This was great, thanks! My TJ ('06, actually TJU) has a different set of moldings up front. you really have to take the front corner moldings off (which requires taking the visors out), but the result is a clean open view - perfect for tonight's drive in movie! Thanks again.

Your TJ is so beautiful! I have a JKU but I love the older jeeps so much more. Whenever I get a jeep wave from an older wrangler, I'm like a little kid in a candy shop. Seriously makes my day!

I'm with you. Went from my XJ to a 2013 JKU Sahara and was constantly looking at vids and mods for TJs. I was like, what the hell I just bought a 4 door beast and all I want to do is mod out a little 2 door TJ. So finally pulled the trigger and traded her in for an 06 X model. Silver with the soft top and full doors. Ready to roll now. :)

Have an 03 TJ, and I’ve said every summer I’m going to drop windshield and never have. One , kinda time consuming for temporary ride style , and two , everything is illegal in CT (the no-fun state) , and so I assume a dropped windshield on public roadways is illegal as well (remember , auto insurance companies essentially write our street laws via campaign contributions ). But this year, I’m feeling ..... dangerous
@bobjef945 жыл бұрын
Can't have fun in PA either. But I believe a dropped windshield is legal if you have eye protection. No doors, tube doors, and tires sticking out more than 1/4", wheel spacers, are all illegal too.
@publikenemi495 жыл бұрын
Wow. I’ve never been stopped for no doors , never even dawned on me . My tires are past legal protruding limit too. Oh well. It would take a serious ***hole of a cop to enforce those infractions. And they are so common on the road , that they practically nullify those restrictions.
@bobjef945 жыл бұрын
It depends on the jurisdiction and the judge. Some see it like a summer fund raiser. Other reasonable judges will throw it out if you show up to court. I was specifically told it was only cool to do if it was an 85 and older in my town. Back then doors were an option and not factory. I'll take my doors off sometimes but it's not the norm.

Bro I was watching this to see the Phillips head screws on the plastic inside the window and you didn’t even focus on those you’re focused on the ones on the outside. The one somebody put in my jeep has weird heads on it and I wanted to make sure that they’re the normal screws. These look like regular drywall and 2 x 4 screws which doesn’t seem right to me

So that's the roll bar for the driver and passenger......I owned a JK and I think it was a tad bit beefier than that twig of an A pillar bar. Obviously the windshield frame is part of the structural rigidity. I've seen TJ's with custom front rollbars. They installed it after rolling their jeep on a hill and landed him and his girlfriend with nasty injuries.

Hey! I have a '97 TJ. I need help with getting my doors aligned so that my doors don't rub when closing and my skins fit right. There are gaps at the top. I have measured my windshield from front to the back of the jeep (center and both corners). The driver's side is different from pas. I'm just a little stumped at how to get the gaps right.

your videos have been pretty good so far but you have done this wrong,. the black trim is not meant to be unscrewed, its in no way structural to hold up the front of the sports bar like that. There is a video on youtube called "97-06 TJ Jeep Wrangler Operating Tips" if you go to the 19:58 mark it willl show you how to do this correctly and safely kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcx1h9ar2dPOinU.htmlm58s
