Now that you say bronze I can see it. My jeep is copper brown, so I tend to have that on my mind. The front half doors are the current project. Just finished them today. Well, except for the electrical. Sort of on the hunt for rear doors now, but I need to refill the coffers.

Awesome thank you. Not only for the suggestion, but when I went to the northridge4x4 website, I found they had their JL/JT version there as well. Both had pictures of the mounting points for the steel bumpers, showing to me that they are not the same. JK ------------------------------- JL / JT...

Heya folks. My 2015 Hard Rock project continues. I really need to get some pictures up here and share the story, but that has to wait. So, I have my winch installed, and would like to add a bull bar over it to protect and for aesthetic reasons, but the ones I'm seeing around are way more...

Bestop is the brand to go with. I would suggest looking around online, either Craigslist or FB Marketplace. I picked up my last two tops for less than 500. Materials Twill: is the premium fabric, it is softer and more durable. Get this if you can. Identifiable in pictures because the...

As an update. I ended up going with the maximus-3 from rubitrex. I already have a plate for the fairlead and the fairlead itself, so I was able to get the $270 version. I then managed to find the d-ring loops for that kit on ebay for just about half price. They are the display models so the wear...

As stated, the storage is a huge issue for some folks, especially for a hard top if you don't have a garage. I have to get a buddy to help me get it up on a lift in my shed. Of course the jeep can't get into the shed. Other reason can be the noise. I've upgraded to a newer rig (2009 -> 2015)...

I'm looking again. The weather is getting warmer up here and I can almost start on the Jeep again. I appreciate you mentioning the issue you had. I pulled my Badlands 12k off my old jeep before selling and it spent the winter in the shed hanging out with the lawn mower. I would have been quite...

So is this panel on top of your rear seats a homemade item or did you buy it somewhere? If homemade what is it made of? I'm constantly looking for a better solution to the trench issue for my dogs.

The tpe like material is more along the lines of what i'm looking for, although I've been eyeing the product that Cansvasback makes. They are just across the border in Minnesota. Your link did send me into the right direction though. I learned that the back of the rear seats covers is called...

Each new jeep I get I always go to O'Reilly's and have them mix up a rattle can of my pain code. In my small town Wisconsin, O'Reilly's is the only one that mixes, but Advanced has premixed cans as well, and I believe the firecracker red has been on enough years where that is one of the colors...

Eventually I'm going to get Armorlite for my 2015 JKUR, but after reading up on it, the parts that cover the rear of the seats is less than perfect, and people don't suggest getting it. So first, does anyone have here have the full Armorlite and can back up or refute those claims. Second, has...

The more I look the more I lean that way. The plate is whatever, but the ability to add the d-ring loops, even with the price, has me leaning heavily toward Rubitrex. There doesn't seem to be anything that is similar, and of quality.

Thanks. That is the one I have been eyeing. There are features on both that intrigue me. I wish the D-ring loops weren't so damn expensive on for the one from Rubitrex. I like that option.

There is one on Extreme Terrain that is a bit less, but still pretty expensive. I'd be very interested in a more reasonable one. Thanks!

Makes sense that they are thin. I doubt car companies would be able to put ones similar to the aftermarket steel bumpers on and still pass safety requirements. I think it will have to wait, just dropped a bunch on a new Alpine stereo to replace the awful 730N it came with.
