The thread update email reminded me to update my thoughts on the Spider shade...I contacted their support way back when regarding the fit, and their fix was to send me a replacement top without the center cutouts. It showed up some time in November. I waited til Spring to install it, and...

Price?

Since a new post alert brought me back to this thread, figured I'd provide an update. My replacement top is still much quieter than the original. Overall, it's not as quiet as my wife's JL, I occasionally get a flapping noise from the canvas material on top, and more noise around the...

My dealer installed the new top today and...nothing to report, which is good. Today was a wind advisory in my area, and I heard nothing like the noises from my original top. I’ll report back if anything changes.

Just heard from my service guy, they’re ordering me a new top cover, should be here in 5-10 days. Will update once the new cover is installed.

I agree. I can hear it clearly because I know exactly what I’m listening for. I’ve had two scheduled appointments, both days ended up being cold & frosty, and the extra weight seems to really dampen the effect. I did stop by unannounced on a day it was extra noisy, and no one was free for a...

Pinged my service guy for an update this morning, and sent him a few more videos of what mine is doing. I'll attach here, again, terrible quality. The longer dark video was 70ish MPH on I77 in the Fancy Gap, NC area. The clunks & clanks are kind of the extreme sounds that I get with mine...

Not the greatest videos, but here’s what I recorded and sent to my service guy to send to engineering.

Took mine into my dealer this week, referencing the case number above. My top fits all symptoms, but my truck falls outside of the build date range. The tech submitted the request/whatever? to STAR online, and received a request back for video of it happening. Every time I've tried to capture...

Any word on this? My JT’s premium top is much louder than our JLU premium top. It’s almost like there’s too much webbing on the 2nd and 3rd bows, and it allows the top to flap around, enough that it scares my wife when it happens. Can replicate it most of the time crossing train tracks. I...

Closing this up for now, I think she’s going to end up with my stock wheels...so I’m I’m wheel shopping:beer: Edit: I don’t know how to close a thread, oh well

Looking for a single stock Rubicon wheel in the Mid Atlantic, also don’t mind a coastal weekend road trip.

I didn’t either when searching for alternatives this evening..I guess the JL front piece will fit, but saw no mention of a rear JT piece.

I was back & forth between the JTop & Spider, went with Spider to save a few bucks, and reviews seemed good enough. I did detach and reattach a few of the rear bungies this afternoon, and it seemed to help slightly, but still a long way from being tight. I’m not sure how, but I guess there’s a...

How is everyone else’s fitment on the JT4D model? Exterior fit & tension is good on mine, but it’s super loose & flappy around the cutout. My only semi current reference would be the 2pc Alien Sunshade on my wife’s JLU, which doesn’t move at all. Is the loose center just a consequence of...

I think I’ve found a set locally, so, specifically in search of a single rim now.

If you end up in the Mid Atlantic, I’m in the market, until I’m not?!

Just order the soft top!

Yeah, that’s a little too much of a road trip, I’m near DC, so about 10 hours. I figure I’ll get a set, then be searching for the spare. Thanks, and good luck selling yours.

Looking for 5 OEM Overland wheels for my wife’s 18 JLU, she’s wanting a darker wheel than the factory Sahara, and I’m looking to not break the bank. Would also be interested in a direct swap for any Overland owner that prefers the Sahara rims. Located in the DC area, don’t mind a road trip to...
