Would be interesting if jeep makes future gen hardtop even more module where the back qtr side panels and rear left hatch are also modular from the top for even easier storage. Not sure if that is feasible but would be convenient, especially for storage and also would be a one person task.

Can you put the Freedom panels on with the rest of the top off?

Alcohol and some cotton pads seem to work. But I haven’t had mine get scuffed up. I take the freedom panels on and off all the time. But I always put them in their storage bag. And now I’ve got a headliner in there now so it keeps everything cleaner 👍🏻

Most of the people drive with the front panels off when is nice to get fresh air since not everyone have private garage to storage the back piece. If you guys don’t want to deal with the front panels you could buy the Sunrider from Bestop.com for JK/JL. I keep my front panels home now.

Take them back off, and double check the rubber lining on both panels. Then put them back on and make sure there’s no rubber hanging out above the top. Had that happen once with mine. Hopefully that helps!

hey why did you get the 2 door vs 4 door? personally i like the looks of 2 door but 4 door seems to be the most popular choice.
@drivenmad2089
@drivenmad2089 3 года назад
It’s more popular because the 4 door is a better family vehicle than the 2 door. Way more practical. Me personally I always wanted a 2 door Jeep and since I don’t have kids or anything I don’t need the extra seat space. Plus the 2 door has a better break over angle and is easier to Maneuver off-road with it’s shorter wheelbase. Thanks for watching!
