I just installed it and gave it another go… what worked for me was vice grips. Way easier than pliers, I think it was a little greasy. Once I had that idea, install was easy.
I would say that I don’t feel the engagement point much more from a quick test personally, but it is way easier to get a...
I would also consider once it’s in there what the ceiling height is if you want to be able to have a hoist for your top. I’m sad I don’t really have the height for a hoist, I just have to have my wife help me carry the top to the back yard. A hoist would be nice…
So the only other bumper I strongly considered was the dv8 bumper (either one of the winch offerings). There are some others you could argue have more utility like the arb with high-lift points, but the bumper was partially a vanity choice of looks. I personally don’t like the chunkier/squared...
I believe it’s been more popular to see the 2 Door MT as it’s the more “pure” bronco for enthusiasts. I was more so coming from my truck and liked the idea of more off road capability. The manual is limited in trims but not bad, I was able to get everything I wanted with the manual, even without...
That’s a good drive from me, but I’ve heard of Windrock a few times, that’s next on the list to check out!

Oh, almost forgot, I got some stronger tie rods since I heard about them being a weak point. Just carry them as insurance for now but will replace them when I get time.
I also...

Is there anyone else who has ordered a @JTopsUSA recently and has issues?
I ordered August 5th and have gotten no shipment or updated info. I tried to contact support and just got busy by phone and no response to text. I tried to contact Dr. Mike who I’ve seen on the forum and heard nothing...
Hard for me to tell as a 3rd party from the pic, but looks like he installed a hitch receiver?
I know there are other options, I had to have tow hooks for the track and actually mounted one in the front under the grill and one in the back up under the license plate. Both were direct drill...
I’m down in Charleston, so far from all the good trails :(. I went to Gulches last weekend and enjoyed it and look forward to checking out Uwharrie. I haven’t found anyone to wheel with yet, so let me know if anyone has plans and wouldn’t mind me tagging along!
Seems to not have the hose by the battery on the Badlands 2.3 25’. Installed today. Will keep the other bracket to maybe make a wiring run easier later.
