Glad Grandpa Firecracker Red LE Build

[Pat2Alaska]

Installed the new JTops Sunshade! Good quality, easy install. Will put top and doors back on later to see how it works!

Follow-up...... Hard top works great with the JTOPs! Also have the Sunrider and can access it to open and close pretty easily. After opening, you have to get out to secure the front of the JTOPs under the windshield top though.

Does this actually function as a cigarette lighter in that location?

Ran across my first Jeep this summer, 2005 TJ. Still looks like new. Looks real small next to the JT!

Yea, in between had a Granite Crystal. It was nice but the Firecracker is classic!

Someday I need to own a 2door. Looks fun. That's a sweet canoe setup.

Figured out the canoe setup for the Gladiator too.

Thanks! Always loved the two doors but the longer wheelbase ride is so much better on a daily basis!

I have a 13 foot Kayak I always put on the roof of my other vehicles. Trying to find a way to transport in the Gladiator. I saw a pic you had of two on the roof...however, I read in other places that it was not recommended to transport "water craft" on the roof racks. Any thoughts on that.

Looks great BTW.

I really don't think using the roof rack would be bad with one Kayak for a short distance. It there is a strong wind, it might not be advisable. I don't really need to use the roof rack so decided not to risk it. I actually have placed both Kayaks on top of the Upper Decker and drove almost 90 miles with them tied on that way, no issues.

I think the issue with carrying watercraft on the hardtop is that the feet would be too close together unless you mounted them on the Freedom panel's drip rail (which I wouldn't do for long distances).

I plan to carry a 17' kayak on the roof, but will likely go with a Maximus-3 roof rack as a base.
