I just did this with the tailgate bar brackets. Amazon showed up and I promptly found two sets in a box of parts. Thankfully I can return them.

So this thing doesn’t have the roll bar speaker pods anymore. The stock sub is blown as well. Contemplating using one of these JBL RallyBars and calling it a day. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7YMMP46?tag=wranglerorg-20 Anyone have any thoughts or experience with these? I’ve done a full...

Pretty sure I’ve seen that floating around somewhere.

It’s a factory top. Is there a difference in terms of the bracket? Plan on putting a Replace A Top from Bestop on. I have one sitting in the box in the corner of the shop.

I’ll definitely shop around. Small town Pagosa doesn’t give me a ton of options. That was with me removing the hood and bringing it to them, no time rush. Just seemed pretty high to me for a hood. I had envisioned something around the $500 mark. Where I got that number from, I don’t know, lol...

This is one thing that I want to get right. Of all of my TJ’s, every single one of them had an issue with the hood that didn’t bother anyone else - but I noticed it every flipping time getting in. Would I be better off removing all the paint and starting bare? I’ve got access to a compressor...

Got things moved around in the shop to fit the jeep for the winter. That’s been difficult since we started building it out as a climbing gym. Trying to figure out why I’m going to do with the hood. Local shop quoted me $1100 just for the hood. Thinking about trying things myself for that...

@Chris - Can we move this one to a build thread as well? Thanks!

That’s a point of frustration. I had let a guy from church borrow it to pick up his vehicle in New Mexico, about two weeks after acquiring it myself. He jacked it into a concrete barrier on the way and ripped off the fender, broke the front axle and destroyed the wheel. That was 2 years ago...

This Jeep is a few inches wider than my trailer at 85”. I didn’t want to make any permanent modifications to this trailer, as I use it for other vehicles as well. Stacked some 2x12’s and a piece of OSB to make some ramps to keep me off my fenders. All in $65. I’m sure there’s a better mounting...

Hey, thanks for this! I’m about to do the same thing! Happy to find someone did the legwork.

I believe in miracles! Jeep showed up. Didn’t pay a dime until delivery. Night and day difference between the other broker I had been using. Not sure when I’m going to have time to dig into this thing with the holidays. But will soon! Ordered a bed rug kit for the front and brackets I knew...

We checked clearances with his tractor while I was there. It was stupid cold though. I’m a pansy when it comes to humidity. So didn’t take my phone out to take photos while we were doing it. The 16” ORI’s were set to have 5” of up, and 11” down. 145 PSI in the front and 135 PSI in the rear. We...

I’ve got a back up, lol

haha. There’s a lot of time in between now and then. If I don’t stay off marketplace, I might just show up with a buggy too.

I’m making active plans to be there the full time this year.

Well, I woke up to a Zelle refund from the first broker. The one I used for Houston, but who’s driver cancelled on this one. Didn’t expect to see that - considering it a Christmas miracle. It’s on a truck, estimated delivery on Thursday. 🤞 As you can see, we weren’t getting that back...

That makes a lot of sense. I wasn’t trying to be sly with multiple brokers. I was trying to find someone quickly after the first guy canceled. Had hoped to line something up in the few days I was there. I realize now I likely screwed it up more trying to be proactive in trying to find someone...

Thought y’all might enjoy my conversation with the broker… I called and cancelled with him after the driver didn’t show up yesterday in the allotted time frame, but primarily because he wouldn’t bring it past Colorado Springs. Mind you, I used this guy a few weeks ago and everything worked out...

I didn’t think winter could get more depressing than last year for us in the San Juans, but it certainly feels that way right now. Nothing on the radar for the next 10 days either. Was in shorts and a t-shirt this afternoon. I’m putting the snow stuff away and getting my climbing stuff back...
