From what I understand there's talks of both Prentice Cooper and Coalmont being closed down. Prentice Cooper due to the influx of ATV's and SxS's not following marked trails and observing speed limits and groups leaving trash. Coalmont I guess theres issues with people leaving the park and...
My good friend moved outside of the Nashville area a couple years ago from San Diego. He's been really disappointed in the off-roading aspect. Out here in SoCal we have so much BLM land, so many trails its almost endless. Out there it's mostly offroad parks which are few and far between and...

I bought some but I havent used it yet. I'm trying to do a bit of research on different adhesives that may handle the heat better. I've been taking readings of the temperature of the hardtop but we've only had mid 80's as...
I would definitely scuff the powder coat for better adhesion and I will be doing that when my panel gets worse and I make the fix. Hopefully we can all find a fix.
Thats a bummer. You put a lot of work into prepping those panels. Need to put a temp gun to the panels and see what temps were actually dealing with to maybe try and find a different adhesive.
I think the panels would benefit from some extra support. My thought was if they would have attached...
I do agree and the panels are my biggest complaint of the top as well. I only have 1 small section of the big front panel right over the drivers seat that comes loose every day that I push back up, and one corner of the panel thats on the gull wing.....so far anyways. Doesnt seem to be getting...
Yes. I noticed it right after install so I started looking at other people's pictures and noticed it seemed pretty common so I didnt bring it up. Doesn't seem to effect anything.
Looks like a freakin pain! Hopefully it holds up. I just have a small section right above my drivers seat that comes undone. I just push it back up daily. When it get worse I'll have to pull the whole panel and do this.
Pretty sure they are M8's. I can double check when I get home.
Yes, all my rubber washers are cracked where they are exposed to the sun but under the heads of the bolts they are fine. I bought a box of 50 off Amazon to replace them as needed.
Would you be able to grab a couple pictures of your top in those rear corner areas? I'd be curious to see what changed at some point if you don't have those gaps. It'd be much appreciated!
I really like the idea of the TrailDeck SE. I may return my original TrailDeck and wait for that model. I have test fit it but have not done a full install yet. I like the slide out aspect, but the drawer itself I could do without. Between the drawer and the weight of the TD itself i've been...
Here you go. You can see how it attaches to the roll bar and the cuts I made. I cut 2.5" wide and about .5" deep. Looks like it should fit with the DV8 molle panels from what I can see in their site.
The DAP adhesive is what Armadillo is recommending now over the Gorilla adhesive they used to recommend. I bought some but I have not used it yet. From what i've read about it its pretty permanent once it hardens so as long as it's applied right, shouldnt have anymore issues...
Now for the shelf I was installing in case anyone is interested. I was looking for some storage up towards the roof in the rear but the M2M attic shelf wasnt enough for what I was needing. I found this shelf from Hooke Road that offers about 7.5" of space between the shelf and the top of the...
