Those boxes are interesting. Yes, is love to see more pics.

Thanks?
You got it. Turns out I had less than I thought. Most are redundant ones similar to these at slightly diffrent angles.


Seat tub no carpet

Then just take the tub out when transporting with the dog. Takes like 30 to 45 seconds

Thanks for sharing. Got me really thinking this carpet thing.
When I ordered my base sport I was hoping for a carpet delete but no such thing. Would have loved a rubber floor mat option.

Get the soft top. I ran mine last summer pulled back but was able to leave it mostly dry in safari mode. pulled back I don't notice its there, and the JT stayed mostly dry during storms. Also helped keep me from freezing on cold nights since doors off plus top off can be a little much at 50 degrees

Soft top just isnt for me. Don't like the look closed, front opened or fully opened. It looks pretty good removed ? though.

No hate though, I get the appeal. Just not for me.

Then you might want to look at one of the safari style covers. though some of them look like a total PIA to remove. Its the difference between getting soaked in a storm and getting a nice little mist from the side, lol

Look at the @Bestop cover, I love it and it appears to cover a bit better and the mirrors stay inside... it also works great for me with the top off/down and overnight in the rain!

Thanks for the suggestion. Just pulled the trigger on it. Hopefully it works out well for me.

I run JCR aluminum half doors when I'm topless, in the back only, for the kids in their car seats and their junk in the floor....
I have the fronts too, but never use them.
Color matching was a DIY fail, I'd go to Maaco next time...

Nice but holly crap that's expensive!
You might want to try tux mats. They give 85% of the coverage of the Armorlight floor at 1/3 the cost and 1/10th the installation hassle.

its not a floor, but rather a VERY full coverage mat system. I love mine. I can see zero carpet .
