My last rig had a bestop softop that I could pull all the sides and have pretty much a bikini top plus I put genright aluminum doors on it to preserve the full and...

    Front Mud Guard / Flap

    If you are referring to the last pic (gray fender) in my post, that is adhesive leaching out with sand stuck to it. It seems very rust proof so far.

    Freedom top seals or leak fix

    So you are aware of the salt spray in the air at night. It is an accumulative damage. I also believe the PO did not wheel it at all. I have heard the tops make snap crackle and pop sounds while using it. Probably upset the delicate balance of the seals. After being a Kali resident, how are you...

    Freedom top seals or leak fix

    Thanks Anybodyhome! The tip about the tightening is probably what is happening. I more than "snugged" the rear bar bolts for sure and in the wrong order. I tightened them first (of course) LOL. I did order the extreme terrain front seal after watching the video. The guy did it in ten minutes...

    Freedom top seals or leak fix

    The seals on the panels look fine, I did clean and condition the panel seal as well. There seems to be a seal "convergence" issue, meaning the leak is coming in at a junction. If you look at the pic with the blue arrow, right above the right arm of the footmans loop is a little indentation on...

    Freedom top seals or leak fix

    Well the rain is here and so is the leak. 😖 The leak is possibly a little slower. It is dripping right at the pictured footmans loop, on the right post/leg. Now, it is possible the leak is traveling but that seems to be where the two tops meet as well. Frustrating. everything looks like it is...

    Freedom top seals or leak fix

    I have learned that my 2007 JKU came with a soft top and half doors. The hard top was added after 2010, or at least it has a 2010+ hard top and full doors on it now. The "freedom" tops are definitely 2010+ as the front latch has the later latch on the front middle section. I found that most of...

    This is what I have on my genright front fenders, not sure how old it is but it is very clear and almost non visible.

    Front Mud Guard / Flap

    Can we have some dialogue on the PPF? I think my front fenders have a clear something or other on them, I would like to do the same on the rear fenders.

    120VAC inverters on the trail

    A little follow up on the 1k inverter. I found a good location for this beast, under the back set middle, right over the sloping trans hump. Should go in easy enough. The inverter itself will have one receptacle available. It will also have the remote on/off and one receptacle at the back...

    Freedom top seals or leak fix

    Can we use the same cleaner/conditioner that is used on RV rubber seals, like around the pop outs?

    California So. Cal. 5+ trails

    Calico trails are open. Spring time is a good time to go as it’s not too hot. Big Bear is always a winner in the hot months. What type of trails do you usually run? I’m wanting to try clawhammer and nightmare in Johnson valley before summer.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I did an odd project today. New dome light fixture. I’ll start back about a month ago when I had a nice sound system installed. The overhead sound bar had some static noise and vibration when “enjoying” the sound. I accidentally tracked it down when I switched the dome light bulb. It was a...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Welcome to JK world. I bought my first JK about 4 months ago. So I’m not sure what the lift involves but do your research before settling on a specific brand of lift. A 3” might be more future proof but I am not the one to be throwing out opinions at this point. Enjoy it, make sure you have...
