I love that Bestop keeps check on the forum and replies to comments on their products, whether good or bad. That is excellent! I’m also excited that someone is going to win the awesome CJ-3B “High Hood” in the sweepstakes. Here is one that I reworked back in the early ‘80s. What a coincidence!

Sarah’s Creek in the Warwoman WMA, North GA.

The Sun Rider is, Hands down, the best mod I’ve done to my Jeep. It stays on 365 days a year and has for nearly 5 years now. The Freedom Panels are now busy holding the attic floor in place.

OK… picked the truck up yesterday. It took just over 1/2 day to do the clutch, oil change and tire rotation. With about 60 miles of combined highway and stop-n-go city, I have to say that I’m very, very pleased with the results. The original clutch had somewhat of a “wandering engagement “. I...

Had mine done today. Dealer just called to tell me it’s ready. I’ll post something in a couple of days. 🤞

I’ll be calling the dealer soon. I’ll keep ya posted

Thanks everyone! I’m satisfied, personally, that it is a different clutch design. It sounds like the random engagement issue will be fixed. I do very little off roading these days. And I’d rather drop into low-range that slip the hell out of the clutch anyway. With almost 70K on the odometer...

I received my letter a couple of days ago. Jeep is instructing me to make an appointment for a no-charge replacement of the clutch assembly along with some updates to the system to detect and warn of high operating temps. Does any know any details about this such as: Is it the same crappy...

How much for that cute red mower?

Plywood, yes. But Is it Groundhog rated??

When you try your 4 low the first time, you may experience trouble disengaging. It helps to back up a little if you can to help unbind any torque in the system. But the main thing is that you must pouch the transfer case lever straight through neutral to 4 hi before leaning left to go up to 2...

Going to 4 hi is a cinch. To hit 4 low I also, whenever possible, do it at a very slow roll. Be sure to look at the diagram on the knob. The transfer case can be a bit stiff, but the shift becomes easier with use. I learned a long time ago to engage and disengage from time to time in order to...

I found a like- new RLD with side windows. Former member that needed a 3/4 ton to pull his new 5th wheel made me a helluva deal. I’ve been incredibly pleased with it. Looks great on my Sting Gray with black hardtop JT. Funny story- I was sitting in a parking lot one day listening to 2 guys...

I like the black grill on the Willys models. I’ll be pulling my Rubi steel bumper off soon to repaint (with bedliner) and have been considering painting my grill black at the same time. Good to know it come off so easily.

The binding comes from uneven arcs that was tire takes when you turn. The diffs have the ability to adapt. The transfer case doesn’t (full time and AWD excepted here). Backing up in an S shape while gently pushing the shift lever to 2WD will allow the wheels to turn through several different...

Yep. Great way to pop a u-joint or worse. But usually just freaks you out, binds everything up tight, makes it nearly impossible to push the transfer lever back to 2WD, and generally makes you feel stupid. Happens to us all at one time or another. Easy fix , though. Reverse in a S shape while...

I never take the SunRider off! Even in our rare 20-something mornings in Atlanta, it is just as warm and no louder than the Freedom Panels I have stashed in the attic.

Nice color choice! Here is the 3-B “High Hood” that I restored back in the early’80s. I think it was a 1960 model.

Damn! Why not just strap it on top of the cap?

Guys. ScootJeep is my son and I can tell you that he ended up trading his JT with the Soft Topper. So it’s no longer available. He needed a heavier rig to pull an RV.
