I’m guessing more than a couple hours. :CWL:

I got the skids too. Excellent.


I’m kicking myself for getting the wheels and tires. Jeep has been at the dealer getting the steering and stereo checked. They replaced the stabilizer and were going to charge me for an alignment because they thought it was lifted with those tires.

Also, they had the Jeep two more days trying to update the stereo. It kept erroring so they ordered a new one. I spent a good bit of time painting that dash. I just know they will scratch it taking the dash apart to replace the stereo. :(
ooooooh nooooooo, not the dash!

After getting home I needed to walk the pup, pick up his mess, eat dinner, pup didn’t feel good so picked up his mess and cleaned the carpets... THEN I finally got to unpack the multiple bits of goodness. At the end of it all it’s an hour before bedtime. :beer:

Going to have to wait till the weekend. :bandit:
Maybe you can post a video? Since it comes with no instructions? I’m the worlds worst procrastinator, my soft top still in box. I have been working many weekends and also out of town, to my defense...also has been pretty rainy. I know, I know, a poor testament to jeeples...

I'm horrible on voicemail let alone video. Luckily there are already instructions and a video for the 4 door that I'm sure is just what you do for the 2 door.

That's cool but I'm interested in head room in the back. Specifically around the roll bars because I mounted an air compressor to the side where the factory soft top has that bracket attached. I'm wondering if this top will have enough clearance to leave it where it is.
Doesn't look like it as the top follows the bars fairly close.

I'd planned to mount mine in the same place. Looks like I'll be looking to put the tank just ahead of the sport bars down on the floor.

Almost rolled her out in the woods. My right rear tire caught on the rock and the others just turned me sideways. The vid that a buddy took looked worse than it seemed inside cause it happened fast.

Mud and snow are always sketchy. Looked like a fun time otherwise.

1.5 hours in as I had to make room and set the hard top just right. :asshat::beer::beer:

A four beer job I’m sure.

It happened so fast I didn't really have time. I eased her forward and she came back around, I backed down the hill and took the bypass
