doors with new cloth uppers, and finally got that barricade bumper on properly.

Only problem now is the back window won't close - the boxes that hold the pulls on have all fallen off, the pulls are gone, and the new ones I ordered off amazon won't zip the teeth together. So now I have a perfectly good top, and perfectly good back window, and no way to marry them. Am I SOL?

That’s an interesting setup that I have not seen before. The limited glimpse of the rig is enticing - you should start a thread as I’d love to see more.

Ugh that sucks, you might be able to find pulls that fit into the zippers on the top side.

 

[TRE3TOP]

a good upholstery shop should be able to put a new zipper on it.

Heavy

Is there something wrong with the Earth's gravitational pull?

There's that word again, heavy. Why are things so heavy in the future is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?!

Finally got to adding a all black shovel to the hood of the TJ.
Any other suggestions what to do next to add to the blacked out TJ?

I like it. A lot. Just don't put on dark lenses. Unless you're 16 and in high school, in which case they would be appropriate.

Replaced the cowl screws after tacking the passenger wiper stud to the armature yesterday.

Called Jeep Hardware... they'll have the correct stuff by June...has to be specially manufactured. I suggested a cowl rebuild kit...screws, speed nuts, rubber piece between the hood and an optional pod filter adapter for a cabin air filter...and suggested they source and carry the wiper studs instead of resorting to replacing the entire $250 armature or resorting to tack welds.

Here's what I got too from my local Ace... technically Wilco Farm Store...Hillman parts. 7 x #10 stainless screws with white heads...no torx anywhere in sight. And 3 x 10x1/2x3/4 speed nuts. For my 97.

Got my soft top on the other day too! Got a new bestop to replace my crappy old one this year. I’ve seen some preventative care done to new soft tops, anything anyone recommends as important to do?

I feel the weight of all the black.

Thank you, I should start one. I had the rig built and am now just maintaining and smaller projects on it. And wheeling when I can.

Thank you!
