Kind of a sh*tty top if it's not, right? :LOL:

Ah yes, the disadvantage of ordering online sight-unseen with lousy pics. Considering it's only a hundred and change more than a sunrider for just the freedom panel area, might just go ahead and get it in the next month or so.

Good to know! Yes, post pics too. From the limited pics I've found, I really like how it looks compared to the OEM top, and I'll probably use it bimini style most of the time so my head doesn't roast. Thinking about combining it with soft half-doors too because we had a blast cruising around...

Just looks nice, and generally insulates better. Also less likely to get that "flag in a hurricane" effect on the highway compared to sailcloth. The OEM "premium" soft top is twill. I actually decided to give this a try instead just because of the price...

Was just looking at that... Wish it came in twill fabric though. OK, who's trying it first? :LOL: https://www.quadratec.com/p/rugged-ridge/voyager-soft-top-gladiator-jt-13595.14

Anyone else getting faded grey spots on their black (textured, not glossy) hard top?

Compared to the 4.7L v8 commander I traded, the v6 in the JT does a great job! Max Tow with lift and 35s did way better towing a 4800lb travel trailer up mtn roads to 7000ft on an 85 degree day. The commander used to run hot and had to stop on turn outs. Is it a towing beast!? No, but didn’t...

Already have a '99 MBZ convertible soaking up all the extra "3rd car" budget. But yeah, back to tires! ? Had good luck with Coopers and Generals - and believe it or not Hankooks. Just done with Nitto for sure!

Was a sad day for sure - and it limited my ability to haggle because I needed a working vehicle before it died, but very happy we found our JT just in time. I just couldn't put another $3-5K into the XK just to have something else break the following year. If that Quadratrac AWD system goes...

Traded it. Valves rattling like mad, coolant in the oil, front driveshaft vibrating, it was done. Good thing they didn't drive it!

My first thoughts too! I asked an off-road shop if someone made wider factory-matched painted fenders to cover 12.5" tires on zero offset rims and they insisted I should get smaller steel ones or actually chop the stock ones because it's "cooler" that way. Am I weirdo for actually wanting...

Sorry missed this - been busy. Message me and I can meet you at a Starbucks or something.

30oz premium one (black twill on the site I believe).

I went through 2 sets of Nitto Terra Grapplers on my Commander. First were taken out by a boxcutter blade on the freeway (both on one side with one blade!) and discovered one of the remaining round tires had a blister on the inner sidewall. Warranteed all four. Rock punctured the middle of...

Funny you mention this... Doing the same to check accuracy. First result: MPG in-dash average was lower than actual by at least 2MPGs! Let's see how the next fill-up comes out. Didn't seem like I was filling it up too often (or at least more than expected). Noticeably better than my old 5.7...

Sorry, part of the contract! LOL

This thread caught my eye just because of my lousy experience with dealer oil changes. Last case being they forgot to replace the radiator cap - and why were they touching that in the first place?

I think of it like a boat… It’s going to cost you money over and above a “normal” vehicle just for the fact it’s essentially a recreational vehicle and often custom built and/or modified in some way just for fun. Unless you keep it bone stock, it’s not going to be like owning a Camry. ? So many...

Was just going to say this. Had a '95 Wrangler (totally different, I know) did same thing about 40K miles, turned out to be worn tie rod and drag link bushings. Could feel a little wiggle when pulling on them by hand. Replaced both completely and never had a problem again (and it actually...

No worries. Not as if it took a lot of effort on my side to type less than this reply! :LOL:
