Did I miss it, which LEDs are these new ones? Asking for a friend. Me, I'm the friend.

This trailer?

Wasn't today but Monday. Finally pulled the trigger on Bartact seat covers, took advantage of the minimal savings for Cyber Monday. UPS says they're in Illinois today, with expected delivery to me in Michigan tomorrow. I wanted to recover the seats with original color Sahara tan and green, but...

I'm Team Soft Top Full-time as well, so I'm definitely thinking about the theft issue. Might have to reconsider the tactical (Molle) version. I appreciate you circling back to the actual question, though! I'll probably keep checking on resellers for sales, but will call Bartact as well. Thanks!

Resurrecting this thread, since I have finally both the bucks and the opportunity to buy Bartact covers with the molle grids. Has anyone seen these on sale anywhere? I'm hoping for a Black Friday miracle!

Go dressed as a Star Trek away team for maximum cosplay nerdiness...

Lots of Cornish miners emigrated to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (the U.P.) to mine copper, and brought the pasty with them. Every time I get back to the north part of the mitten, I’ll ask at the party store “who makes the best pasty around here?” and grab a few for the freezer. Yoopers...

Spongy pedal just as I pulled up to the house last week meant some kind of brake fail: Pinhole leak in the hard line along the axle. Ordered a Dorman complete set of lines, since, rust belt. Of course, knocked off the bleeder nipple trying to get the rusty fitting off at the backer plate...

Not the wife's, definitely mine. Although down 40 pounds in 10 months (no GLP-1 drugs involved), the OEM driver seat foam still sucked

Since this thread got bumped to the top, I'll chime in as well. Had the driver side lower seat foam in my cart for a while, but switching to the TJ as my summer daily moved this repair up the "to do" list. As mentioned, it took me roughly an hour to swap out the crumbling, broken-down foam for...

Awesome, way to keep one of the family on the road and making smiles!

I'm in the same boat, with a frame that has been in either NY or MI since being built in 2001. I have the Saf-T-Caps on hand already, and am looking at options (having a shop do the work vs. me doing all the prep and getting a mobile welder to visit). Some on this forum will chastise you for not...

This is genius. I haven't been replacing bolts unless I damage them, but I have been hitting the threads with a wire wheel and cleaning them up. The hardware is cheaper than my time, so that ends now. Thanks for the tip!

I'm guessing Silver Lake for the sand dunes, but where was this fun little mud puddle?

Welcome! Now that the weather is finally reasonable here in the mitten, I'm ramping up the schedule of TJ repairs. This forum is an internet anomaly, the signal to noise ratio is skewed way towards helpful, good info.
