  1. Jerry Can Mounted for $140 (Easy DIY)

    Would love to see a write up on that. I'd like to swap from a metal Jerry can to the rotopax.
  2. What did you do to your 2dr today?

    I installed some Rockville RWB70B marine speakers on my JFTops tonneau cover. My Jeep spends about half the year with the hard top off, a hard tonneau on the back, and just the Freedom panels to keep the sun away. It's a great setup, but the wind noise (especially when the doors are off) wipes...
  3. Can I wire a 2nd amp to head unit in parallel?

    On the odd chance someone reads this thread and wondered how it came out... I installed the speakers today, and everything works perfectly (and very happy with the result). The specs on the Alpine amp indicate the amp can handle anywhere from 2-4ohms of resistance, and the new speakers are 4ohm...
  4. What did you do to your Jeep today?

    I mounted a set of Rockville RWB70B marine speakers on my JFTops tonneau cover. During the warm months (which is half of the year here in DFW) I remove the hard top, install my rigid tonneau cover, and just use the Freedom panels. It's a great setup for me, but- especially with the doors off-...
  5. Tops off 2 door pics!

    That is a Bestop Trektop NX with the side panels removed- which works pretty well, since you can also fold the front part back to give you open air above the front seats. However, for the past two years, I haven't installed mine. Instead, I remove the hardtop, leave the Freedom panels...
  6. Can I wire a 2nd amp to head unit in parallel?

    Having done some more research (and thinking), adding a second amp in parallel should be fine- IF it is another Alpine KTP. However, if I go with a different 2 channel amp I will need to add resistors into the feeds to that amp (otherwise the head unit will see no resistance and turn off). For...
  7. Can I wire a 2nd amp to head unit in parallel?

    I have the 7" head unit with the standard audio system. I've already installed an Alpine KTP amp for the factory speakers (as well as a powered subwoofer) to the stock system. My question pertains to adding a second KTP amp. I have a hard tonneau cover (pic) I use all summer, and I want to add...
  8. Tops off 2 door pics!

    Thank you! That tonneau cover has an intersting story. I was getting a haircut a couple years ago, and a guy walks in and says "Whose 2 door JL is that?" Turned out the fellow was Jon from https://jftops.com/. He makes a tonneau cover (among other things), and needed to grab measurements...
  9. Tops off 2 door pics!

    Here in the DFW area, my top comes off in April/May, and gets put back on in September/October. Today was the beginning of "top off" season!!! This year I added some padding for the bars (don't like the look of the painted metal bars) and also some Jeep letters that came from my friends Gladiator.
  10. 2 Door Roll Bar Pads - Koverz

    Great thread- ordered! I have been looking for covers since I bought my JLR (was beginning to research making them myself- but this is a much better/easier solution).
  11. New hard tonneau cover for TWO door JLs!

    Just be sure to let him know you want the unit to be compatible with the soft top. I had him leave the deck completely flat (with no cutouts for the softtop hardware in the back) because I don't usually put my side panels on with the softtop. The tonneau (at least mine) makes no noise at all-...
  12. New hard tonneau cover for TWO door JLs!

    @SH556JL I really like this solution a lot. Last April once it started to warm up I took the hardtop off and reinstalled the bed cover. The cover consists of two pieces. The back piece isn't too heavy, but the front piece (which has the security board permanently attached via a hinge) is...
  13. Looking for way to mount Marine Speakers

    I have wondered the same thing (I sent SSV an email asking if there is any reason they wouldn't work on a 2 door- haven't received a response- I need to give them a call).
  14. Looking for way to mount Marine Speakers

    One of my favorite fastening systems! I have a whole tool drawer full of zip ties of various lengths and colors...
  15. Looking for way to mount Marine Speakers

    I'd like to mount marine speakers (something like these) during the summer when the top is off. Every mounting kit I've found has a note indicating "JLU only" (naturally). Has anyone found either a kit or a DIY method for mounting marine speakers in a 2dr JL? If I go the DIY route, I'll...
  16. I REALLY appreciate a 2-door specific forum!

    Actually, I think the 2 door represents only about 12% of all JL sales... After visiting numerous dealers in the DFW area and not finding a single 2 door back in 2019, I did an Autotrader search and ended up driving 190 miles to Arkansas to purchase mine. It had been driven about 1,500 miles...
  17. front seats seat release Handles

    I do not believe the seats in the JL tilt forward (i.e., lifting the back of the seat to tilt the whole thing forward)- you can only tilt the seat back forward. The seats in my old TJ used to completely lift and tilt forward, but the seat tracks in the JL seem to not have a release in the back...
  18. What did you do to your 2dr today?

    Did this last year, but there seems to be a lot of discussion between 35 and 37 tires... Long story short, 37s look awesome on a 2 door (IMO), but if you try to stick with the stock suspension, the handling is just no good. With enough aftermarket components, 37s look great, ride great, and-...
  19. Body colored vs black top

    I have whacked my OEM black fenders on a number of things (including a few tree trunks) and am amazed at how durable they are! When I first bought mine, I was seriously thinking about getting color matched fenders and top- but over the past couple of years the black has grown on me (especially...
