Unfortunately the building had been used and abused by a few different companies, the most recent (donāt recall the last day, maybe early 2000ās) as an expansion of the nearby steel mill now owned by Cleveland Cliffs.
I think there were some interested parties with some dreams to do some sort...
I had the Bestop and while I bought it used, I preferred how the back window attached via a bar over the tailgate vs the Softopper attaching directly to the outside of the tailgate.
That said, Iām not sure how old the cap was when I bought it but the material had stretched enough that Iād have...
Well⦠I traded it in š«
I had to get rid of my previous Wrangler due to needing a truck for house renovations, this time our business needed more of a people hauler and tote/container mover.
With 86.5k miles and a higher value than my wifeās Grand Cherokee with only 45k miles, the JT was the...
Said goodbye to my favorite co-pilot today. My wife is second, but only because sheās worse than him at navigating.
Very quickly and very unexpected. We did get to go for one last ride though (not this picture). Just a reminder to take your buddy for that ride along.
Snapped these just now. Interior hasnāt been cleaned since spring and likely wonāt until fall, so lots of wet paws (not typically muddy) and swimming suits, some salty air and rain/pollen. I donāt suspect anything here will be stains.
Iām not sure how well they would do with your dogsā hair...
I still swear by my Bartacts. No tears, holes, etc. Probably some fading vs. new but I canāt tell. Still looks like Kryptek and Hydro Blue to me.
I did give them a good scrub this spring with one of those Ryobi spinning brushes, some warm water and Dawn.
They donāt wipe off as easy as the...
3 months into ownership. Didnāt do damage, didnāt actually touch but they did overlap. Clearly there was no other place to park.
Kudos to the kid for owning it.
Met up with another JT owner to get this SuperTop. Needed some extra space for vacation this year (only taking one vehicle this time) but will be nice having the extra covered space through the winter.
š» Cheers, Dave, if youāre on here. Appreciate the help getting it installed, rain and all! š¤£
I am. The stock size was 245/70/17 (if I remember right). I took a slight hit with on gas mileage, but it was marginal. I think I had gotten 18-19, and am closer to 17-18 now. I refer to my commute as uphill both ways; anything outside of work-home drive shows an increase in mpg.
I lost some...
The difference in width is .2ā so thatās pretty marginal.
The 285/75/17 are going to be about an inch taller, 33.83ā vs. 32.98ā.
Iām currently running 285/75/17 and have been pretty happy with them, but I think Iām going to try and find a skinnier tire with about the same diameter next time...
Bought in May 2020 vs. a monthly Carvana email (this was pretty close to KBBās private sale)
Canāt really complain for 5 years and 80,000 miles. Still making upgrades and not really intending to trade up yet.
