What did you do to your TJ today?

It's supposed to be 90 today, so I was going to try out my 3M flame red vinyl wrap to cover my windshield frame. Tested a piece and it's a NO GO. Color is about 3-4 shades too light. I will keep searching for a darker red.I decided to paint the door handles when it gets above 60 today.

Good job! I need to do that.
If we had an award for best cosmetics you would be up there at the top.Painted door handles with satin black. I think I might need to change to matte black.

This is me testing one of the six lights I’m looking at putting cross the light bar- The whole scheme is to keep the stanchions on the a pillars so reinstalling the rack is painless when needed.
If you look close you can see the light bar that I’m resting my hand on-
Hopefully I can post some better pictures this evening.

Correct - under Care and Maintenance/ Proper Ownership guidelines in the forum manual, see the acceptable structures section, open, portable coverings larger than 10 x 15, when properly anchored, are deemed permissable.
Yeah, You need to take a hard stand on this one...
Like maybe it stays that way or she moves out or something....
Boy we are a good forum.
Was probably "Hecho-ed en" the same factory as everybody else's 2771...
Give it some time I’m sure some of the “shine” will fade. But from the pictures it looks good.
Light bar set up- gets more paint - you commercial workers will recognize the uni-strut

Got the light bolts wired for the license plate and vinyl wrapped the white outline because it just looks better.
I have sticker bombed the inside of my gate. Do you have a clear coat or something protecting yours?
My hope as well. If nothing else, I'm the forum's gambling guinea pig.
Not if you live in Texas! !
we had a lot of cars with longhorns when I lived there.
My TJ came with a Bestop bikini top. However, it didn't include the windshield header channel. I greatly enjoy the top off feeling of the TJ. I wonder if it is worth it to get the header channel so I can install the the bikini top or not, or just run it completely topless.
I think it’s individual.....i love no top, the bikini is a buzz kill ...but it stops bad heat and helps with pop up showers-
The header is the best plan and give yourself the option if the top is off anyway
I’ve ran about every variation-
Love no top day and night the best- but my worst jeep rides were wonderful.
I have some uv protective spray, and I also have big sheets of 3m paint protection film... I hadn't decided yet which one or both. Or if I'm just going to let it weather. It's all laid over a single sheet of 3m vinyl over top a bare aluminum skin from savvy so it's all easily reversible. What'd you do?

I drove a couple days without anything after removing my hard top. I loved it. However, I really like the Trektop top to keep the sun off. I may still remove the very top of the Trektop from time to time, especially when trail riding.
Make sure you get the removable header. It uses the hard top latch system.

I like having some kind of top over me, be it my safari top or my full top with just the windows out, just for the shade alone. It's too hot for me in full on summer here in SC with the top completely off. I keep my Spiderweb Shade on under my soft top just in case I want to drop the top completely. Honestly, the only times I've enjoyed the top completely off in my area have been Oct -Dec and about Mar - Apr, depending on the pollen.
