The best explanation video of a hard top installation on a YJ I've found on UA-cam! For some of us who are new to Jeeping, it's very helpful to see and hear an explanation of the steps and the details, like the foam tape, that would otherwise be missed. Thank you!!
What a great complement thank you so much for taking the time to write it
I just acquired a 1988 Wrangler YJ and this video was very helpful. I plan to change the windshield seal tonight so I thank you for the great information!
Thank you Sir for the help. Today I spent no more then one hour replacing the cowl gasket that has been dry wrought for years. I was afraid the job was too difficult to do myself and I could see spending the $850 I was quoted to do the job. Turned out to only cost $35 for the part and it was one of the easiest repairs that I've ever done to the jeep.
Thats great !!! It defiantly seems more than it is. The windshields are made to put down (-: thanks !
I enjoy summer clothes winter coat. Glad you showed the mirrors too. They confound me
Thanks for posting this video. Great editing and shows all the necessary shots to make my project more easy! Thanks from 1 YJ owner to another.
Awesome. Thats great. The project will likely wait to be finished until spring. I hope the third one turns out good when the time comes to edit it.
Did you usa a hard top seal to prevent throbbing ??
truck cap tape.
I let out a shout when I saw the Nicholson Bridge! My parents grew up in Waverly, and Mom's ancestors were from Tunkhannock & Brooklyn!
Oh - and great video, by the way!
Awesome thanks so much. I am working on a history of nicholson mini doc. Its on the editing board. But still allot to go on it. Waverly is nice. The fancy part of town (-; but this whole area is nice in my mind. Where you live now ?? Check out my diesel engine swaps in my jeep sometime.
A Guy Named Alfons I’m on Cape Cod. Nicholson is great! My Grandfather was one of the surveyors for the train track redesign that led to the Nicholson Viaduct - I posted scanned images to the historical society for their last big celebration. Give us a shout when the history is done! Take care!
Short and sweet without a bunch of useless chatter. Thanks.
Thanks. I try
@@AlfonsLC Well you did a good job. Told me what I wanted to know about replacing the cowl.
Even though I have a TJ it was very interesting thank you
Awesome video!
Nice video thanx for the help
Thank your video was very useful!! I’m getting a new hardtop today and I didn’t know what I needed to do!! And now I do!!
Awesome ! Thanks. Winter coat ?
Yeah!! Plus my old soft top had severe hail damage!!
great video thank you
I would like to see the sealing tape install. Great video. Thanks
Yeah. It sucks. I thought it was recording. But. As you see. It wasnt. /-:
I sure wish I had seen this video before my poor moms jeep got so 😪 down and dirty because I'm going to have to try to clean that bad baby
Great details and narrator voice. Read us a story!
Thanks !
Thanks for the instruction! I’ve thought about installing mirrors in the front like you did, but how well do they stay in place during bumpy riding? I bought some after market door mirrors that would never stay in place while riding, so went back to stock mirrors..
I have a video up with my mirrors. Mine are fine. Its always the same mission. Beware cheap chinese crap and youll be fine.
I hope you’re still answering questions from this video. It was informative and helpful, I have never had a hard top for my jeep and I purchased one from a guy that needs a back window. But, that I see the holes in the front where you can screw it to the front windshield, but I don’t think it’s threaded, or is it supposed to be?
Does your windshield have hole drilled into it already that line up with the tops anchors ?
Anyway. If the holes are already there any screw will do and it doesn’t matter if there’s not holes already pre-drilled in the windshield your jeep did not come factory with the hardtop. I would recommend not even using them as it sell them makes a difference. And if the top is firmly in place it won’t matter and will stay there anyway.
Can you post a video of going back to the soft top? About 10 years ago, I'd heard rumors of a soft top kit that didn't need to be removed to install the hard top, but I don't see how it would work and can't find anything online about it. I want to switch back and forth annually.
I switch back and forth and this is a planned video. If you check out my other stuff. You will see my jeep is now under major mods. When those mods are done. I will make this video of switching back. If there is a kit that does what you say. I have certainly never heard of it for my year Jeep. And the way the soft top works it would require the hardtop be designed drastically different and very expensive Lee. I don’t think it likely
How did you bolt the hard top top the windshield? I bought a kit for my rear hard top bolt but everyone says to use self tapping screws in the windshield but I want something that can go in and out over time without an issue in the front
So. Mine was removed before to put the soft top on. It was just some screws on the front. Across the all metal lip that runs on top of the windshield. I just took the screws out that were there and then put them back in. Im sure self tappers would work. Or drill for whatever size fit through the holes in the soft top
Did you add anything to the rails next to the windshield (ones right infront of the doors) to cover up the holes the softtop left?
I didnt. I know the ones you mean. There is no need to do that. The hard doors seal tight against the windshield and far from those holes. Anything that passes theough them will be well on top of the seal of the door
So the front of the top may not even need screwed?
The tuck rail is screwed down. Not the too itself.
Give me the rubber for the windshield gasket, I can't get it in my country.
I know some American parts store ship international.
Did u get that outfit from Cheech or Chong
Yo mama talking to me tryin to tell me how to live.
