Installed the Tuffys tailgate lockbox/table. I’d love to show the table aspect of it but the box was completely beat to crap and the cables to hold it open weren’t in there.

Yesterday I added a tuffy console safe, boy it was a pain putting in but well worth it. also added a gas cap door. just some new mods to get things going. this following the installation of the Bolt hood lock which was easy peasy.

There was a thread on here where a member wanted to trade his SOT for a hardtop that I replied to and that deal didn’t work out. A week later, another member messaged me and wanted to trade tops and we got it done, my hardtop for his SOT, all brackets and hardware included. I had to drive 1,700 miles to do it but it was worth it! Took about two hours to swap tops everything was plug and play.

After the first deal fell through, I ordered one from LKQ, talked to the salesman asked him if it included everything, explained what I needed and was assured it was in “A” condition. Paid $2100 including shipping. Two weeks later what arrived was not in “A” condition and all of the brackets and bolts had been thrown out, to make matters worse LKQ in Michigan doesn’t know how or doesn’t care to make a suitable crate for shipping and the top was damaged. To make matters even worse I was told it was red, the top that arrived was punkin’!

I refused to take it and they did not want to return my money, I stood my ground and finally got a refund.

After a couple days I cooled off and did some digging on what it would take to make it usable, I went back and made an offer and we agreed to a price. I have ordered the missing pieces and will repair the damage and have it painted GCM and then swap the tops, the GCM on my wife’s white Jeep and the red on to mine.

LKQ is an option to buy one, but I would only do it if I could go and remove it from the wreck so you get everything needed.

I just walked in to the location here and asked.

I consider the 1700 miles for an even trade a bargain. But then I’m like that, I drove to Colorado for a Premium Softtop. Well, and visit my kid that lives there.

Installed Spidertrax wheel spacers, finally found 5 KM3s that will be here in a couple days. We actually really like the look of the factory wheels so going to roll with them for a bit.
