I leave my soft top retainer brackets on when using the hard top also. But, I am thinking your gas shocks may be the issue here the way you are describing it shutting. Try putting the retainer brackets back as they should hold the glass in place when it's closed but, also remove the gas...

Only 1/2 inch? Use a ratchet strap to pull it back. Attach it to bumper possibly? I had the opposite issue when i put in new control arms on mine. It was not far enough forward and i was able to use a ratchet strap hooked to the frame in the front to pull it forward slightly, But, yes as...

There is a piece of metal under my 2004 Chevy Suburban that vibrates/rattles when in drive with the brakes on. Goes away in Park. Really annoying ordering at drive throughs. I am wondering why I didn't think of this brilliant idea. Probably the heat shield on the exhaust. Is spray foam...

That's the drain for the cowl area. It did have a foam seal around the top where it meets the metal when new. but, it's just a drain so not really a big deal if it's missing in my opinion. You could probably make another one if's it bothering you.

What's funny is I've had all three of these things covered above happen to my jeep. Lol I see your from NC, My Jeep came from NC originally, My under cowl Vent area and drain tube were filled and clogged with pine needles when i first got her. If your not smelling Antifreeze and the water...

When I had a similar code on my 98. I had to replace the Pickup coil sensor in the distributor. And soon after it threw another code and I replaced the Crank Shaft position sensor. When yours cranks do you see the RPM Jump up on the dash gauge? Hoping someone else can chime in on the fuel...

Anyone here pull a teardrop or similar travel trailer? I'm currently looking at possibly getting a Road toad teardrop camper. Made with composite materials and very lightweight. I'd like to get it extremely light and should be able to stay under 1000lb with the below trailer. But, it...

I love mine, installed the harness and all over a year ago. And, I am just running the standard bulbs. Can't believe this pricing today. Some people are buying a 2nd set to store on a shelf. Joining that club. That's cheaper than buying dinner out even when including shipping. For me it...

The Hooke Road and UGT ones I see on Amazon now For the TJ look similar. Just a bit smaller in width and length. may fit better than mine and possibly not need the cover trimmed! I couldn't' find a decent priced TJ one when I did my install 4 years ago.

I'd say it clears the Tuffy by 1 inch below the seal. The one i purchased is no longer available. https://www.amazon.com/Tailgate-Aluminum-Foldable-Wrangler-Holding/dp/B075R75Y83?tag=wranglerorg-20 Table up. Sorry for crooked picture. lol Sun was blinding me.

You can reach it yes, It's a much tighter fit than the Bestop Instatrunk was. But you can still open the seat and tilt if forward if needed. The back seat frame does rub/scrape the enclosure slightly when I put the seat back in place. I have the 98 TJ not sure if the 03-06 back seats would be...

One more pic of table open. I forgot, i did have to trim the plastic cover plate for the third brake light wire cover and add a few washers on the upper right insert. Been about 4 yrs since it was installed. :)

I did the exact same thing. But, mainly for the clearance of a small cooler I have. the Bestop instatrunk was just a little too small. I did add a table also. Here is picture of mine and there is no clearance issue. I used the Terraflex Style (knockoff) Tailgate table for a JK but, it fit...
