Just a wee update as I haven't been hanging here much lately, but got #3, still have my 'old' rubicon (the one in my profile pic), but it got passed down to my son.
Hot Heads headliners makes a full coverage shade that uses hooks over the back side of the roll bar instead of bungies that go all the way around. This is probably the best solution but I don't love how the header channel attaches and that it's a full coverage instead of front and rear section.
Took a nice day trip to Fort Fisher and got out on the beach for the first time this year. The skinny section was packed! Didn't make it down to the peninsula, I'm assuming there's more room down there (wife started to get antsy and wanted to stop).
Hopefully we'll make at least another trip or...
Low milage jeeps (and honestly jeeps in general) retain their value very well (sold a '11 jk with a busted transmission, for way more than expected due to the low milage [I work from home]). At this point you've already eaten most of the new-car depreciation, so you could think of it as an...
Wow I didn't know the Moab's could handle sand like that, good thing you had a spotter. :giggle:
Next time you guys go, hit me up I've been dying to get down there to FF.
I had these for something else so I repurposed.

I stick them on the lid...
I ended up grinding 1/8" off mine b/c they were preventing the tailgate bar from locking in place completely. I'll probably email Alan at the end of the month to see if they're in production with the shorter ones and see if he'll replace or sell me just the tie downs. Might also just cut them...
@swimman I had talked to Alan about this same issue a month or so ago when I got mine installed. He said they were working on making the tie down rails shorter but that they weren't going to cover that for existing customers. I wonder if he meant existing as in people who buy it at the new...
Probably not, though it may depend on what type you have if you can make it work. The main issue is that the JK has footman loops on the windshield frame (for either hard top or soft to connect to) that the sunshades generally attach to. The JL does not have footman loops at all. The soft top...
The first scratch is always the hardest. They get easier from there.
My first jeep was an `11 JKUR and they gave me a take home 24 hour test drive. Immediately took it out and popped the freedom panels off and put them in the back. Scratched the crap out of one of them, guess I had to buy it...

Interesting idea, I get that it kills a bit of the exit ground...
