Another one...

Whoever came up with all rubber hood latches was a moron. No wonder they have an internal latch. A good headwind and the ole hood bounces all around.

Whatever happened to the nice spring loaded latches that came on my '69 CJ5? lol

And another one...

Ok, this requires setup.

So I mounted my CB antenna mount to the center taillight post up fairly high. Now for the lesson:

Make sure, before you drill holes and mount it, that you level it with the tailgate CLOSED first...not open.

Default CB Antenna #2

Make sure you know exactly how high it is.
Parking deck pipes will shred it.

When turning around on a small landing that's covered with grass and bark...you might want to walk it first to make sure there's not a 2 1/2' deep ditch, hidden under it all...prior to dropping your front end into it.

After installing a CB firestick, dont forget about it when you go through an automatic car wash...

Make sure the front cross support poll doesn't flip underneath when taking down the soft top. Nothing worse than telling people how easy it is to take the top down and then looking like a moron!

After re-installing your hardtop...Make sure rear washer fluid hose is attached before you squirt your back window to clean....

make sure rear floor mats are secured down while doorless and topless.
