Default Pics...

With the camera phone in the Publix parking lot.



With the camera phone someplace in Orlando.



What do you guys think about the half door with the hard top? I don't think it looks bad, but I think some Best Top sliders would look sweet.

Anyway...

I think the hard top and half doors looks kick ass

I spotted one at the dealer months ago and have liked the looked since first seeing it. I kinda wish I had a hard top but space around here is limited as is. Oh, and I'd need the half doors too but those mamajamas are bookoo dollas

Thankfully mine came with the half doors. I just wish bestop would come on and make some glass sliders for the JK.

No, but on the way back today I think I drove through a freaking tornado. No leaks, so cool. I appreciate your concern.

Thanks Eric!


Question. On the freedom top, there are two spots of paint not matching the rest of the top on the front pieces directly above the where the pieces screw into the top through the roll cage assembly. These spots are about the size of a half dollar. Anyone else have these?

umm that sounds like they screwed the screws thru the panel and making a hole, look like touch up paint? take a pic

if you ever run the panels without the rear section you have to flip the little black feet down on the back part of the panels, they will rest on the sound/roll bar, it makes up for the thickness of the rear part of hard top not being there.

mine did not have the two spots

Yeah. That's what I am worried about. There is no apparent damage to the area, and they don't leak. I tried to run the screws into the panels and the thread is not long enough to hit the outer shell.

I will take some pics in the AM.

how were the panels on when you were trying to put it thru them? lol...the only time they would be long enough is if the panel is on without the feet flipped down, I THINK I recall some people cutting them shorter because they hit or were worried about them hitting I think you are fine since its not leakin

I was screwing them on the garage floor! It didn't leak on the way home, but I am not so sure it won't leak. We will see...
