how come you didn't use 2 of the old lights off your no longer being used light bar for the amber tail lights?

cut out the 'mesh' and they'd be more accurate then those autozone ones with the frames only on the sides.

I was going to say...

They were a little big. Although the correct lights are roughly 4" x 6"... and the ones you have are actually a little smaller than that. (But they look good!)

So what is that thing that is on your rollcage? It looks like a soft top roller or something?

It's the soft top hardware stowed half-upright, in exactly the wrong way it's designed to be stowed. *shake fist at JP production crew*

Ohhhh, I see now. I thought it was some aftermarket kit that was never mentioned.

Nope, it's just like what they came with, just stowed wrong.

This is how the soft top hardware is supposed to look when it's down.

Having it up like you see in the movie makes it much more prone to damage (passengers like to grab it instead of the rollcage) and it rattles like you wouldn't believe. Some bungee cords and electrical tape can give you a pleasant ride like you see in the movie, though.

Yeah I always see your soft top with the bungee cords and tape. Will have to remember that when I get mine.
