I took the doors off and tried out the new Cloverpatch convert-a-top my wife got me for X-mas. A couple notes about using it, first unlike what the instructions say, there's no rolling up the sail panels as they say, the re-enforcement pieces inside prevent that from happening so instead I stuffed the ends into the pouches and strapped them down at the base of the seatbelt rollers. I also had to invest in a couple compression straps for the top to keep the panels from acting like air brakes while driving. Overall though I like the look, almost Willys MB-esque...
If that's not enough I re-mounted my doors-off mirrors and I also put on the new Teraflex stickers, thanks guys!!!

No serious stuff YET. Got a few new toys though. Bought a new air compressor, air tools, and a plastic welder...among a few other goodies. Tomorrow...when I decide to get my lazy arse out of the bed...I am gonna do the stubby front bumper mod. Already had the Dewalt sawzall and unused metal blades. After the bumper mod...oil change on the JK and the GF's mini van (read: loser cruiser according to my 9-year-old son). BBQ kebabs tomorrow night once it is all done. I love my life.
