Added some Rubicon wheels/tires to my dirty JLUS this weekend - very happy
Seven Slot BattalionA balmy 16 deg F. Today for working on the jeep outside. Installed a garvin 54" wind deflector for my pioneer platform. Fabricated my own removable mounting brackets. Can still install and remove front freedom panels with deflector on.
I bought it direct from their website (https://www.topliftpros.com/). They had a Black Friday deal back in November so I got $100 off.Hi Rob, can I ask where you bought your Toplift Pro? The Harken didn’t work in my garage configuration without making a lot of changes. I’m going to bite the bullet and order the Toplift. Should’ve done that in the first place.
Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. No deals on their website but still cheaper than other places, so I’m going to order from them. Still the best option for me. I’m anxious to get the top off!!I bought it direct from their website (https://www.topliftpros.com/). They had a Black Friday deal back in November so I got $100 off.
ICYMI - others have noted that it doesn't work quite as well with a JLU as it does with a JL, JK or JKU due to the design of the JLU top. It tends to lean toward the front of the top when on the lift so it's very unstable until you put the support rails in. Still a one-person task, but not as easy as the videos that I've seen make it look. That's my only "gripe", otherwise very nice product. Just thought I would share.
No adjustable track bars, control arms or caster adjustment bolts? Def gonna need it.Just purchased the following.....
Rock Krawler Adventure Series 3.5 lift kit
Teraflex Falcon 3.3 shocks
Open Country MT 37/12.50/17
Fuel Trophy D551 wheels
Teraflex Alpha Carrier
Rugged Ridge Hindges
A lot of , but hopefully I won’t be disappointed!
I might be mistaken, but I think that rk lift kit comes with adjustable track bars and rear relocation bracket. I think it comes with longer control arms but I don’t think they’re adjustable, which I would change that if it were me. Like you said, he’ll need it...No adjustable track bars, control arms or caster adjustment bolts? Def gonna need it.
Have fun!! Post pics !!!
The RK adventure series lift comes with longer than stock fixed LCA's that put my caster right at 6 with a 2.5" lift. The RK x-factor lift has adjustable LCA's. However, the grease fittings are a pain to deal with on the Adventure series...have to drop the arm to get to them and already had to replace 2 fittings because they broke off when 2 different mechanics attempted to grease them. Also supposed to use RK's unique 000 grease that has to be ordered and cost double normal grease.I might be mistaken, but I think that rk lift kit comes with adjustable track bars and rear relocation bracket.

I bought a few 90 degree zerks to solve that issue. Works great.The RK adventure series lift comes with longer than stock fixed LCA's that put my caster right at 6 with a 2.5" lift.

I have a JLU and the Top Lift. The top does lean forward a bit on the TopLiftPro, but unless I'm swapping tops for the summer, I don't bother with the support rails. Long term storage, I would say use them.I bought it direct from their website (https://www.topliftpros.com/). They had a Black Friday deal back in November so I got $100 off.
