bought a hardtop today
With all the BS that's been plaguing the group recently, I thought I'd
share some good news. I bought a hardtop for the YJ for $100. It's in pretty good condition - it needs to be painted, needs new struts for the rear window, and there's a small crack near the top passenger side corner of the rear window. All in all, I'm pretty happy with it. Now I can go bikini top all spring, summer, fall, then throw the hardtop on for the winter. I think I'll be donating my soft top to my dad's YJ, as he doesn't have any sort of top at all at the moment. |

Storage is a problem. I made some long saw horses, and a shelf that sits on them out of 2x2s and osb. Some people like the hoists that you buy in the catalogs, or build a shelf in their garage. It is important to sit it on something flat and level so that crack doesn't get bigger. If you have the same type I have, that I got with my YJ in 1995, you can patch it if necessary with fiberglass repair materials. Earle |

Being in the military, I moved, and left the top high in the roof of the rental garage. I completely forgot about it. I sold the car, and only then, in some other state remembered that I did not have the top. Oh, well. I was young and foolish. Now I am old and foolish. At least my Grand Cherokees have "permanent" roofs, so I cannot forget them. |
