    Strange cruise control problem

    When I was looking to try figuring mine out, I'd read through the FSM to try locating where the problem may be. When I looked through there, the brake switch was the point where I stopped with mine, but that was the only part left that made any sense. Before I stopped, I tested the wiring...

    Strange cruise control problem

    Mine doesn't. Still haven't made any more attempts to try figuring it out the problem with mine. Anyone tried with theirs?

    What is the OPDA and do I need to change mine?

    Unless things have changed over the past 4 years or so, my understanding from reading the experiences of others, is that the new Mopar cam position sensors are a problem also. Those who still had, or managed to locate an original sensor by means of ebay, CL , etc., those guys had no more issues...

    Better than a Trasharoo? Super easy how-to

    On another note, I want to throw this into Photoshop so bad.😬 Maybe get rid of the background and have you hopping along or something. Oh no! Or maybe on your knees doing something there with your hands. Hood ornament maybe? 🤔 Endless opportunities! Hahaha Good stuff, man. That gave me a...

    Better than a Trasharoo? Super easy how-to

    Very cool. It may only be a little cheaper, but it sounds like the durability difference will greatly make up for it. Good idea!

    Cool. Thanks! I did a quick search, but nothing came up for it as being available separately. Seeing that little graphic of it does explain how they have it attaching though. I'm going to do a little more digging and see what I can come up with. We have yet another potential hurricane about to...

    It you will, yeah. Thanks. I can take that part number and see what I can find out about it. After I put that block in there, I realized that I could use those to mount a brace into. I've got some 1/4" aluminum flat bar, but the length won't be enough. I'd have to buy an 8' piece and cut it down...

    That's not a bad idea. I like to do that sometimes. More times than not some of those projects can turn into something better than the alternatives. SO, I threw another hail mary. I went to pull the top off and snap a picture to show you what the door surrounds look like, and an idea hit me...

    Ah. Yeah, I did see that in another picture. So I guess that bar is for framed soft tops. On another note, I called them back and got a RA number to send it all back. I made one last attempt by going and picking up longer bolts that would allow the bolts to be started, and bar to be rolled...

    I only saw the one style after I entered in my make and model. I have now seen that they have now made a "Factory Style" that appears to have been done correctly. Atleast partially. I called back and talked with tech support this morning. He looked at the pictures that I sent over to the...

    Yep that's the kit. And those surrounds do look very similar to the factory surrounds. Minus the slot for the bar. I'll snap a picture of these and show you what they look like. What's really bizarre with this top is how freely it pops loose from the door sorrounds when I push upward on the...

    Oh yeah, I could come up with something that would allow a bar to be put up there. I haven't seen the bestop surrounds, but the factory surrounds have places that partially wrap the bar where they screw down. Aside from that, its just the flat "surround part". That probably didn't draw out a...

    I don’t believe mine do. Mine are the factory surrounds. When I looked at yours in the picture, I was wondering why yours looked different than mine in that area. So, the bestop surrounds is what I'm seeing in your picture? I'm the same as you with the flapping on the tail-end of the top. I...

    Exactly, yeah. I put a bestop bikini top on a Scrambler that I worked on last year and that's the way it was. Attached to the footman loops on the wheel wells. I don’t have the scrap around the seat belt loop. I started to do it that way, but it pulled downward moreso than rearward. Here's how...

    That's what I'm thinking. Seems like I remember there being some stick-on things like that at Lowe's. Little felt bumpers and whatnot. What I'd really like to do is stitch in some different rear straps. It seems to me that they would have put straps on there that have a j-hook that would grab...

    That looks about the same as mine. Here's a picture from a different view. Took a couple more pictures of the inside. I called and taked with bestop tech support. After sending pictures to her to look at, she said that the header bar is sitting in the wrong position, which I suspected...

    Hm. I'm not really sure why the safari top doesn't come with one the aluminum bars then. That's not a big deal though. I think I have a couple strips of aluminum flat bar that I could make something up with. Does the NX top have a header bar that comes separately? With this one, I'm not sure...

    Turns out that it does have the ability to fasten to the door surrounds. Thats a relief. Pulled the surrounds out of storage and got them on. I'm not entirety sure of my plan or my origami skills for the wad of fabric in the corner, but atleast there's some headway made. I read online...
