Here is something I did for my Jeep. I didn't want my hardtop just hanging from the ceiling so I installed rails for the hoist system and built a shelf for the top to set on. The shelf also made a great place to hang the doors and park the mower and other necessities.

My front springs are straight and everything else is fine too. Have done plenty of off road and road without problems.

Wasn't today.... Well it might be again today, but...

Took the jeep to the beach this weekend and took the doors off for the first time. So much fun. I wanted to drive around all day the time just enjoying it.

Had to put the doors back on yesterday to drive home. The weather is looking clear for the next few days. I think I'm taking the doors off again!

I get now why you guys were complaining about that one PITA screw. I was determined to switch mine for the clear ones this evening so I went outside and started pulling things apart, with the instructional videos by my side. Well, Diode Dynamics didn’t include the extra one-time-use pop rivots they say in their video they do, so I thought I would be able to make it happen without removing that one. All was going well and I was getting ready to pull the final few screws out, but then hubs came out to “help” me and wound up taking over. :mad: We realized later that pulling most of the bracket screws out was totally unnecessary and the only one that REALLY mattered was the one that’s damn near impossible to get to. Anyhow, in trying to get the new side marker screwed back in, my dearest husband also wound up breaking the round clip on the marker light bracket. I think it’s because he kept trying to jam the ratchet in place to reach the bolt since it’s in such an inconvenient spot. Oh well. Everything still went back together just fine but it got too dark to do the other side so that will happen tomorrow morning. I do love the way it looks for a (relatively) simple mod!

Has there been a comprehensive write up on one of the side threads which explains the tips and tricks of this install? I'm getting close to doing this mod. Thanks!

2019 Ocean Blue Sahara 2.0 JLU FINALLY HERE!
I took a quick lunch break at the beach in the Jeep over the weekend and did something I used to do all the time in my TJ for the first time in the JLU. Top down, standing up on the seat and leaning back against the sport bar.

Noticed that Jeep seems to have thought of this use-case and very conveniently created beveled edges on the sport bar and even included side bolsters. Very comfy! Cool!

Got my RC 2.5" budget boost installed. I had planned on doing this myself, but I realized my floor jack was undersized/rated, and my jack stands were 3 ton and too short, so with all the stuff I was going to have to buy to get it done, a local tire shop was able to do it for not much more. I have tires and wheels coming from discount tire direct in the next week or so!

I took the soft top off and put the hard top back on. I am leaving for a couple weeks of camping and wheeling in Colorado from Michigan. I thought it would be a little more secure with the hard top on. This makes me sad. I drive with the top down most of the time and the hard top with the freedom tops out is just not the same.

There's a YouTube video by Shocker Racing that really helped me out, just watch the whole thing because I think he did the second one easier.
