I didn't want Murphy's Law to bite me in the a$$. So when they gave me a great quote I sold it to them right then and there, then borrowed a car for two months while I waited for my build to arrive. I realize not everyone has the option to borrow a car, but my folks are older and have a hard...

Is the 5th wheel rim with no tire a THING? I saw one the other day and was confused as shit for a half hour afterwards. I could NOT figure out why they only changed their tire and kept the rim on the back. LOL - what a knucklehead (me and the other Jeep driver).

My motorcycles were limited to enduros but those were lots of fun - and less dangerous than driving on the streets in CA (too many stupid drivers). All my other cars were sporty - 240SX, Miata 10AE and BMW 335 coupe (god I loved that car). But I get the top down, wind in my hair, open feel of...

Thank you!

I would prefer a power lift but if the install would better suit a crank, I'd do that. Have been looking at Lang and Harken as most likely options. Going to have to pass on the garage door upgrade, I don't have the room for that kind of set up (the extraa space afforded sure woul be nice). ty...

Thank you - I wasn't sure if I could use those L bar (thanks for the name) and know they would support everything once the roof was lifted. Thought I might have to add 2 x 4s to do that. Much easier.

Have any of you handy, creative geniuses mounted a hoist for your hardtop to your vaulted ceiling and can share pictures of how you tackled the issue? Am I stupid/crazy (or both) for even considering this? I have the clearance above the garage door, both horizontally and vertically (I'll...

Newbie here, just doin' me, in my stock JL 80th AE. Been off road a few times but mostly just love driving my Jeep, no matter where I am. Love reading about and seeing all the mods and builds that people do. And it makes my day when someone waves back. I've done little things that make her...

I guess my only advice is to make sure if you go for a bold statement that your bold statement is something you like for as long as you plan to own the Jeep. On the flip side, you don't want to play something safe and regret not going with your heart because you played it safe. Personally -...

The CJ Renegade was what made me fall in love with Jeeps - had a friend with a white / blue combo. We used to trade when he drove down to San Diego to visit his folks - he got my Nissan 240SX for the freeway and I got to drive the Jeep while he was gone. I knew someday I'd have one of my own...

Completely agree. Live and learn. Being in CA, the CAT is a concern, but with so many electric hybrids around, Jeeps haven't really been a target around here.

The last thread I read about these thefts, the prevalent comment was that one would be better off spending the money on locking lug nuts for the wheels. I thought "oh my goodnees I need to get those" So I promptly bought some, installed them on all five wheels and was standing back admiring my...

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me

You gotta do you. I am sorry about your frustration; nobody likes the anticipation roller coaster right now. But any quick scan of the news and coverage on unprecedented demand and supply chain woes could have prepared you for that. As far as reliability and complaints, those aren't exactly...

Glad you both are okay - we've all done stupid things and sometimes we do them at the really wrong time. Sorry about your Jeep too. Poor girl must have been terrified when she looked to the side and saw your bull bar and grill at face level. Pretty sure that's not something she'll ever do again.

This was a great body style! I had a '99 10th Anniversary Edition for ten years - It was a great body style too and the six speed manual was super fun. The mountain road Sunday drives were the best. I loved that car...

HA - my Jeep IS my mid-life crisis vehicle. ;)

Thank you! And great pics!

If that was a double piece of plywood with a piano hinge, I could have my lower legs stick out the window :).

OMG - you MADE my day!! Rhino is the only system that would allow for the strength, styling and roof removal capabilities that I'm looking for. Thanks for making that call!
