Re: What did you do to your JK this w/e.
Thanks will look for it....did find some on putting it "up" but not installing from scratch...
|
Re: What did you do to your JK this w/e.
Debred: it won't take three hours to put it on. It may take an hour or so. However, it will be helpful to have a second pair of hands for the hardtop.
Also, when installing the softtop, let it sit in the sun for a bit. It will help with the stretching. Good luck. |
Re: What did you do to your JK this w/e.
Installed the AEV 2.5" Dualsport XT suspension as well as the control arm drop brackets. Handles like a dream now.

Pics of the shed and size? I have a thing for sheds. Did you get a prefab one or build from scratch? I wanted to build one from scratch but got a deal on a prefab one from work.

Re: What did you do to your JK this w/e.
Blew my back out lifting the summer spare into place (Dura Tracs 285/75-16 on Ultra Drifters), thank god it was the last tire of the change over to go into place!
2011 Sahara "Islander" If they won't make it the colour you want - build it yourself! |

Wasn't done on the weekend but created some tailgate storage for mini shovel, mag light and hatchet using quickfists.

Re: What did you do to your JK this w/e.
Well I started on the weekend and finished during the week if this counts. Installed AEV front bumper, rear bumper, tire carrier and undercoated the entire beast with Krown. Today I started working on modifying the factory third brake light to work with the AEV tire carrier. It may or may not work. Still unsure about it.
|
Re: What did you do to your JK this w/e.
Installed a Cobra CB 29 LX LCD with 3ft red Firestik antenna on Teraflex antenna bracket.

Re: What did you do to your JK this w/e.
Had the soft top installed....got a quote from the dealer for $144.00 1.5 hour job....ha, did I get a deal or what !!! Took them alot longer than that, but a quote is a quote....Now to figure out how it works !!! Will wait till it warms up before I attempt that....took them awhile to stretch everything. Looks great !!! All ready for Go Topless Day !!!
|
Re: What did you do to your JK this w/e.
Well the weekend isn't over yet, but I managed to Pull the soft top and doors off again. Yes I pulled the soft top completely out, I just think it looks better gone. Turns out last time I put the soft top on I over tightened one of the knuckles, so ordered some of those and some new floor mats from quadratec.
$90.00 shipping to Canada! Stupid! Anyways I will also be ordering the Tuffy Security Deck this week from Northridge...free shipping and in Canada = :0) |

Had a 2.5 inch teraflex lift kit installed. Built a cart to store the hard top on (sits vertical to save space in the shed). Took the hardtop off and put the soft top on... All in all... an excellent Jeep week!!

If you go this route make sure you get the deflectors that sit in the window track and not the ones that sit on the door frame.
Well that's good to know. Happy Jeepin' |
