Hkak45's BD Build and Trips log

Yep just a straight swap of the Bilstein and shocks. Upper control arm is the same on the models. I go in for an alignment and wheels put on Thursday so I'll let you know how it goes. Just be careful as each model has different spring rate depending on doors, engine, model, ect so try to swap it wit a sasquatch that is same trim and engine as yours.

Appreciate the info! Look forward to seeing the results once you have the tires on

Shift boot from @RedlineGoods arrived. Came very fast and first glance the quality looks great! Can't wait to get it installed along with my white shift knob

Installed the Bestop soft top today. Took almost 6 hours total. Love the look of it on the 2 door!

Installed the custom Shift boot and shift knob today. Love the look of it! Only issue was the leather was thicker than the vinyl boot so it cracked the shift collar plastic and made the seam of stitching open up a little bit. But still pleased with it!

This is awesome. Where did you get the shift boot from?

How is the highway noise with that soft top compared to the hard top? Mine is annoying me because of weather seals whistling.

The soft top is really good quality so far. Super tight fit and I like that. Road noise is just slightly louder than the hardtop once I get above 55 MPH on windy days. Below that it's better than hard top noise.

Install wasn't bad but I would recommend two people. Took me about 6 hours so not a quick install by any means but it wasn't too difficult.

Overall I like it better than hard top since it's easy to go topless. I may never put the hardtop back on.

I was just going to ask. Is it a huge undertaking to put the hardtop back on?
