How did everything look?

Welcome! It looks great. That's a great project for you both!

The Xtreme Hard Top arrived a day early. The box took a little damage under the front of the top but it was packed really well inside and the top is in perfect shape. It is a really good looking top. Sealed it back up after inspecting it. It will likely be 2-3 weeks before I can install...

Lot's of work to get my Phase 2 done! I ordered the Xtreme Tops full Scrambler hard top. Mike there has been great to work with. They built it and shipped it out from Tennessee. I will have it here in CA next week. Here are some pictures he sent me:

Thanks @rubclt ! Just ordered the tailgate letters.

Is that your Green or Red Scrambler. And is that unloaded? And if that's unloaded, it's odd that your rear with an AMC 20 is heavier than mine with a Dana 60 and 35" tires. (including the 35" spare)

Test fit the Jeepair AC unit to my dashboard. Since the dashboard is totally custom, I was worried I may have fitment issues with the areas that stick up behind the dash. I did have to undo my very neat and organized wire looms to get it to fit but I think we will be good. Need to cut the...

Amazing how much pork my Scrambler has! Unloaded: 2,360 Front 2,540 Rear Gross Weight: 4,900 Loaded: 2,360 Front 3,060 Rear Gross Weight: 5,420 Loaded is with 23 gallons of gas, 6 gallons of water, Dometic Refrigerator, Gazelle tent, spare parts, tools, recovery gear , food and...

Such a gorgeous Scrambler! Are those tailgate letters available somewhere? I want a black set for my Scrambler.

Yes, that's definitely something we're addressing. Fortunately, we have been investing using a "3 bucket strategy". 401K, Roth IRA's and an after tax Brokerage account. We're able to pull some from each during the three years and stay under the MAGI cap so we qualify for ACA incentives...

"Phase 2" of my build has officially been started! The plans are to increase the highway drivability for distant Overlanding/Rocklanding trips. It runs great now with the V8, 5-Speed and 22 gallon tank. The problem areas are heat, noise, dust and lockable storage. When my F350 died and...

Couple pics of mine. A trail in the nearby Lassen National Forest: It was "really" tempting to try and crawl across these, but I was by myself. A quick tailgate meal. Mosquitoes were out for blood. The Thermacell you see on top of the Action Packer really works great. I actually carry...

A thing of beauty! Love it.

Great! Thanks for the feedback @HighSierra CJ Mike at Xtreme Tops is taking some measurements I sent of my custom roll cage and seeing if the rear section will clear the hard top. If it does, I will likely order one.

@HighSierra CJ Thanks for those pics! That helps a lot. It's going to be close with the two outer latches. My cage curves around before the outer sun visor screw holes. I may have to make a custom attachment. I'm not too concerned about quick release. Did adding the additional two...
