So, I have a Mastercraft rear seat bracket and removed the driver side rear seat. The top of the bracket is flat and has holes so it was super easy for me to bolt up a piece of plywood to the top of it. I then bolted on the ARB straps to it. Works great if you don't need a 4th seat. :yup:

Oh yeah that’s right. I might buy that bracket. I removed that seat last year and have been without. Don’t miss it.

So, we finally retired our old, torn, worn out and broken Bestop Trektop on Moby and instead of just replacing it with another, we decided to try something new. This is a Rugged Ridge Bowless top and... I have to say that it's surprisingly nice. For how much less they are in cost, I'm kind of kicking myself for not doing this sooner. Installation is different for sure but it is a good and tight fit.

Oh very nice. I may need to look into this. The trektop on mine has seen better days and I really don’t want to spend $1400 for a new one.

Seems the title of this thread changed, which is awesome. Glad you got Moby back in time.

I sure hope you are able to do one last full form JKX Wayalife video project.

Cant wait to see what else pops up in this thread. [emoji869]

Good looking top [emoji106]

I'm a fan of the bowless tops... They are more configurable and easier to store the pieces.

Moby is looking awesome as always, he sounds even better. But honestly I am looking forward to your Videos of the JKX. I think I speak for few of us that we have been waiting for some new wheeling WAYALIFE videos. :drinks: :honey:

That was my thought a few months back with my 2010 needless to say its at Motech after watching the return of Moby I’m convinced it was the right choice and FYI it only took two bottles of Jameson :thumb:

Haha there’s a part of me that wishes I would have gone this route with my 2008 vs getting my 2013. Maybe I’ll pick up another 3.8 down the road for this purpose... 🧐

If there is a downside to running a ProRock 60, it’s that you have to take the whole fricken hub and spindle apart just to replace your ball joints. [emoji849]

Looks great, I ran a similar top on my YJ! I was really happy with it. [emoji106]

What a pain, but I guess it’s a good opportunity to grease up the hubs while you’re in there

What’s the expected lifetime on a set of those joints, running 40s?
Click to expand...

So, it’s hard to say for sure being that we’ve run different wheels with different backspacing over the years. But, I’d have to say that the original ball joints that came on our PR60 seemed to last the longest. Maybe 60k or so. But, since then, it seems that we are getting less miles out of what we have. Could be the ProSteers - could be that we are just playing harder. Sorry, that’s the best I can tell you.

Since we already had everything apart, I decided to replace the leaky axle seal we’ve developed.
