That's a badass winch and a pretty snappy way to mount a Hi-Lift where or where did you ever come up with the winch and idea?

goods good... flex the bish!

depends on that CB antenna you are running... but i'd say front bumper passanger side. bumper feeler/antenna all in one

Sick Jeep!! Should have no problem unloading it.

I am all about OEM accessories too!!

Friggin sweet... Don't mind the current ride height, but I'd like to see the little 2" lift :thumbup:

I agree with Lee, OEM accessories just seem to always fit the design better, looking less like afterthoughts.

Wow that thing is bad ass.. Love the bumpers, love the winch. love the tires... hell I love everything.. Now for some lift action :thumbup:

Thanks guys! Fuck you Zach. I almost drowned in the damn thing last night because it leaks like nobody's business. I hope to have that fixed sometime next week, hopefully picking up a gently used top off CL later today. As for the 2in lift. I like the look as it is, I think I will love it even more with the lift. I can't wait to get that on the thing once it comes in. I assume dickhead will come help me with that (wink, wink)

What are you fucking me for...all I did was give you a winch give you a stretch top pass along some ideas and stay up late on my day off to give you a hand :lol:

LC619FR · 04-23-2011, 10:21 AM

and why does it have to be dickhead?

**Jeff** · 04-23-2011, 01:43 PM

Smooch. <3

Picked up a new 2007 model top I found on CL in Vienna yesterday. Fits so much better and the zippers work so much smoother. Plus I got tinted windows and it seems to have mostly fixed my leaks! I still need to get a foam kit for the door surrounds as they revised the foam used in 2008 so even though these are new they lack that change. I'll snap a pic once I clean it up tomorrow. I think I am going to shine it up.

wranglers leak and all... but its a little new for you to go swimming in isnt it?

Exactly. The half doors really do make the problem much worse. Once I get this $20 foam kit I ordered today I will pretty much have brought this 07 up to date as far as you can without switching to the 2011 top style. The only thing left to do short of that would be a new header seal. It was a damn piss stream coming in the window in a decent rain at a stoplight before this top. I left it out last night in the fairly strong rain we got. It had a little water on the drivers floor and slightly more on the passenger's side with a little on the door. Hopefully the foam will get me as leak free as possible.

Kaan · 04-25-2011, 12:50 PM

you going to instruct your sales staff to discourage half doors?

**JustinG** · 04-25-2011, 01:45 PM

thread hijack, thoughts from you two on this problem. A/C on full blast, got some water coming out of the floor vents. My thoughts are the drain hole is plugged.....your thoughts? I assume its condensation, that isnt draining.

That's what my thought was so I did a little research on the almighty Jeep Forum :bow: and found this thread. Although the thread isn't that long it has a lot of links to useful threads. :thumbup:
