]Well I did a couple of minor mods. The mopar door sill kit and the 3rd brake light relocate kit. I also disconnected the hood switch that disables the Start/Stop feature. The only time I really hate the ESS system is when I'm pulling up to park somewhere and it shuts off before I'm fully parked and then restarts. For example, if I'm parking in the garage and I'm checking my clearance. Not pictured is the replace a windshield mod! I had a small chip and took it to a glass company to get filled/sealed. Turns out that was a big mistake. Once they drilled into it and injected the resin it started running like crazy!! I also picked up one of those black Jeep Gear hard badges but I think my son is gonna put it on his new Jeep bed.

Not necessarily to my Jeep, but for my Jeep. Finally finished the cradle and lift for my top. It works great! A 3/4 in socket and a drill speeds the process up quite a bit. All in...I’ve spent less than $100. Even was able to position the lift so that my wife can park under it (just works better with the layout of our garage) and I can still get into the attic with the top on the lift. Finding the center of mass was the hardest part...a lot of forwards and backwards until it lifted level...

I will not be participating in this forum as of 8/31/2018. It's been a fun ride, but it's time to move on. Take care. - Dustin

Wow, nice job. Looks like a block and tackle and some sort of hand winch?

Yes sir! Here are links to the main parts:

https://m.harborfreight.com/38-in-x-100-ft-diamond-braid-rope-61678.html

Everything else is just a couple 2x4s and a couple of eye bolts.

I also got some steel and made some Topsy style brackets for the back...They work, but they aren’t pretty...
