Just don't ship an angry grill. - sorry, couldn't resist.

The window storage bag will also hang behind the front seats. It takes less room if you position it so the left and right rigid side pieces fit snugly around the front seats. It does mess up the leg room for rear seat folks. Currently my grandkids all have short legs. The window storage bag...

I put the uppers and the lower half doors in the boot behind the seat of my 2 door. And the rear seat is still usable for my grand kids. They aren't very thick. I would expect I could fit - rear windows - left, right and back - fabric door uppers - fabric door lowers all in the boot and...

@Bestop fabric doors. Work well as advertised. They allow me to drive 65 mph on the highway without getting totally blown out of the cab. Then I can take them off and drive doorless on the beach. They store in the boot just fine so I can drive doorless all weekend, but quickly pop them on if...

My two favorite mods: Note they are standing on the rear seat and hanging their arms on the roll bar. The top is in sunrider mode which gives the back seat passengers about 80% open air. Sunrider is so good and so fast (15 seconds to open/close) I almost never need to remove the side windows...

And this is why I'm not buying significantly bigger tires or adding a lift. I can just barely drive into my garage WITH THE SUNRIDER OPEN. Since the open top is a main reason to own this jeep it's important that I can zip in and out of the garage without having to open/shut the lid each time.

WHEELS - I got some JK Rubi take off tires and wheels. The pic shows the new wheels on the rear and the old steelies on the front. and a spare tire cover to fit my beach theme

Running boards because we are short. UPDATE - THESE ARE NOT ABS. THEY ARE HDPE WHICH IS NOT AS STIFF. THEY LOOK GOOD AND WORK FINE, BUT ARE KINDA FLOPPY ON THE ENDS. BUYER BEWARE. I'M A PLASTICS ENGINEER AND ABS IS SIGNIFICANTLY STIFFER THAN HDPE. - They work. A bit floppy, so just don't stand...

Junk in my trunk? A blue jeep needs a color coordinated set of blue ice chests - no extra charge since they were already in my garage. You can also see: - Left side roll bar - jeep rain cover sitting on top of a black little bag that holds my air compressor. Water bottle. - right roll bar: red...

@Bestop fabric doors - highly recommended https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TH3CTP9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Mirrors so you can see to drive doorless - these work well. There is a permanent attachment bit you bolt to the front cowl, and the actual mirrors go on/off as...

Minor Mods - sunglasses holder for roll bar. I attached this to the area by the driver's head. Can hold random small stuff. Doesn't blow off or blow open when driving on the freeway with the top open...

old build thread link - in case a sysadmin has a backup and wants to be nice and restore it. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/my-miata-replacement-build-journey-yes-its-a-jeep-story-too.98806/

FYI, when my account went FUBAR last month my build thread disappeared. Luckily the wayback machine had a copy from 2022, so it's a good start. I'll update with the mods I've made since then. Meanwhile, here is the 2022 version. Hat tip @GATORB8 jimcoffey62 First Name Jim Joined Jul 7...

The story starts in 1983 when I met the love of my life in college. Fast forward 30 years and it's her 50th birthday, our 30th anniversary, our 5 kids are "mostly" out of the house, and we are empty nesters. Time to sell the minivan and buy her a Miata (I fell in love with ragtop convertibles...

Awesome. Thanks a 10^6

Ya, just now seeing this. It really sucks that the sysadmin deleted all my threads. I was using my build thread as on ongoing diary of what I've done, what worked, what didn't, and why. I had multiple threads where I used my expertise in plastics and adhesives to try to help folks out...

I completely understand. I live 35 miles from Galveston Beach, 30 miles of that are freeway including a causeway to the island that is high, over water, and lots of wind. We did it once with no doors. WOW - really blowy. So I purchased a set of besttop half doors. Highly recommended. Not...

peak designs has great gear. and yours is an excellent adaptation.

sleepy?? I don't get the reference. I didn't install an angry grill. I wave at other wranglers on the road. I don't abuse, berate, belittle, or use profanity to others. Life is too short to be a jerk. I've been a sysadmin for networks at work. There was probably just a reset for some...

If you click my build thread you'll see that I traded in a Miata when we got grandkids and needed a convertible with a backseat. The only 4 seater convertible that isn't a sucky sedan is a jeep. oh wait, you can't click my build thread because SOMETHING RESET MY ACCOUNT TO ZERO AND DELETED ALL...
