    Soft tops: frameless vs frame

    The TJ has that also. It is to stop rain from pooling up over your head. It is removable easily for when you flip the top back or remove it altogether. It just pinches in the door surrounds I am assuming the same way as the JK. Not necessary to run if you don't have to worry about rain.

    Soft tops: frameless vs frame

    Mine did from Bestop. It came with everything because everything is slightly different. It might not have come with the tailgate bar. I don't remember if I am reusing that or not, but I know the clips it sinks into are new and it came with the windshield bar for sure because you actually have...

    Soft tops: frameless vs frame

    The frameless doesn't work with factory door surrounds or at least the Bestop don't. If you order the Bestop, it came with their surrounds. Their surrounds have a special pin for the Sunroof.

    Just got back from Munds ORV park last weekend: ( Sorry no Jeep in the picture, but it was in the shop getting rear upper control arms welded in this weekend. So it was GMC to the rescue )

    Soft tops: frameless vs frame

    I have a best top frameless. I love everything about it, except where the bar in the back goes across the tailgate there is a small gap. It isn't ever a problem except for when it rains. It leaks, but here in AZ when it rains it doesn't mess around so I can accumulate some water back there, but...

    Rear Upper Control Arm Brackets Sheared Off Frame

    OK Final update: @bobthetj03 was right I totally over-reacted to the phone call about the vibration. I guess maybe I should complain about the vibration, but I was fine I just figured that was the price you paid for having a 4 inch lift and aggressive tires. I barely notice it. I guess when the...

    Rear Upper Control Arm Brackets Sheared Off Frame

    yeah, but do you think they used a 8mm wrench in a shop with lifts? Especially when the 6 or 5 in my case skid plate bolts are right there in the open? You are right though I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but the service writer didn't seem like he knew what he was talking about. Which scares...

    Rear Upper Control Arm Brackets Sheared Off Frame

    Update: I got a call from Letzroll, they said that they were finished, but when the tech was driving it there was a vibration at 55. They told me my front driveline was bad, but it has a tom woods on it and it is so new that the sticker is still on it. So they said it was loose and they...

    Rear Upper Control Arm Brackets Sheared Off Frame

    So it looks like this is pretty common, I am going to drop it off at the fab shop tomorrow. They are going weld on new aftermarket HD ones to replace them. I will follow up with pics when they are finished. In case anybody is interested in the Arizona area, I am going to Letzroll in Mesa. They...

    Rear Upper Control Arm Brackets Sheared Off Frame

    So these are double adjustable. I don't remember using a ratchet strap although I don't want to argue it either as I did this a couple of years ago, and honestly don't remember, but I don't remember fighting it much either. In fact. I pretty much installed the rear diff and set it and forget it...

    Rear Upper Control Arm Brackets Sheared Off Frame

    Here is a weird one, I think. I was just changing the oil in my TJ, and I was greasing all of the fittings. I have the Currie Lift so if you are familiar you know there are a million and a half zerk fittings. When I got to the back I thought something looked weird and on the drivers side the...

    Arizona Sedona, Sept 26, 27, 30, Oct.1st.

    So I had my gears done at Letzrol. Here is a recap as I have told this story before. I bought an 8.8 Ford rear end for my 98 TJ. I ordered 4:56 gears and an elocker to put in at the same time since they had a jig and needed to weld on the Ford to TJ parts for me. They quoted me what I thought...
