  • update on the t-top conversion, (pics)

    so im pretty much done, i jsut need to do some cosmetic stuff, but does anyone have any pointers on how to get the t-top brackets to match up with the bolts in the t-top? im having the hardest time.
    Im guessing i need to grind down the waether stripping channle so that the t-top will sit a little lower, i hop that works.

      it wasnt really that hard, cost me 250$ for all the t-top stuff i needed. then used my buddies cutoff blade then like 6 bucks for a pack of cut off blad disks
      +money for drinks and pizza haha
      took about 12 hours working by myself for most of the time. but i still need to get the interior back in order, and those dam t-top brackets in

        Looking good. Are you going to paint your roof black? I hope so.

                          I hope you have subframe connectors. If not, I believe it would be a really good idea.

                              To adjust the brackets:

                              Put both the brackets in and thread the nuts onto the bolts.
                              Insert the T-Top and latch it into the brackets.
                              Adjust the brackets so that they are the correct distance from the ends of the T-top (so you can still fit on the plastic cover and A pillar cover)
                              Tighten the bracket nuts.

                              Make sure that you space the brackets correctly so you can get the plastic covers on...it may take a few tries to get it perfect.
