Wheels look good. Now for those windows
Sent from my EVO-3d using WAYALIFE app.
Yeah no doubt! I will be getting a new Bestop here soon. Gonna tint my windows as dark as I can. Im really liking the darker side of the Red Rock.

Rattle can. Duplicolor Semi Gloss. Skuffed the wheels with a scotch Brite pad (red), blew of the dust, wiped it down with surface prep and viola!

Installed the Bestop Trektop NX this weekend. Now I understand why everyone recommends waiting for a warm day to install!! But patience is not something I'm known for! Does anyone know how long it takes for these things to break in? I had such a hard time latching it at the windshield header I'm afraid to unlatch the thing!
Also, having a long arm upgrade installed this week!

Just finished the coilover install by getting the new control arms on, extended the axle breathing tubes, and bled the brakes...
I had to let a little air out of the rear tires to get it out of the garage, but got to take it on its first test drive!

Nothing like having to air down your tires just to get out of the garage!!

When I installed mine it was about 75 degrees and the top was sooooo tight that it BENT the channels on the bed for the top to fold into. BENT THEM... They bend back easy but DAMN!!!

I dont want to derail this thread, but was it because its the Trek Top and not the regular square back that made the install so difficult?

I have two holes in my roll bar padding because the instructions are so well written. :cheesy:
They make them tight because they stretch. If they made them loose then they would be really loose after they stretch.
Has anyone who's installed the trektop had problems with leaking at the header bar?? It seems there's a pretty good gap from where the hard top used to sit!
I understand the reason they need to be tight and the finished product was worth the sore hands
Here's a before and after of my rig. Thanks again for all the input and complements, gentlemen!!

That is a night and day difference! Looks good!
The gap is the same as the factory soft top on mine. Although I have yet to wash it since installing the new top.
