2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[Krondor]

So... dealership has no option to order a soft top. And, bless the company, no way of knowing when or even if...
Mopar has one for 1700..$, ouch! Anyone knows any other? I’m not gonna rush, but would love a soft top. Anything on the far, far horizon?

I don’t need one till spring. I’ll be happy if they are ready by then. Maybe @BestopTeam can give us a better ETA for us 2 doors?

geo, nurse her along and keep your fingers crossed! man ten days seems like forever...

Making too much noise. Got the clutch replaced today. They even heard me coming in :cwl: Saw the throw out bearing Don't think it would have lasted more than a couple days. Interesting how it was quiet one day and then the next all you know what broke loose. Glad it happened now rather than next month when the new owner takes it.

That would be great. Now that we are starting to cool off would be a perfect time for a soft top for me.

in my excitement to respond i forgot to mention that being without your doors and windows in Phoenix, during torrential downpours is, to say the least, WET! like soaked to the bone wet. 4" of water in the footwells wet, till i was able to pull the plug. tarped both jeeps while in the lot but we both got hammered the first night and had to pull our drain plugs. we both had to drive in it, luckily not far. and i will still answer with a straight face when asked "what happens when it rains and you've got no doors?", you get wet.

Didn't you see the news that Phoenix was getting hit with the left over hurricane.

New clutch, decent weather - going geocaching up the Red Rock Canyon area west of Las Vegas while my wife is competing in her table tennis tournament. She snagged a gold and a silver today. Found a "dirt" road that has a number of geocaches hidden off it. Hmmm - might even have to put Puki in 4WD

Oh ya, we knew it was coming, but our doors are in California, i arranged a lil time off, and we are going home to get them this weekend.

At least Phoenix has cleared up!

G’morning unicorn Jeep fam!

I'm not running any lift the rubicon stock suspension is awesome, in a few years and 50k miles later i'll change the suspension, but i never understood why people just throw out their brand new rubicon suspensions

Probably if they are going to really big 37" or more tires then they need more lift. And also although many don't do it bigger brakes, stronger axles and even lower gearing than the Rubi's 410. I have 315 /70/17's on mine with 4.5" backspacing and -6mm offset and the wheels fit fine. My primary use is as a road vehicle and am very happy with it. I am bordering on 21 mpg in every day country driving and it rides as good as it looks.
