Note to self: when instructions say "wait until it's 72* to install Trek top"........ WAIT! Started taking the stock sunrider top off at 11am.......BTW it's sleeting and 32* in south mississippi. Have to leave to pick my daughter up at school at 3pm. I'm by myself, no other vehicle available, oh and did I mention I'm a 110lb girl. BUT.....other than a broken nail......no other casualties.....and complete SUCCESS! Finished at 245pm....WHEW! Do as I say, not as I do!!!! LOL!

Nice. I'm hoping my reversing camera will land today, too and will be mounting it in the same place, right by the hook!! 
The monitor is a tricky one to mount as I have too many gadgets and real estate in cab is at a premium! I plan to shift my CB over to the left a tad to accommodate it, which is mounted above the review mirror. Seems to make sense to have the mirror and camera monitor side by side, if possible. Have also got a Rigid Industries Dually arriving today which will be a rear work and reversing light to compliment the two KC reversing lights I already have mounted by the license plate. The Dually is going just above the spare wheel and should fill the light gap nicely. The Delta Light Bar should arrive tomorrow, too and a few other small bits. Should be a good week!!

I installed everything this evening for the Dually but the wiring was too short so I have to splice in some more wire. A friend of mine did the KC reversing lights for me on a weekend when we worked on the Jeep together. I think with LEDs you just hotwire into the live wire from your standard reversing lights but I need to do some research before I finish mine at the weekend. Electricity is not my strong suit, I'm afraid. You should find some videos on youtube, tho.

Haha if you go back about 20 pages you will see my post saying the same thing! I just couldn't want to install mine, I took my hard top off, in January in 20 degree weather to put on the trek top just to "see it".... What a pain in the ass, took me about 3 hours and also ripped off a few finger nails but got it on, left it on for about 2 days then back to the hard top lol.... If spring would hurry the hell up it will be Black on ASAP!

Very impressed that you were able to complete the install. Never under estimate a mom

Flat Fenders
Finally got my flat fenders!!! 
Started installing those suckers, thought i could do it in 1-3 hours, as mentioned on Quadratec's website... Turns out it took me 4 hours for the driver side front fender, 2 hours for the passenger side front fender, on the next day.. I was driving around with 1 flat fender and 3 stock fenders... looked legit.
So now, i'm 2 fenders down, and 2 to go, it's all going down this weekend though!

Can't wait to get my MetalCloak Overline fenders. These stockers have to go. They just don't look right on my rig anymore.
Just installed My Poison Spyder Rock Rails, Body Armor and B Pillar Armor. My lift goes on this Friday too.
