What did you do to your TJ today?

Nicked the new rear main seal putting it in.

Time to go chill in the A/C while I contemplate my life choices
 

That's a sweet fit. Love the TrekTop NX. I have ditched the white plastic stiffeners in the side windows. The corners aren't as drum tight as with them installed, but the windows are still tight, flap & wrinkle free and they are a thousand times easier to store when I take them out.

Has that made it easier to install the top? Mine is an absolute pain…

It’s a little easier for mine without those, but still tight.

I washed it yesterday and did my annual top scrub and RaggTopp conditioner application.

I need to get my sliders installed sometime…

OMG yes.
I started doing this with the Trektop on my JK. It was really so the side windows would roll up more easily for storage on the fly but since I am totally okay with the slight wrinkle in the rear corners as a trade-off I've stopped using the stiffeners.

Zipping everything back in is a breeze. No wresting with the zippers.

What cleaner & conditioner do you use?
I just keep the plastic clean with Plexus and give the top a general wash every week or so.

I’m gonna have to try it then!

Replaced the power steering lines. I bought Gates brand. Both lines interfered with each other right off the box, then contacted every single thing they could from the box up to the pump, including the high pressure line bending back and running through the pump reservoir itself. But, I muscled them into place. Hopefully they don't leak now.

I've been looking at zipper pulls since I've misplaced that hook twice already

Don’t pay for them. Takes two minutes to make them just like the Bartact pulls. If you’re not inclined to do it yourself, let me know. I’ll do them for you. I have a few different styles of ends for the pulls if you don’t like that cobra braid.

Edit.. That should have said NOT included.
