Finished up the winch install, used the Fast Fid to attach the Ultra-Hook and got the top off. Excellent weekend!

The Sky One Top intrigues me. I understand the rear quarter panels come out but what do you do with the rear window? Run with it open as you've shown here?

It’s a rainy day here and I had a short day at work, so I thought I’d try and make my ocd shut up. .......:mad:......With a full tank of gas I’ve had a 5/8” lean to the passenger side for a while now. So I added a half inch spacer to passenger side.............

I got it within a 1/4”, that’s gonna have to do. Those of you that don’t have ocd, be thankful, it’s a bitch............:headbang:...............:)
i beleive the 1/2"-5/8" extra height on the driver side is normal. i read that its because driver weight in the seat should even it out more or less. but i cannot say i found what weight actually makes it even

Yeah.... I believe you’re right, however, knowing this doesn’t keep it from bugging the crap out of me ,lol. And I can verify that on rk springs, 200 pounds equals 3/8” so this means when I’m low on fuel I’ll be leaning to the driver side.....:facepalm:......................:)

Space is tighter then I thought. Not sure I can get my 1500 back there and have room to get the straps on.

But this will work awesome for getting my top and/or RTT on/off

Painted the grill and inserts. This was my first attempt at painting anything on or off a Vehicle (what better way to start then with a Jeep). I picked up a used grill, just in case it didn't turnout the way I envisioned it. But I am happy with the end results.

Today is was the first step to my new wheels going on.

drove 3hrs round trip for these 285/75/17 KO2’s

$650 for a set of 5 with less then 2k miles was a deal that I simply could NOT pass up.

@Wabujitsu has the jks lift on, he might be able to shed some light.

I really like the idea of the sky top, if it was available for the 2 door I probably would have gotten it. But I'm really curious, how does it do going down the highway at 80 mph with it in that configuration? Do you notice anything strange from the back glass being closed, like a buffeting or anything? Also; can you not drop the windshield if you have a sky top?
you can open or close the sky one top at 60mph or slower.

haven't noticed any noise with the back glass open or close with the sky1 top open.

also the front glass does go down
