I wonder if I could solo the hard top on. Gotta weigh way less than a Wrangler's with two less windows.

You should be able too. These guys had no idea how to lift them or even lift the doors. I tried to tell them how to lift it up so it would be easier when they were doing an unlimited and the guy in charge of the kids doing the work was super rude so I just took pictures of them struggling loll

Thanks, great pictures. Now people can see just how easy it is to put the hard top back on to the truck, looks rather light weight.

That back roof looks handleable. I bet we won't need to hang. Could be a yank and stack/store job. Thanks for the pics!

Hey guys. I got a couple pictures of the interior again. It’s def’n brown, just more like a peanut butter brown. I completely forgot to grab the Home Depot colour cards but I got a couple pictures. It it looks darker in person. The lighting inside the show was extremely bright. Hope this helps a bit. I’d say the colour looks pretty similar to skippy peanut butter lol.

Thanks for your efforts. That still looks too light, but i'll take your word for it and have to see it in person.

No problem man. It’s still lighter than I would light but it’s no where near as light as the Tan leather.

Thanks for your efforts. That still looks too light, but i'll take your word for it and have to see it in person.

Well, I don't recall who corrected me on the Leather vs. Faux-Leather seating . . . but this, last line, seems to indicate that the only part of jeeps leather seating is where you plop your arse & rest your back . . . the rest is a "fancy vinyl" ! Kind of like the RAM REBEL seats -- Premium-cloth in the bum & back; the rest being premium vinyl (red no less!).

That's right. That's why manufacturers use "leather-faced" or "leather-trimmed"

Hey guys, I know the pictures I took seemed tooo light of the saddle, but I actually saw this picture in the Billet Silver thread and thought it might help you guys tell it’s not as light as the pictures. Not the best picture but it looks closer the real colour
