How did you do the removable windows on the hardtop ?

Go easy on that 10 bolt:D

Looking good.

Its getting better with age.

How did you do the removable windows on the hardtop ?

I took a razorblade and ran it along the inside edge of the window rubber. after that I was able to pop them out.. then I just made some straps that would push up against the window and hold it in... You gotta drill some holes and its no longer water or air tight, but it is not bad...

Are they still glass or did you go with plexi glass ?

Still the glass ones that came in it

The poor 10 bolt suffered an axle shaft failure this weekend. 10 bolts and 42's aint the perfect match. Good luck with a 60 cause you need one!

John ran one for a little while with 42's and never broke anything iirc:)

:D I got to River Rock, backed it off the trailer... then sat down and had a few drinks... A guy gets stuck on a shelf about 50 yards from where we are sitting. I go and hook up my winch to him and proceed to stall it (he is dead weight) so I do the stupid thing and try to back up... nope drivers side shaft Ujoint went boom. I tried to replace the Ujoint but the shaft was so fd up I couldnt... so we put it back togeather with no shaft and ran it in 3 wheel drive.. I have to say it did alright. Then I broke the right side outer while going up a shelf where I have broken front axles with 35s so it was no biggie. We had a great time.. on sunday we flopped a toyota twice, gotta love the exo cage... Another guy rolled his buddys Jeep and we had to use 3 cables to get it upright again... that was a blast, didnt hardly scratch it.

great time and we raised over 3k in cash and a vanload of toys for the kids.

Looking good Gabe. You don't have any spare Hummer rims do you?
