    I love it that Bec's LJ is lurking in the background begging for attention. I was hoping to see that cj sling some snow.

    33rd! Was late, getting my front diff evaluated - bearings maybe… Bec and Chris in rain, wind and snow, Kevin and Brit in sunny warm…(I know where but I ain’t saying). Nice, fun work again, as always. You two work so we’ll together! LiteBriteNationTopsInJeeps!

    Set an electric heater inside the Jeep, it will soften the top so you can stretch it easily. Works!!

    While I was recovering from a bad motorcycle wreck ( airlifted from the scene with broken left shoulder and broke all the ribs on my left side) I binge watched all of your videos. I’m so glad that you are making your dreams come true and living life to the fullest every day. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    That brought back some memories. I have installed north of 30 Bestops on Jeeps, Broncos, FJ 40's, and Scouts. I don't miss it. Good job guys.

    Out of two Cjs and one JK, the only top that didn't leak was the soft top I bought from JC Whitney many years ago. All my hard top Jeeps leaked water.
    The best part about a soft top is when everyone else is scraping the ice off all their windows, js a good smack from the inside shatters the ice off.

    Put it in front track then lay it on the hood and run the engine. It will heat it and make it more playable for install.

    Get at least a kerosene heater or torpedo heater to to chase that chill out. Next winter; have that used motor oil type heater system installed that'll really help! ☃❄🚙

    Should have fired up that jet heater and put the soft top in front of laying over something so the heat could get under it and soften it up a bit. lol.

    Beck, you can call me any time to put a top on. This could had been so filled with "Innuendos". "Put it on outside". "Call your best friend and he can help you put your top on" and there was so much more. Is it me, or am I becoming a dirty old man. I blame Kevin and Brittney then!!

    Chris, the measurement isn’t a 1/4” too long, it’s only an 1/8”. Time to break out the heat-gun and work the top a bit. Getting an 1/8” stretch over 75” is nothing.
