1st gear facing uphill, reverse facing downhill. From someone who learned how to drive a stick in Dad's 1962 MGA Roadster.

From what I've read, the footman loop (above the windshield) would have to be moved and the pegs for the freedom panels were relocated on the newer tops, so the corresponding holes won't line up. Sounds like some drilling is in order.

A friend if mine (former Air Force guy I had in a class at the War College in Newport) asked me about the "haze grey and underway" thing. I explained that Navy ships are painted in a color called haze grey and all that. He couldn't understand how I could enjoy spending so much time at sea on a...

I second that. Any time you start replacing parts and tinkering with the front end, odds are you'll need to get it straightened out when everything is said and done.

Yeah, I mean, this is where the tire cover has gotten me out of a couple tickets that might have been borderline speeding...

Once you've figured it out, get out your favorite softball bat and smash those halo lights into oblivion. Replace with a decent pair of LEDs without the halo. Sorry, allowed my feelings about halo lights get in the way of a person needing help. My feelings about angry bird grilles and halo...

The bothersome part of this is the world of difference in having a front drive shaft u-joint and a wheel bearing issue. The effect of either being bad are not really close when it comes to symptoms, but either are very easy to diagnose.

A wheel bearing on one of the fronts? You'd likely be ale to feel that every time you turned the steering wheel. It will tend to grind and send a vibration all the way up the steering shaft. But, at least it's not difficult to diagnose if that's where you decide to go look. Everything else that...

Yeah, the storage area inside the rack measures about 4.5' x 4.5'. I have a Reese cargo bag that measures 37x30x16 that fits nicely if I need to carry a few bags. This one is considered weather "resistant" and was only $30. The waterproof version is close to $100. With the panels off the front...

There's no name=plate or stamp anywhere? It doesn't look familiar to me. I've had the Smittybuilt Defender rack for nearly as long as I've had my Jeep and I wouldn't have it any other way. Tops come of and into the padded back and up to the rack. I have a couple large dogs, so the rack carries...

Yeah, but you're a moderator/staff member, so you have the "box o' prizes" at your disposal....;)

Here it is: There are 6 of them that hold the hardtop down to the edges of the bed. The torx screws go through the bed and into these to hold the top down.

Does part of it rotate? I thought it might be the spacer block on the freedom panel's rear edge. Although it looks a little different than my 2014.

The adhesive is not good, though. I still have mine, but once the first one popped off, I used Gorilla 2-sided tape after cleaning everything up. You said tiny, so I was thinking you added this to the dash...

Sorry. Maybe they changed owners or something. Friend of mine took his there after he tore up his rear end in Uwharrie and said they did a good job. That was several years ago, so...

Might want to drive up to Greensboro and let the guys at Outlaw Offroad take a look at it. I've heard they're one of the best shops in NC.

You guys may be surprised how much you can get for a well-cared for special edition or themed Jeep. Check out this 2006 Sport Golden Eagle that went for $14,600 at auction just a couple days ago. Nothing special about it except it's a Golden Eagle. No upgrades, aftermarket adds, etc. Pretty...

I replaced the stock on my 2014 with these and couldn't be happier: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074T7JS1L/?tag=jkforum-20 Then replaced the fogs with these and visibility got even better: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015X0WIM4/?tag=jkforum-20 Both sets plug and play- no...

No, the example I posted are JL part numbers, but it was to show the difference between the various springs available based on Rubi model. Again, as you stated, the last 2 numbers being the most important as they depict the spring rate, or compression.
