So now, I can go from full soft top to spiderweb top ALOT faster. I know what you mean by part of your rear vision being messed up, but I havent found that to be to much of an issue. I figure if I go to 35's with one on the spare, my rear window is going to be useless anyway.

Yeah I tried running the ball from the bottom and from the top and I have it different on some of them. And yeah with the 35 being there...I can understand, but with my lil 30 back there, I'm using to seeing over my 3rd brake light and up....but I can't really now. But I might try to run the top down the back of my seats kinda like a wind jammer thing haha, who knows, I just gotta play with it

One other thing I noticed the first time I used the Spiderweb after upgrading my soundbar speakers, is that the top tends to work like a drum head. If there is bass at a particular level or higher, the top can buzz against the soundbar. Was driving me crazy for a bit until I reached and slid my hand between the soundbar and the top. Then the buzz stops. I'm thinking I may get some small diameter pipe insulation and slip that between the two to keep it in check, but I may have my stereo adjusted now to where it doesn't buzz anyway. Just letting you know in case you encounter it yourself.
** EDIT ** Thats funny. After typing that, I went back and looked at your pics again. Looks like you have the same speakers in your soundbar. Polk 521's or the maybe the 6 1/2's.

You should, in no way, take any of this personally. It's just business. So to recap, I come in peace, I mean you no harm, and you all will die. Gallaxhar out.

Shooting for track bar, mount track bar modification (shortening), mount steering and start on the gears. The earliest I have gotten out of the garage in the past week was about 11, the latest was about 3am. Trying to get the old PS pulley off was the biggest pain and ate up most of the earlier time. The lip on the outside of the pulley broke off when I tried to remove it.
The PSC box and Genright PS pulley look pretty sweet though.

I didn't think about that, I've got full doors. I can't say how well half doors would work, I don't have any experience with them.

I bungied mine immediately behind the sound bar and then wrapped it back up over itself and bungied it back down in front of the sound bar to create basically a Spiderweb Shade bikini top...

Ok *******. I guess the post you just made was beneficial to TJs also?
And I guess the posts in this thread of people rebuilding garages, remodeling houses, buying a WJ or a boat, or a dog, or upgrading their JF membership or a trailer or whatever the hell differ in any way shape or form from what I just posted? Seriously if it bothers you that much, then go through the last couple thousands of posts in this thread and quote all of them with the same stupidity.
I'm buying a second set of wheels because I moved to the desert in California and want to save some wear and tear on my TJ. Does that simplify it enough for your arrogant ***?
