YJ, JK, and now with the JL, those silly tabs all behave the same way, Lol! I think it wouldn't be a real Jeep if they stayed put.
You’re probably right. My favorite top ever was for my 76 CJ-5 tub body. Best thing about it was it didn’t exist. Never any issues or headaches with it :clap:

Why would you not use Deep Cycle 6V batteries, since the Wrangler does not require high cranking amps whereas the 6v would provide considerable more amp hours over all and run your accessories mush longer. Golf carts, boats, RV dual 6v trumps dual 12v every time.

Nice clean looking installation though
I didn't research if 6V batteries come in size 24. They might but I wouldn't be able to use a split starter/Aux battery system. The 2 6V batteries would have to stay in series. Capacity (AHs) of a lead acid battery is based on weight of lead which is essentially the weight of batteries. So I wouldn't get more AHs from 2 6V assuming they were size 24 and weighed the same. 6V batteries would have thicker plates which allows more/deeper discharge cycles. I'm perfectly happy with 400 cycles at 80% discharge. Plus I do want a starter/aux system which pretty much limits me to (2) 12v batteries. I suppose it's possible 4 small 6V batteries might exist.

Heres my RV. (4) Full river DC400-6 batteries with 4000w pure sine wave inverter.

Does the second battery replace the stupid 1/2 battery or just double up the normal battery?
It replaces the tiny battery. Much easier to replace batteries in the future. Can't believe FCA hid that battery so deep.

After ripping off my passenger side rear fender months ago (too close to a mountain side), finally got the clips, and rivets to put it back on!

Where did you get the rivet gun?

Installed Brawlee rear glass lift gate dome light. Near how it's curved to match rear glass perfectly. Not sure if wiring it to dome circuit or continuous circuit would be better.

Do you recommend them? Also, got a link for that flashlight mount? It looks great!
Here's the link for the flashlight. I would recommend the quick release screws. Don't have to take out the tools to unscrew it and I can hang grocery bags from them. They so sell a cover attachment but I didn't get it.
