I appreciate everything that has been posted so far on this topic (THANK YOU), but I can't seem to find any post on this site that has the bulb type for the hardtop light. I'm asking specifically about a 97-02 hardtop, but I'm sure the 03-06 hardtop has a lightbulb as well. Does anyone know that...

Mine does...is this not a factory hardtop? I have a '99 Sahara:

Thanks Chris, this is really helpful. What about the interior bulb that's built into the hardtop? Some may call it the cargo area bulb?

No, I was talking about the console armrest. It's made out of a different material than anything else in the Jeep. The SEM paint just won't stick to it.

Sorry for the late reply, @Camhabib , but yes, I bought and used the entire prep kit: SEM Soap, Sand Free, and the Plastic & Leather Prep. There are specific instructions on how to use all 3 of these before painting. It takes time and adds to your total cost significantly, but they say this...

I just finished installing a new front bumper on my '99 Sahara — this one from EAG, to be exact: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BDL3BFB/?tag=wranglerorg-20 It has integrated LED fog lights. Since my TJ had the stock fog lights disconnected by a previous owner, I simply connected these...

I'm looking for both the Inboard and Outboard Rear Bow Brackets (both left and right sides) for the Bestop Sunrider Soft Top. Part numbers: 315.68, 315.69, 315.70, 315.71

I can confirm that the Sure Coat is also very delicate. (Sure Coat is SEM's water-based version of Color Coat.) Since I've painted my door panels, console, and dash, small areas have rubbed off. Since the Sure Coat is the same color as the panels, the rubbed-off areas don't look that bad...

Amazing job, @intheSFValley. I didn't know it was possible to change the color of your interior panels so dramatically. You even painted the steering wheel shroud, which gives your interior a unique touch. You now have a one-of-a-kind color combination overall. I'm curious for my own...

UPDATE: I don't have any photos yet, but SEM Sure Coat Medium Camel 5020 has been working great for me. To my eyes, it's indistinguishable from the OEM 1999 Sahara interior plastic, which is either Camel or Spice depending on who you ask. I'm using it to restore a stained console and door...

Nice price for a front wiper motor. Anyone know where I can find a cheap rear wiper motor? I can't seem to find one anywhere.

@89grand, I liked the video and agree there is a difference. Did you use the factory speaker baffles or no? I wonder if that's why they put those baffles in there, to seal out off-axis frequencies. I don't have mine currently (my dog ate them, actually). Either way, I think I will do this...

Thanks for the tip. I've been thinking lately about going with the P-8PTD too, so this is a point in their favor. I honestly don't know how I would even begin to lift the rear seat. I've already broken 2 bolts trying to remove the rear seat pivot brackets. I think I could live with the sub...

My 1999 Sahara has SAE 7/16"-14 bolts.

Can anyone recommend a good touch-up paint pen for the Dark Tan hardtop? I see a lot of posts on this site for black hard tops (SEM black trim paint, which is fantastic) but nothing for tan. I just need a small amount for scratches. I have a '99 Sahara so I'm looking for VK9. Only thing I...
