What an episode! We install a modern Sentry hardtop from Patriot Fastbacks (patriotfastbacks.com/shop) on our 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon! Previously it came with a worn and torn fast back soft top which was very noisy, didn't insulate the inside very well, and had tons of leaks due to the less than desirable zippers. Factory hard tops are becoming more difficult to find and come by these days, and when you do find one, they have been used and abused. With the patriot top, you get some serious quality, literally rhino lined, insulated, and even has room for the wiper and defroster. Comes with Recessed and tinted rear windows, and best of all, the company is run by US veterans, and all the tops are built right here in the USA! Seriously so cool!

I love you guys literally your videos are the highlight of my day😂❤️
I have the same year and color Rubi. Yalls looks great. However the one item I want most I can't find. What are those front fenders? Thanks
I love that hardtop! Easy install too. Thanks guys, you both do a great job! I am in for the headlights and throw that Patriot pen in there too, that looks like a great writing implement. lol

Man the struggle was real...lol half way through the struggle made me love my rag top more 😁 keep up the great work guys 🙂🤙🏽
Thanks 👍
That’s a very nice top! I like the fact that you showed some of the problems that took place on the install. Not as easy as tossing it on there especially with the weight of that thing! Hope it really cut down on your noise level!
Cool video guys!! Have been looking at this hard top for the future and y’all did a great review!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey GC! love the videos! My wife and I own a 2011 JK, and have been shopping around for some new headlights. These would be a great upgrade from our awesome 10 foot vision, stock orange/yellow lights! Haha. Great content and we always look forward to your videos!

I recently bought a 2001 tj and have discovered your channel as a result. I am about to start my journey modifying my tj, and these headlights will help make it just that much cheaper for me to obtain my dream jeep here in New Jersey.
Congrats on the TJ! Unfortunately the giveaway has ended, but we have two active giveaways, be sure to check out our latest videos to enter those! Good luck!
I'm waiting on someone to make a hardtop with the removable side panels like the JL but for my TJ
That would be awesome!

Great video guys and great looking top. I've got an 07 Sahara that had a soft top when I bought it so but I've really been wanting the hard top.
Thanks for your support!
Looks absolutely awesome! I always enjoy watching your videos
Thank you for your support!
I live in Northridge California and my TJ is an 03 , I can really use those head lights as the ones I have on are two different brands . Love The Videos!!! and the excitement.
Nice! Greg is from northridge too! Unfortunately the giveaway has ended, but we have two active giveaways, be sure to check out our latest videos to enter those! Good luck!
Great looking top and great video. Just FYI your footman's loop is in center of windshield frame, just above your rearview mirror. 2001 TJ Sahara
Nice! Thanks for this!
Your wife there is really good some subtle low tone sarcasm. And she's good because she does it with a smile.
Desktop feel like how the rear windows are set up.

Great job and good looking hard top! Take a look on amazon for a garage shelf that raises to ceiling. Turns that install into an easy job even Greg could do 😉. Aleen, I know you would have done it right the first time. Peace and ❤️
Thank you so much! We have something up our sleeves, stay tuned!
Those headlights would look great on my TJ rubicon ! Here in Tucson AZ ! Love the channel !

I know you will love your new top. I'm still running factory headlights on my 2015 JKU sunset orange Rubicon. I'd sure like to put your LED's on my jeep. Have an excellent week!
We love the top!! And that color is amazing, enjoy it!!
What's funny is I put that hard top on and take it off by myself every year. Lol. And I'm 5'8 and the jeep has 35s and a 4 inch lift. Lol I guess people are right I really am strong. Lol I even carpeted it last summer and LOVE it
Thing is this top is super heavy
Ben from Maine, they will go on my tj, just purchased some for my 2012JK
jazz tj 06 soft top i love this im going to look at patriot right now
Lol that tj looks like it got a military flat top haircut
This is true!
You did a great job on the hard top install.
Thanks 👍
😁 amazing getting a those little Parts out of your way that hardtop goes on nice and easy
You got that right!
you probably have to adjust your doors by the hinge bolts to fit the top perfectly. The doors on all CJ, YJ, TJ's shift with use.
True!
My 2013 JK from Chicago wold look great with those headlights!!!!!

Love my hardtop. Always put it on for winter. Upstate NY can be cold and snowy. Would love the lights. Been thinking about upgrading from stock.

Love the top! It does look sick. Lights would look great on my 2015 jk in Ransomville , NY
Thank you for your support! Unfortunately the giveaway has ended, but we have two active giveaways, be sure to check out our latest videos to enter those! Good luck!
Definitely a frustrating job, But youse did great. I have a 04 LJ with an aftermarcket two piece had top. I hang it from the garage ceiling with wratchet straps 2x4s and a few I-bolts for like 50 bucks. One man on and off but still takes forever. Put a removable moonroof in it and you'll love it.
Ahh hopefully one day we could have a tall enough garage to do this!
Awesome love your guys videos
Did you end up having the solution for the latches? Also did you have to make any modification? Or JK hardtop just fit perfectly for TJ?
Love the channel keep up the great content. Fargo, North Dakota 2008 Rubicon JKU
Thank you for the support! Unfortunately the giveaway has ended, but we have two active giveaways, be sure to check out our latest videos to enter those! Good luck!
Dont feel so bad aileen my wife literally cried tears when she helped me put my hard top back on and i have a jk not a jku so the top is smaller with no roof part.Greg you should put the top on an angle so you can get your hands out then put the back seat down and get in and use your back bent over to lift it and set it into place.It looks great congratulations.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that! This is true but we have a trick up our sleeves for the top!
You should put some limb risers on the TJ, I just spend around $25 at Lowe’s and built some and they look great!
We have been thinking about it!
Its so weird to me that a Jeep wouldn't come with a hardtop, but I also am in cold Canada, haha! That top does look pretty nice though - love the headliner, recessed windows and steel plates! The only thing I would want personally is the 'freedom' style top for my TJ (like the JKs). This video reminds me I need to swap tops soon too, haha!
Yeah that would be pretty cool! Did you swap tops? Cheers
@@Garagecouple Oh yeah, got it done! Good thing because we just got about 20cm of snow (about 8"!)
Awesome top!! Nice lights as well
thank you so much!

Footmen loop is in the center. That way when you drop the windshield it latches to the loop on the hood using jeep provided velcro strap
Got it!
Nice job and it's look great,
I have a question is there a specific reason why your fire extinguisher is upside down...
No specific reason! Thanks for your support!

Wow I think you should trim rubbers and weather stripping and I think doors will fit better but mine went on a lot easier than that but I had everything ready to go and read the destruction beforehand. Awesome job none the less and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words!
I need to find out if they make one that would fit my 04 LJ. I would still use my soft top during the summer months
HAHA the lifting was sketch AF LMAOOOO!!! I love it!
It is VERY heavy lol!

My name is Joey. I’m located in Hickory N.C. area. I have a TJ with stock headlights and they are very bad. I’d love to have those to upgrade my Jeep! On these backroads there are lots of deer and it’s very hard to see. Keep up the good content, I enjoy it!

The top looks great! Never seen one before
Thank you! We love it! Nothing but compliments on it!
*What about the center twist locks by the dome light. do you have to tighten them down also..?*
The tj doesn't have those
Seguin, TX the headlights would look sick on the " MINOTAUR" 07 JK. Ur hardtop looks great.
Unfortunately the giveaway has ended, but we have two active giveaways, be sure to check out our latest videos to enter those! Good luck!
QC on the top very poor. I returned the one for my TJ because it was such a poor fit. I will be interested in seeing how the seal on the windshield hold up to rain and highway. I ended up finding a used hardtop and it fit perfectly.
Sorry to hear that! We love ours so far, will keep you updated with how it holds up overtime!

They make a convertible soft top for the TJ where you don't have to take the whole top off it is boneless with no extra hardware that basically takes up your trunk space also they sell a two-piece hardtop so you can remove the peace over the driver but leave the back on

Thanks for this Video, guys! Quick Question: Where did you get your hood stickers? Thank you.
So I’m Very Curious about getting one of these hard tops for my 02 TJ. And since the company is only a 90 minute drive away, it’s even more tempting…. I am curious through. What was your impression of the top over time? I believe you ended up
Getting rid of it. I’m curious if there was a downside to it? Would this hard top handle being winched on and of a couple times a year and did it keep a good Seal? Road noise? Rain leakage? Before I throw down 3k for it, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

They would look great on my '02 TJ Sahara! Looks just like your old TJ :)

Would honestly go really good on my 2004 TJ, would love to start my school year with some new headlights!!😊

Should have paid extra for the install. Slamming the door shut isn't good. Means something is either in the way or adjustment may need to be done.
It ended up settling itself in
I’m just outside of Atlanta GA, I could use some new head lights on my 2018 JKU!

I know this video kinda far back but did we ever get a review vid for after it’s been test driven?
I would love to try those headlights out. The stock ones are very dull. I have a 2017 jku and live in Wisconsin. Could try them out in winter..

You need to get a harken hoister for taking off and putting on your hard tops, makes things so much easier!!
We have something up our sleeves..stay tuned!
Looks great you guys did good. Make or get yourselves a top lift for garage ceiling.
Great idea! We have something up our sleeve!
That top looks AWSOME
Thank you!
Great looking jeep. After watching the installation of the hardtop I was taken back to when I first removed mine. Best thing I ever done was purchased a Top Lift Pro. It works on my 2005 tj perfect. I can now remove and install my Top by myself in just minutes.
Yup! Check out our toplift pro episodes :)a
My 06 wrangler would love those lights here in Augusta Ga
