Dual Top Option

Tom... Honey...

Someone has to get you boys started on the spring thaw.

Well, hubs is a bald headed feller, it might be on a bit more than that so the glare off his noggin doesn't blind me or other motorists LOL

I definitely have been looking for a strapless one though.

That's good to hear. Here in TN, they salt if it even threatens to get a little icy.

: Thanks for the heads-up, but the YJ's body panels are galvanized. It is : twelve years old and has very little War Paint, except for the cheapo steel : painted "argent" wheels. : : Earle : : : : *** Free account sponsored by SecureIX.com *** : *** Encrypt your Internet usage with a free VPN account from

So... Once it breaks in, it will be as easy as it looks like it should be?

I got the sunrunner top, didn't realize it but it looks like an interesting option. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow, weather permitting.

Kinda like losing your virginity aye? The first time is always the hardest.

The top is the same as a tonneau I used to have for the Cobra. I understand the whole cold / hot thing. It was about 50 degrees this morning and I knew it was gonna be a battle but I still had to yap about it a little. Just not sure if it was braggin' or complainin' ;¬)

There actually is a power softop kit for the Wrangler. It's hideous. I did a quick google but too tired to look.

I hear ya. It's only 9:30 here and I am gonna go make nice with a pillow.

Oh, and I really don't think I want one. What a mess it would be. I'm cool with what it has. It will break in and then all will be well.

G'nite!

I was running around in the rain topless for a while tonight! Felt sooooo gooooodddd!

And hey, Jerry, its almost as much fun as wet silk. = )

ROTFL! Thanks I needed a good laugh tonight.

It is?

You just need to do it a few times. I got pretty fast at it. Your Sunrider top is likely different, but one of the tricks I found is to start the zippers for the side windows _before_ I snap in the battens over the doors. The other trick is that when starting the zipper I use the velcro and have the rest of the window hanging on the rear post, just a bit higher than it would sit normally. My last trick is to pull down on the back of the top when zipping around the rear window to relieve the stresses on the zipper and make it easier.

It also stretches out a little bit (not much tho) over time.

I know - it probably says all this in the video.....wherever that got to.... Tomes

I used to do that with my Mustang, but was always worried about getting it wet. Now it should be ok. Hey Jen, do you use seat covers to keep the crud and moisture off?

I am going to curl up with a cuppa coffee and my owners manual in about three minutes. So much to learn.

Well, it says SOME of it, but not all. Thanks for the help :)

Depending on which you were asking about...

*snikker*

Well..... My vintage 1986 soft top is still as stiff and hard to pull down in the back corners as the day I first tried it when I got it new out of the box in 97 or so. My CJ7 had the hard top on and the soft top had never been used.

Maybe the new ones will get loose and flappy for ya?
