And another reason to have a soft top versus a hard top. Hard top window would have shattered and most likely severely damaged the top itself, possibly to the point where it would not be safe to drive with it still on.

I'm sure glad I had switched my tops before going down to Moab. I love my hard top, but like you said, it would have been completely destroyed if it was on. but, it's hard to tell there is any damage to the soft top and the window. Nothing a small strip of black duct can't fix.

wow, I love the pickle, I took my 08 FJC through with 33's and just the rear locker... it was epic!

made my buddies a little upset, they are fully built trail rigs with 35/37's locked front and rear and full cages... I didn't hit the wall though.

I'm confused, do you own a Jeep or an FJ Cruiser
