2 door or 4 door? When all is said and done I think the 4 door provides a better platform for this type of usage. Agree. Of course, it really depends on the actual terrain you anticipate encountering and how much stuff you'll bring along, including people. I think some of the...

Apparently the Bronco guys like this so much they are replicating the look, too... 🤷🏻

JLUR 😜

I like that better!

Like most purchases it comes down to the asking price to determine if it's a good deal for you. I paid a bit more for mine as I wanted a later model JK to try and avoid some of the larger engine related issues. Others have purchased earlier model years for a lot less and been fine. For any...

I was about the say the same thing. I assume the 3.8 heads are aluminum - there should be a helicoil to work with this. Maybe this one? https://www.amazon.com/Heli-Coil-Helicoil-5334-14-Thread-Repair/dp/B0002SRF4O?tag=wranglerorg-20

Definitely! I've learned over the years that it's a case where you pick the right tool for the job. My shed isn't finished inside so the sprayer was the ticket for all the exposed studs, etc. I wouldn't use it to paint drywall though. It might be faster for some, but not me. 😂

I painted the inside of my shed last Summer using my Graco sprayer for the first time. Worked really well!

Today I switched over to the "new to me" soft top. Acquired it in two purchases. The frame, brackets, surrounds, etc (and a worthless cover) was $25. A replacement cover in decent shape and tinted windows was $125. Not sure if I'm going to like this or not so I was happy to go forward...

The 3.6 in 2012 can be problematic for several reasons. The LH head had valve seat recessions issues and the well known cam/lifter issue. Do you know if either of these have been already addressed?

That's as good a thought as any! It does sound like an electrical issue to me.

Back in the late eighties I worked at a Nissan dealership. Their entry level Sentra always impressed me with its acceleration for a little sh*tbox. Essentially they used the same theory, @Anybodyhome , low final drive and a large ratio on the throttle body cam to open it quickly. Of course...

My belt just started making some noise so I'm going to change it. I've heard the tensioner is a pain but I'm about to experience it for myself!

It's a good idea, but I wasn't planning on using this material anyway. There are a few soft top skins for sale cheap that have all the windows and are in good shape. I'll marry one of those to this frame and try it out to see if I like it or not. If I do, I'll keep my eye out for a...

For reference... Header installed correctly, but now with "custom" vent holes. Just have to laugh sometimes at what people hack up. 😂

Took it apart and indeed, the PO installed the header totally wrong. I took the opportunity to install it the right way just to learn how to do it, even though that fabric is trashed even more than I thought. It has ~27 screw holes in the front from the incorrect install. So that's good...

Well there is one in Indiana for sale for $1500 if anyone wants to roll the dice...

After staring at this a bit longer I'm thinking whoever replaced the top did so incorrectly... The header has the Bestop insignia stamped into it so I don't think there is anything weird going on there.

I've been contemplating getting a soft top although the jury is still out. 😂 I'll probably pick up a used one and try it out to see if it's to my liking or not. Many for sale locally don't include the rollbar brackets and/or door surrounds. One popped up with worn out fabric that I grabbed...

I don't think his are removed yet. I read the original post to mean that he thinks that's the problem (or a solution to his problem) and wants to know what will happen if he removes them. I could be wrong, though. Agree! I'm not an advocate for removal at all. In Michigan, however...
