Today was forecast to be 74 and sunny, so I decided it would be a good day to install my Alien Shade. I only pulled the soft top down part way, because the last forecast I saw for next week calls for rain 4 out of the 7 days. After I got it on and put the soft top back up, I looked at my phone's forecast and it didn't show rain at all. Figures. LOL

I left the bar that came with the soft top on because I was putting the soft top back up. I do like it on there just for reassurance that the rain will not pool up. I know I'm probably just being paranoid about that, but its the way it is. LOL

Looks pink in that pic. LOL
Once that was done I made my sticker for my hitch brake light. It's still daylight so I couldn't' get a good pic but this one shows what it is supposed to do.

After that I decided I would see how good I could do on making parachord door handles. They didn't turn out to bad.
I need to find some nicer looking bolts to use on doors though. The PO put that big bolt in there. The other side is like that too. Time to go to Emiegh hardware and do some bolt searching. LOL

Since the handles didn't turn out to bad, I plan on making me some grab handles. I don't want the traditional ones you see on the roll bars. I'm going to try to make a loop style one that will hang from the bolt that holds the roll bar to the windshield post. I'll post some pics once I get them done. If they come out ok. LOL
So I got a few things done to the TJ today.
