JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I think I have figured this out ! normal way to have your soft top Notice the straps I added from the body to the rear roof support Roll up the corner inward Add a piece of velcro about 10" long run the velcro through the pre existing 3" strap in the roof Now do the other corner the same It looks better when you don't have the plastic door supports in but you can"t go that fast without them ,But I do it in the city.

Thanks. Been thinking about this since I had my 3rd row seat installed. I bought and returned the Bestop Safari since the coverage wasn't quite enough for the kids in the back. Thanks again! Great job!

Just my opinion but the roof flaps around alot and I think it would wear it!

I do all the time, If my doors are off and the top is down I would leave them in the garage. Any time a pop shower would happen or it was god awful hot I would throw the top up, and be to lazy to take it down again. no harm done in at least a thousand miles driving that way last summer, made a full round trip to boston once.
