Soft top was put on and then promptly put down and took it out for the first time topless this year. 90 degrees in Minnesota was freaking beautiful.
Then let the wife drive while I my buddy and I had some adult pops. Frightening.

I'm dreading putting the soft top on. Brand new top still in the box and not looking forward for the install. I guess some adult beverages will be needed for sure š
Hint: Go to your local Lowe's, Home Depot or carpet store and pick up a couple scraps/remnants on the cheap and staple them to the 2x4's and base.

This video helped a lot. It goes out of order a little bit, but honestly the visual help the video gives was welcomed! made the install go quite smooth.
OP
Thanks for the video, greatly appreciated. Glad it take 22 minutes for the install, lol.

22 minutes is a bit aggressive, but an uninterrupted 2 hours is easily doable. My huge struggle was I did it on a 65 degree day.... New soft tops don't' like "colder" weather.

Sunday Funday! Took the doors off and took my daughter on a road trip.
OP
Fabbed up brackets for mirrors to run with soft doors. The backing foam is a bit smaller and need to redo it, but for now it will do.
You'll have to post some pictures with your daughter here also.
I thought I'd start a thread about best friends
Here's my shadow, can't go anywhere without her.

With the warmer weather, dropped the tire pressure a couple of pounds and got the smooth(er) ride back.

What pressure are you running at? I use mine mostly on road and had thought of lowering mine also.
I drive mostly on road and have 35s I dropped to 25psi cold to keep them under 30 warm. It makes a huge difference with zero abnormal tire wear.

I haven't changed mine since I bought it. Running 35's also, just checked and they are at 36 psi. Might drop to 30 psi and see how much the ride gets better.
Also alot will depend on your wheel size on how much pressure to run.
OP
your ride will get much better at 30psi. On my Tj, I run my muds at 26psi being E rated tire
I started at 36psi and bounced all over the road. Several on this forum recommended between 24 and 26 based on their experience. Some of the best advice I have ever received.

The rims are 18's with E rated tires. I will give 30 psi a try and can move to 26 later. I just don't want the ride to get too sloppy, Jeeps aren't the best handling vehicles by far, lol.
