What did you do to your JK today?

[Speartip]

Once again Outstanding Canadian pics. So I just tried to watch that Goofy movie Cocaine Bear. Thems Black Bears in your hills?

Yes many black bear sightings
Lots of droppings at lower elevations . They seem to like areas close to rivers and previously logged out areas .
Fish and berries .
Supposedly a few grizzlies on the island but not many.
As you head North on the main land or east towards Rocky Mountains is more grizzly country .

Was supposed to go to NitNat over the weekend .
It was one of those well hold up a moment let’s go check this first . Found a couple more high elevation shelf roads . Amazing looooong trails. Port Renfrew/ Lake Cowichan area.
NitNat next weekend .

@Speartip, looks like a lovely place. I used to do hardcore wheeling. I've run every 10/10 trail in Colorado. But as I get older, I find I'm more interested in scenic trails instead.

We don’t really have much for dedicated rock crawling trails around here . Up Island I heard there is kinda a rock garden of sorts but that’s about it . Some of the trails have cool obstacles like major wash outs that swallow up the Jeep when your at the lowest point . Many of those on a few trails . Quite a few really long , very steep inclines with larger loose shale/ rock . And of course the shelf roads .
But nothing like Rubicon Trail .TBH I’ve watched several uTube videos on the Rubicon Trail . Prefer over landing .
Less of a chance to bust an axle, ujoint or worse .

Not that we have that terrain here. But my wife and JK are scared of heights. All Good

Picked up this Vector Offroad E-Dock with the Vector phone mount off Offerup for dirt cheap. Very nice piece and the phone mount is easily adjustable for a tight hold. Has great reviews and can't wait to use it.

Got the new soft top on. Just a Smittybilt because I think the next one I get will be one the motorized MyTop auto tops.

Looks really good .
Didn’t know they made a motorized top for Jeeps
That’s kinda cool

My Top Motorized Top
Now that is awesome

 

[Dirty Dog]

Cool top, but I bet it's pretty pricey.

Around $4500 with install. I really want it but keep talking myself out of it.

$5500 installed based on the YT comments. Very cool idea but a bit steep for my usage.

Speaking of tops…
My old top was showing some age, found a nice OEM twill top with all the hardware.

 

[Largehit71]

The only problem I had with my old top was the back window. Zipper was shot and it was a horrible experience taking it off and putting it back on.

My Bestop has lasted a good two years so far but I can't help but wonder how much UV damage the desert sun is doing to it.

I'd worry about that right before the warranty ends.

 

[Cimmerian]

I'd worry about that right before the warranty ends.

Oh, my warranty is up and they won't warranty for weather conditions anyway. It sat in the box after I bought it for almost a year because I still lived in an apartment and had nowhere to store my hard top. Think what I'm going to do is just buy new vinyl windows when the time comes.

That's why I haven't done the body lift yet because of the rear metal gap and Front fender gap. Maybe I can dream up some mudflap type material to fill that rear gap.

A company on ebay or Amazon sells a "Gap filler kit" but the 1.25 gap is so minor, I didn't see a need for it.
