I had a blast in moab as well! Sadly, failed Kenny's climb on fins and things due to my transmission fluid pickup going dry and slipping out of gear at the main incline

I'll be rolling in tomorrow mid afternoon. Putting the gladiator to work on this trip.

Not super structural. But I welded a bottom support from frame to bumper. This is less for the bumper and more for the flat towing to Moab coming up. Glassless flux core Also added a readybrake

This is the sunrider kinda thing the new trektops do!

Yea! It's the trektop nx. The big kicker being that when the sides are off kids/friends can climb in from the side. But it's also a sunrider top. You can flip just the area over the driver and passenger back without fully removing it

What a PITA to put on. The back isn't fully zipped yet still. It's 50 degrees, not hot enough to help install it. But back to a soft top!

Looks like $250 for shipping not sure where to find a box that big.

The new soft top is here. Trektop twill. Now to get that hardtop sold so I can put this on!

Around 100lb from the shipping of the new one. That's with the steel skid plate

No body lift needed on the 97-02. Their website says it may be needed for 03 and newer https://genright.com/shop-by-vehicle/jeep-tj-97-06/jeep-tj-lj-crawler-ext-gas-tank-skid-plate-19-5-gal/

In pretty good condition albeit dusty(which I will clean up before selling) only a few years old, I think 4. I can find the purchase date if needed. It's the 97-02 version. Not sure how different the 02-06 version is. Swapped to a stretch tank so selling this one at a pretty good discount...

Anyway. The day was mostly swapping one genright tank for another. I had the extended range tank in but the goals for this jeep have changed. Instead of being my daily and road trip vehicle it's now the fun vehicle and will be aiming for more rock crawling than long camp trips. So I swapped...

What a day. It started with a run to ace because I needed to chase the threads on my engine mount(and drill not holes in my crossmember to fix the askew angle the engine was in the engine bay) This is all because after raising the trans up an inch or two the fan started hitting the shroud...

Here's the crack mentioned and the front corner has a bit of wear, as is normal from being taken on and off. It's currently covered in a solid dusting of redwood pollen

I was born and raised in socal. Santa Cruz is our go to up here though. It's got the same feeling as most of the socal beaches. Just super chill
