Once upon a time @CR90 had a YJ and life was good.
Then I found myself commuting in it, in SoCal, without AC. So I sold it. This was a mistake.
Now I am redeemed. A few weeks ago we ordered a Punk'n JLUR and hope to have it over the summer. We'll track the build in these top posts.

- 7/31/18 Built and approved for shipment. Expected at dealer mid-August
- 8/20/18 Delivered! It did not go well at Dennis Dillon.
Purchased/Installed:
Soon:
- Screen protector
- Custom vinyl art
- Mopar Molle bags
- Tailgate table
- Overhead crane for garage
- Hard top and door storage (hard top cart built)
- ARB pump, hose, inflator
- ARB deflator
- 48" hi-lift jack
- Hood mount for hi-lift
- Spare tire trash bag
- Batwing Awning? Possibly not with the iKamper annex, which provides protection against sideways rain
- SpiderWebShade
- ACE cargo basket - only 16.5 clearance
- ARB 50 qt fridge - 20" high
- Vector cargo basket - 24.5" clearance, not compatible with soft top
- Fridge drawer/tie-down
- Bestop sunrider for hard top?
- RTT Compatible Rack
- Maximus-3?
- Gobi?
- Rhino?
- RTT - figure out rack first
- ARB Simpson IIIb rooftop tent
- James Baroud? - ladder isn't great, tough decision
- CVT Mt Rainier - prefer hard shell
- iKamper! - 2017 kickstarter. 2x is more compact, 110#, available annex. Yes!
- Bumper loop - stinger or prerunner? Probably prerunner
- Winch plate
- ODB2 customizer
- Winch
- Headliner
- Jammock
- Front plate mount
- Side steps (instructions)
- Sill guards
- Homelink mod/dashcam power (more dash cam wiring ideas)
- Not sure how to store the soft top
- Gobi can theoretically interoperate with a soft top. But that's quite an ordeal just to flip the soft top back.
- Probably we'll use the hard top with a Teraflex Nobo (if they ever make one for JL) for trips, and stick with the soft top while in town.
