The hitch would do that anyway, this would at least reduce the friction and make it easier to slide off - at least on most obstacles in Moab.

But if the focus is weight, an aluminum V8 weighs less than the iron I6 - even if you match power for power, the lighter aluminum engine is going to win on the weight side. Don't get me wrong, I love the simplicity of that 4.0, but it's a boat anchor of an engine.

Really? An aluminum block LS is a couple hundred pounds lighter than the iron block and iron head of the 4.0 and easily makes 3-4x the power.

As a diesel JT owner, I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you! at the thought of a Jeep having cooling issues.

I did both because my wife had similar complaints about the lack of thigh support and I wanted her to be comfortable too.

I can tell you that a 20% restocking fee for bait-and-switch would not be an option. Restocking fees are there to help merchants not take a loss on a customer making a mistake and ordering the wrong product, that's not the case here. It sounds like I'm not the only one who has been affected...

They might need a matched VIN for programming.

Vehicle tow capacities are always optimistic (flat ground, sea level, cool and dense air) and trailer specs are always optimistic (dry weight). In my opinion, you put them together and you should be looking at a trailer that's maybe 60% of the stated capacity. The same is true of motorcycles...

The JT doesn't really have "short arms" from the factory, I'd call it a mid-arm. Take a look at a TJ's control arms; those cause a much more significant problem with ride quality than the JT/JL control arms. We also run an LJ with 4" of lift and true long-arms from Metalcloak and adjustable...

We haven't seen rain in three months, send it our way.

Isn't he the one that bought a super clean survivor Square Body Chevy just to destroy it?

Method 701 in bronze.

For what it's worth, I would not buy the Bestop Supertop 2 again.

I would say that there's some quality check issues. The boogered up holes and the end damage should have been caught before ever going to powder coating; it should have been caught again coming back from powder, and the damage should have been noticed when things were packaged for shipping...

Interesting, the front window on my top is clear with no tint, the tailgate window has a pretty dark tint though. My truck's previous owner put additional tint on the side windows and rear window - so I can't see anything out the back with the topper on, but that's because of the double-layer...

I have a JT Rubicon, so I'd take the cash. If I take the truck I have to pay the tax on it to register it out of my pocket at least with the cash I could pay the tax out of the winnings. Plus, that amount of cash could pretty much pay off my student loans.

Oh good, now we can blow up transfer cases too... I wouldn't mind a 392, but no way in hell if the pricing is close to the Wrangler.

To be clear: I did not ask for a return, but no resolution was offered for the bait-and-switch. I have installed the product and used it on a camping trip; it's no longer in resellable condition. It would have been nice for some consideration from Bestop to try to make this right, but none was...

Well, I learned an expensive lesson. I went to Bestop first because I had a good experience with the LJ top and I liked the tweed material (which is why I forked out more for the upgrade). Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to pay another $1,000 after having just spent $1,500 for a similar...

I hope you heal up soon.
