And for the little water I will get in rear, I'm not concerned because of my cargo box I built waterproof. Spring I'll have new top. This gotta last till I switch to hardtop first weekend of November. I can do it! Thanks again. FD

I'm sure you already know this but be careful with those tents. Working a few bike demos I've seen them take flight and no prisoners, best would probably be to throw a ratchet strap on it so you don't have to deal with a thrashed top and door or panel thrashed by angry Pop up tent

The feet are weighted down by 25# sand filled canvas bags.

I've seen them fly as well.

Thanks.

My cousin came up with this idea and I now have made six of them just to have two extra but they work flawlessly and can be carried around with no problems. They are cinder blocks cut in half, filled with concrete, all thread with butterfly nuts, and handles for ease of carry. Hope this helps and gives everyone an ideas as well for use. This is what we use for the 10x10 pop up tents.

Just added a decal from Alpha Vinyl. Trying to do a subtle Black Panther theme on my black jeep. Matte Black "Panther" Decal with a line drawing of BP's mask

Nope, my 08 Sirius antenna is in the same place, everyone who puts up a rack probably has the same problem

So post up what you did to your JK each week. Big mods or little mods we want to see them.

Great idea on the cinderblocks! I'll keep that in mind.

I took off the ripped... Correction: slashed roll bar padding and noticed my antenna on passenger side over b pillar.

I was always told it was under the center dash top cover over radio.

Guess you can't believe everything.

New top and padding to be ordered in next week or two.

There were a few other vehicles whose convertible tops were slashed in the area.

Pricks!

I finally washed my Jeep and restored my fender flares and rear bumper with "back to black" I'm really happy with the way it came out I hope it lasts! Has anyone used this stuff before? If it doesn't I'm just going to bedline them I think.
