I used a similar system for the crossover steering on my dodge with the pinch bolt. I have found that using an all metal lock nut on the pinch bolt is the cleanest solution that doesn't rattle loose over a few thousand miles. My truck rides like a tank however....mileage will vary. You can also...

Pretty much, but I would probably ditch the side windows and make it more of a 'commercial' looking top. I think painting the top in body color will help make it look more like a 1-piece top. A black top ( on most other colors ) makes it look half finished to me. It's weird, but I always hated...

How does the 1st wrap tension up under the 1st use? I know I fight getting synthetic line tight enough on the 1st layer that the additional layers don't cut down through with tension....

really......

That's a tough question to answer. I think what everyone wants is different from their vehicle.... I look at a 2-door JK thinking its about perfect until I realize that I want to sleep in the back and have more storage room. The long wheelbase of the 4-door chassis would be nice for go-faster...

Too much weight up high for me. I also get really annoyed sleeping in a soft sided shelter these days. My Dodge has spoiled me sleeping in the hard shell topper....

Never even got a 'no....and your crazy....just keep it a 4-door' back from them.

Thanks, the little Willys is fun, if your ever in the Durango area you should come check it out. Its like a big go cart for Jeep nuts....

If the platform was the same height as the top of the center console....then the forward portion of the platform could just fold forward onto the center console. Alternatively you could have two small cables/lines/straps that just connected to the A to B pillar 'roll-bar' spreader to hold up the...

2011+ 2-door seats.....

hope you don't mind me chopping the pic :) That's what you get for having such a nice looking rig! How do you like the 3.5 AEV and 37s combo?

Anyone have pics of the fold forward seat mounts from the 2door JK? Still, that is going to eat up a lot of storage space and really raise the center of gravity of stuff stored on top of it. So build the platform out of light material and don't store stuff on top of it....:) The only thing...

Just another quick 'chop, sorry to the guy on the AEV forum that posted the donor pic, but I really liked the stance and tire size. This is a 4door base with the rear doors and top 'chopped out. 37" mtr/k tires on an AEV 3.5 lift. This is almost exactly the stance I am looking for. I think...

What if the sleeping platform was raised to just clear the top of the center console? The top of the rear seat if you had it in place would probably lead to some wasted space, but I would think that the added length ( if the front seats folded forward ) would be well worth it. This is...

they don't leak......when they are out of oil! I'm trying! REALLY trying! I think I am going to try and install dual seals on the front and rear outputs. SFK makes a wave seal with a spring lip and a secondary dirt seal that I want to try. The yokes I have are pretty dang good overall...

I borrowed some safety wire pliers tonight and wired up the front housing on the new D18.... I think I got it ok. I decided to do the left and right sides of the housing separately. This makes for one two bolt set and one three bolt set. Having the wire rub on the top or bottom of the...

Do the JK seats flip forward? I thought I remembered something about the 2011 or 2012 2-door getting a change? Maybe those seat brackets could be installed in the 4-door to make some more room?

Some more notes from my D18/20 building.... A magnetic base and dial indicator is nice to have around. Make sure to mark the position you use on the end of the shaft. My shaft had about .010 runout on the end of the threaded portion. You can also use the shoulder just up the shaft from the...

VERY VERY nice looking fab!

Yeah.... defiantly a lack in the market for a simple heavy duty mid-size SUV in my opinion. The JK is close, but there are SOOOOO many cool things that they should have done or offered as an option.
