I really like the way you take your hard top off. That makes it a one person job. I guess you could make a cradle to store it on and add casters so you can move it out of the way. Very good video.
Thanks for the video. I’m a new Jeep JL owner. I was wondering why not just put pins in place of bolts for a quick sway bar disconnect. You have just confirmed that I can. Not sure what a $180. kit offers over the pins other than a place to mount it out of the way after you pull the pins. Nothing zip ties won’t handle.
You should put the door stop bolts in the storage case under the backseat , there is desingated holes for them . I can totally see those bolts falling out of the netting on the doors.
Agreed, but I find the netting small enough to not allow them to fall out. The doors stay off for weeks at a time, dont move around much in my humble setup.
Bravo-Zulu! Those are Very Cool Ideas for things to have for a Gladiator! I am in the Market for a Gladiator since my wife wants to steal my New 2020 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with a Hemi but I told her that since we do NEED a Truck and she agrees and we live in Central Florida I think the Mojave Gladiator might be a FIT for us than the Rubicon since I am not going to ROCK Crawl but I will go down Sand trails and the Mojave does have the Rear Locker which is all we really need but Mojaves are not available right NOW which is a MAJOR Bummer because I been Stuck with my wife's Jeep Liberty!
Your quick disconnects hack is pretty smart if you want to save money. Im on Guam and recently purchased an 05 TJ. I was going to purchase quick disconnects online until I watched your video. Can you point me to which hardware store on island you purchased them? Looking forward to a reply. Thanks for sharing🤙
Cool ideas besides the swaybar disconnects... Really fast, the hole on the axle is going to become oval on the driver side! Those pins are indeed cheap but the damage done on the housing isn't. On the passenger side, it's not going to be an issue.
I like the idea with the straps. How sketchy is it releasing the straps to bring the top down with wait? Seems it would free fall for a bit till the strap locked again.
On the sway bar disconnect, would you consider a spring rather than just washers to eliminate the noise issue? My wife got the Wrangler Unlimited and she loves it. I am currently considering trading in my Z4 and Titan for the JT Mojave :). Great ideas bro, keep up the good work and thank you for your service.
I like this idea for a quick disconnect. I looked into the JKS brand as well as others that require you to cut off that tab from the frame. Your solution in this video is just as good is it not? What were the draw backs to staying with it? Thanks.
If you stay with the stock links and just use those cheap pins, its just constant noise and possible failure. With jks, its a quick install, safe, and proven. I love these jks parts.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Xavier Kylo I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Perhaps you could tell the rest of us what rubber nut you are attaching where on a seat belt to accomplish what? And tuck what wire down there, down where and for what? Can’t even tell where in the Jeep you are? A rear seat belt a cargo area or what. No clue what you where doing there and you didn’t say either. Confused!

I like your mind set!
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE !
What it seems you're talking about at first is...pride in an accomplishment.
I like the rubber stoppers for the door pins. I'm surprised they don't get stuck in the hinge when your putting your doors on.
Great ideas! 👍🏻

Might try those disconnects for my rears...
USAF? I saw the OCP's and you mentioned Guam so just guessing. Thanks for your service!

Sweet jeep I have a 16 HARDROCK UNLIMITED love it.
This man is living in 3020
Check out RockJock Antirock sway bar kit. You will never use regular sway bars again!
Too rich for my blood. I'm using jks discos now

Yes, it's something to keep an eye on.

I’m going to go broke watching all your videos

That is a great idea, that could be a good way to eliminate chatter. I have since bought real disconnects from jks.
Im really green. Why do we disconnect the sway bar links? For off roading?
@@joshuab.1870 They limit flex and suspension travel.

Hey nice video. Doesn't the sway bar disconnect make clunking or rattling noise on the road when connected?
Little bit. Eventually you will want jks ones
What branch if service Brother. I was stationed with NCHB1 here in Williamsburg we'd come out to Guam a few times a year. to work.

sway bar disconnect hack still holding up fine?
Yes, just keep them greased with lithium grease. I am going to replace them soon. I want some better stuff with the quality of build I am doing.
Where did you find the hitch pin with multiple holes? I have been to Home Depot and auto zone with no luck
I found them!
