I don't post often...but swapped my front bumper, wheels and jumped to 35's this year. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Not often I get to land on top of a mountain, but here's the view from a couple weeks ago:

It made me laugh a bit that the couple that climbed out of this joke were wearing as much bling as their car (yes, I use that word intentionally) and they were picking up food from my church food pantry. I don't judge without knowing a story and recognize that circumstances can lead people to...

With a coupon that 12k # winch can be had for $299. MIGHT be better than a Craigslist-bought beat-up-old-secondhand winch. I've also considered looking at Engo (they also have some inexpensive LED lights). Engo has some oddities in their winch-lineup: built in air-compressor, LED spotlights, or...

There comes a time in a man's life when he must recognize the futility of existence with a 2-door Jeep. A family of 4, doth need little encouragement to sacrifice rear portals of entry when 2 members walk upon 4 legs and persist in flying sail-like ears in the breeze of yon topless Jeep. Alas...

So...since I ordered the wife's new JK, I'm thinking my 08 is gonna be feelin extra lethargic. I'm coming up on 60k miles, so its about time for some basic maintenance anyways. In the 'old days it seems to me everyone talked about high efficiency plugs and spark plug wires as a cheap way to...

We just ordered our 2013 JKU and would like to keep the interior a bit cleaner than the 08 it's replacing. I have Cordura Superhides from Marathon Seat Covers for my 2-door and have really been happy with them. They fit like a glove, are durable, and don't hold onto dog hair from our 2 Weims...

I'd post pics, but I utilize the interweb only on my iPhone and iPad and haven't mastered the art of uploading. Also, I installed our top a couple weeks ago and it's too dark outside right now to go attempt a demonstration for photographing purposes

Oh yeah, forgot about the top edges. These will also have a retaining plastic piece that must be forced into a slot on the outside edge of the door surrounds. Easy Peasy. Once proficient and the top is nicely stretched, it will take you about 3 minutes to put the top down, 5 to get it back up...

Now, the sides must be stretched into place... Now try going to the back of the Jeep and notice along the bottom edge of the corner flaps of the canvas there will be a plastic retainer, this must slide into the slot on the outside top edge of the jeep tub. Pull down and use the palms of your...

You will find a velcroed flap on the slanted part of each rear roll bar. There is a metal bracket that needs to be screwed onto the rollbar using 2 small torx-headed screws. The bracket should have a slight curve on one side that will hug the roll bar and then a second side bent with holes into...

Well, if the top has been use before, then it won't be much trouble, but if it's brand new, then expect to get sweaty. For a new or nearly new top, Pick a nice warm sunny day. Lay the canvas out in the sun to warm up, this will allow it to stretch much easier. Next, you'll need to find the...

Is it the newer (10-12) model or older (07-09) model? I could write up the older style, but the new one is probably quite a bit different.
