Fixed soft top tension straps that came off of rivets in a couple of places!
Step 1 - open top and place over rear tire to fully expose strap and rivets.
Step 2 - drill or cut out rivets. I cut out rivets with a Dremel tool. Paint any exposed metal from drilling or cutting.
Step 3 - Use stainless self tapping screws and fender washers to prevent the strap from lifting over again. I had drill out the holes a little for the screws. The metal was really hard!

The receiver tow hook is an awesome mod for the money. Mine was $10 on sale at harbor freight and I leave it on there even though I have rear D-Rings now. It is just so handy for a quick pull .

I always hated the way they look, but they certainly are more convenient than D rings! I'll check out HF now. Hopefully shipping won't kill me.

Big fan of the jeep green. Looks sweet, especially with the khaki top. I parked next to this sweet jk earlier today at the depot. I like parking next to any and all jks haha.
in case you cant tell those are chrome stockers.

Cut the rubi rails and pinch seams to make room for 35's when wallet allows. I was bored and wanted somthing to work on.
Also extended my breathers on the axles.
Next week its a hi-lift mount, tailgate shock and rear trackbar bracket. (Waiting on the mail.)
