What did you do to your TJ today?

[John Gil]

Finally got the tonneau cut and edges cleaned up. I purposely left it proud at the tailgate not knowing exactly how how much overhang would look good. It is pretty close in line with the bed on the sides. No holes have been drilled in it yet. I have a thought but not wanting to sway opinions what do y’all think about the rear overhang? It will be painted to match the body.

I love the "pick up" hardtop. Where did you get it?

 

[Baltimoreed]

Came from an outfit called GR8TOPS in SC. I drove down for an overnight and they did my install but they will ship for a diy install. Nice guys.

They didn’t offer a cover for the bed?

 

[Baltimoreed]

They have a soft tonneau that they install but the center brace interfered with the use of the trunk. The brace would have to be removed each time the trunk was opened so I kept the trunk and didn’t do the soft tonneau.

Installed Smittybilt Neoprene seat covers. Look good. Hope they hold up well.

Where did you get the console cushion?

Is there a design consideration with the overhang? If not, I'd trim it to the same tolerance as the sides.

1/4", there's overkill and then there is the stuff you do.

Saturday, I went to watch the Dawgs beat Notre Dame. Here she is just before we headed out to the tailgate. Go Dawgs!

Not if these young ladies are looking for a new spot to hang out on. Might be a little more stable than balancing on that bar.

Hell, I bet you could even put a pole mount on that puppy for camp site charades to keep it kid friendly.

Not a Georgia fan but I bet you rocked that tailgate!

Replaced the OPDA on my 2005 TJ with a Crown Automotive unit at 65,028 miles. Reinstalled the original sensor. The old OPDA showed some wear. I am glad I got this done.

Looks wise I agree with bringing it back to the same placement as the sides. But that depends on what method of seal you are going to use between the bed and diamond plate. HD has black foam seals that are thick with adhesive back. Not sure how long they would last. But cheap to replace.

Anyway my only argument for the extra overhang is if it's going to help keep extra water out. Otherwise depend on the seal and make it all the same overhang all the way around the back.

Looks awesome btw.

Went through a mud puddle this weekend a bit to fast with my doors off — enough said

I bet it seemed like a really cool idea at the moment huh?

Replaced entire cooling system using Chris’ Cooling System Overhaul thread. Also ordered a set of Patagonia 33x12.5R15’s. Hopefully being cheap with tires wont bite me in the ass. Im hoping to get some Currie and 35’s in my life next year.

It's been raining for two days now still going to continue to rain today but I can still find a use for my TJ

Oh and I put the soft top on it just in case I have to move it while it's raining

 

[cclarke802]

New ac control and got my refrigerator installed on a slider in the back so it pulls out past the rear door threshold

Changed the oil in both diffs. Not sure when it was done last but the rvt silicone was a whitish gray which is a color of rvt I haven't seen before. Possibly factory Mopar? Had a metallic sheen in the old oil but spiders and ring gears look good. No chunks anyway.

When I did mine a couple months ago...same thing, had some iron filings type metal from the front but nothing to worry about.
