So, shameless plug...not for me personally, but for a company that I think is doing a great job making accessories for us Jeeples. So much so that i reached out to them to offer my unicorn as a test vehicle and for measurements for new 2-door products. (They are in San Jose...not far from me.) Met up with their designer and co-founder Rob on Tuesday. He spent a lot of time taking pics and measurements, and a bit of video of me using my grab-handles to use in promotional content. Anyway, super nice and talented guy, great company, fantastic products..and hopefully some cool 2-door JL specific stuff in the near future...check them out:

And here's a quick, unedited snippet of me in my JL....The top is in a kind of weird (sunrider+safari) position because I didn't notice at the time (we had been taking a lot of different measurements) so don't judge LOL!

I love those grab handles, I just got them a few days ago.

Woot, it is finally here! Dealer is finishing his inspection now.

He also told me they over inflate the tires on purpose when they are just sitting on the lot, so that may be why so many people have been getting them with way too much pressure.

Pics incoming once I go and finalize it all =)

Passenger side was clackety clack....I can't find the thread for what peeps are doing to solve but it only clacks when it comes out away from home so I'm trying to keep it in place by giving it nowhere to go...see pics...easy if it works

Woooohoooo!!!! I’m gonna get me a wildebeest for supper! My lioness is in the prowl!
Accelerates awesome, steers nice! I forgot to reduce pressure when we left. My husband said not to worry. I said hell no, I’m stopping!
Took front panels off (god how easy it is, light as feathers). I think I got sunstroke and a sunburn on the drive home. Teaches me right, should not go topless in 90+ temp.
Anyway, dealer was awesome, can’t beliee waiting is done.

Picked mine up Yesterday! Don't have much to say that hasn't already been said by others. Definitely make sure you check your tire pressure before heading out, mine were also set way too high from the dealer and it really didn't drive nicely at all like that.

I'm so glad I waited for my PST, it is A M A Z I N G.

I was thinking of soft top til last years fire storms, driving through embers in the middle of the night hearing the sounds of your neighbors houses exploding (was like driving through a war zone) made me settle on hardtop.

Plus less fluff blocking back hatch, hard top off looks alot cleaner. I would love to have a couple more inches of head room on the roof the soft top give though... always a tradeoff

Sooooooo yeah, looks like mine will be in shop until Monday.

I should be pretty pissed off about it, but taking it well. And most of that comes from knowing the tech is actually taking time to trace problem (looks like loose connection somewhere in the system). Also my sales rep has gone above and beyond expectations. Met me at 730 this morning, they bumped a line of cars and put me at front of line, and when I mentioned having wife pick me up sales rep insisted I take another car until this is fixed. Grabbed me a shiny 2018 Charger with like 50 miles on it, and while no Jeep it is fun in other ways.

Winch mounted and wired, I just need to run the synthetic out and back in under tension.
