Napalm's Billet Steel! The 2016 JKU Sport picture diary

Got my decals in put the windshield banner on in the warmth of the Fire station tonight.



I also ordered these, which I'm excited about. Couldn't get them installed tonight, I'm not 100% sure where I want them yet. Stay tuned



I can't help but feel proud to support the Wayalife community. I am glad to run these banners/decals and tell everyone I am an active member of Wayalife. Without this community, owning a Jeep wouldn't be owning a Jeep for me.

I wish that I could slow down enough to take pics like you do.
I am jealous. I do enjoy your daily post.

Thank you! That means a lot! I'm glad you like them.

It's sad how much I enjoy it. I like to appreciate the beauty of things through photography. Too bad I'm terrible at taking photos of anything but the Jeep! LoL!

I feel the same way, even with the haters out there. I've received so much great advise here!

Keep the pics coming! [emoji106]

Haters are our motivators! LMAO. But, I agree. This is a great family and I don't know what I do without it!

Well done! [emoji106]

Time for an install!

 

[Napalm]

First off with the sport decals.

Then on with the new corona decals!



I'd kill for a soft top today.. I'm in the market for one used!

 

[BamBamDeer]

New decals look great! Mine are ordered and will be on soon.

It would be cheaper to buy a hardtop lift for your garage. That is what I just did and love it. I can get the top off in about 10 minutes.

Thank you. You'll love them! They stick out like a sore thumb on Steel and I wouldn't have it any other way

Interesting. I've considered trying to build one using ratchet straps, unfortunately i just haven't had the time yet.

Got bored a pulled the lower air dam off. Because who needs gas mileage? Plus it was already full of mud and dirt.


Next project : getting the hardtop off. Working on a plan to build a budget friendly in garage storage solution. Stay tuned!

Looks so much better without the dam!

When I bought my Jeep I did the eye bolts and ratchet straps method. I also got a pool noodle to keep the straps from tearing anything up. Here's what mine looked like in the last home I owned with exposed rafters...







I have a Harken Hoister but neither of my last two landlords will allow me to install anything in the finished garage ceilings. My current hard top remover is me, my 15 year old daughter and 10 year old son! [emoji51] We hope to be buying or building a house in the next year or so. Can't wait to be a homeowner again!

And Nice! How did the ratchet straps hold? And how easy or difficult was it to lower the top when installing back on the Jeep?
