Bestop Safari top
My JK Ulimited came with the factory hard top so I don't have the door surrounds that the soft top would have. Thus my safari top flops around and doesn't fit on the sides like I'd like.:sad: Kinda looks unfinished.
My solution...I'm going to build some sort of hard safari top, maybe incorperating a Yakima basket or something and bolt it to the cage. Gotta keep the Arizona sun off.
Anybody need a Bestop Safari top in black diamond?

MOPAR mirror relocator
So far my crappiest designed part is the MOPAR mirror relocation kit. It is just a TJ mirror mounted to a metal plate that sticks out way too much. No thought or engineering went into it. It was the only thing available at the time I bought it. I have the Rugged Ridge ones on BACKorder right now. They look much better and include a round cover for the mirror holes in the door.

Warrior junk and Bestop Safari
Lets see.. Hhmmm so many mistakes to make..!!
I special ordered corners without the license plate cutout from WARRIOR.. They didn't fit right.. sent them back saying get it right or refund.. No word from them, 2 weeks later, a refund showed up on my credit card acct. So I lost shipping..
I didn't like the Bestop safari.. Got rid of that..
Bought a Teraflex 2.5 BB.(used) Didn't even install it..
Going for broke with a Rancho Long Arm...

Due to some strange circumstances I was able to get a pretty nice discount on the MOPAR front winch bumper from my dealer. Now, after having seen all the other offerings out there, I could have spent my money much better.
The foglights on the bumper are an afterthought, the plastic covers on the crush cans are just waiting to get wrecked and look like crap, and for the price, even with the discount I got I would have been better off getting any number of the other aftermarket bumpers.

Well, after reading through this thread and seeing the post about the rugged ridge mirror bracket, I definately regret getting the MOPAR mirror bracket. It is cheaper and looks cleaner to do BOTH mirrors with those brackets than to do one with the MOPAR one. That and they supply the filler plate for the door.

Mopar=crap
So far all the MOPAR stuff I have is pretty shoddy. The slush mats look great, but the Husky liners provide better coverage. The Freedom Top panel bag is thin and cheaply made. The Misch one is much nicer, but way too expensive. The soft top boot is crap and is tearing already. I got that with the soft top though. Hoping someone makes a better boot soon!
