@mdhaman Looks awesome. Please share your out the door cost. I bought the starter kit to that and will get those if I like having the clear top.
It was just under 1200 with shipping included. It should be nice in michigan when we have our top on for 7 months or so in the fall and winter.

That’s not bad at all and less than Clearlidz. Curious about their paint options, mine is color matched. Do they need to paint your tops after install or is that only if you’re buying new tops from them?

I am pretty sure its only if you buy new panels from them.

How do you wash a car And NOT "do everything"? You wash PART of a car?



You mean the "nearly new, optional expensive leather"??
My bad, yep, the nearly new, fugly ass leather. As for expensive, it’s my money to blow as I choose.

My Bedrug got delivered today and I laid it out in our bathroom with the heater on for a couple of hours and it loosened right up.

Installation is easy and fitment is probably 98% on point. The last time I had one of these was in the early to mid-2000s, and it's just as I remembered it -- soft, comfortable on the hands, knees, backs (for those lazy afternoons), and nothing I see suggests it won't be just as rugged as my old one.

Thanks @RealTruck! It was in stock and shipped the same day I ordered it. It would have been here in 2 days but it went through Tennessee right when they were getting winter weather which caused delays.

Finished up and installed Red Summit Machineworks rub rails. Nice kit took me one day to fit and weld them. I used Herculiner to finish them makes a nice grippy surface.

Ran the wiring harness for my Rockslide Engineering Step Sliders. Sorry no pics, but who would want to see just wires underneath the cab of my JT anyways.

I'll try the final install this weekend.

They're advertised as oil, stain, and acid resistant. I always pressure washed my old one and will treat this one the same way.

I never tested that claim but dirt and debris come out easily. I'll only haul dirty camping equipment and mountain bikes, so I can't really say it'll stand up well to having chunks of broken up concrete dumped into the bed from a few feet up like in a late 90s Ford commercial, but for what I do it'll be more than rugged enough.

Lamin-x my headlights with the clear film and did the foglights with yellow. Turned out pretty nice i like the yellow foglights. Also did the dark film over the tag lights to reduce the glare in the camera.

Thats pretty sweet nice to know they clean up easily with a pressure washer.

Installed some Diode Dynamic amber fogs. Looking forward to use them in the anticipated New England snow Friday.
I’m on the NH coast. We will get anywhere between light rain and 18” of snow. Our standard forecast.
