[@powdersolvent]

Thank you for these 2 door sport videos! Refreshing to see these when 99% of other Jeep vids are 4 door/Rubicons. 👍🏻

[@wayalife]

Awesome, glad you're liking them 😎

[@G_RAThbun]

I just purchased my first Jeep 4 days ago I've already picked up plenty of tips off your Channel. My garage has a 10ft ceiling so I think I'm going to put an electric lift in it using a winch so I can get it all the way up to the top and out of my way. Thank you for your video

[@jaybailey5150]

I need those new Mopar half doors so badly! Eddie and Cindy, you guys totally get it! The Wrangler 2 door’s 20% market share be darned! Lol So thankful to see the 2 door love!! The Jeep Wrangler 2 door is the spiritual successor to the CJ, which was the legendary vehicle that made so many of us fall in love with Jeeps. And it’s exactly why I bought a 2 door JL Rubicon in 7/2018. This is such a wonderful new series to watch. Thank you again!

[@wayalife]

Happy to hear you’re liking our new series 😎

[@Baffi_]

This is the first thing I thought of when I drove my new JL home. Great vid bud, love this

[@wayalife]

Glad you liked it and congratulations to you on your new Jeep.

[@cspnboy14]

You sir, are a genius! This is brilliant and I'm going to rig this up this weekend to get the top off of my 4-door. Thank you for this video!

[@wayalife]

Truly humbled that you would say as much and glad our video will be a help to you 😎

[@bongtiamson4368]

WoW this how-to video is spot on... I recently got my very first Jeep (it's a 4xe and lovin' the jeep vibes). Honestly saying I'm not a handy man but with your awesome video tutorial, It gives me confidence & believe that I can do this by myself. Planning to visit Lowe's this weekend... keep making videos, you are helping a lot of people like me.

[@catfishmudflap]

Your Jeep looks great. Half-doors and no top is the way to go! Best wishes.

[@wayalife]

Thanks! 👍

[@clintonwilkie8142]

That’s funny. I talk to my Jeep all the time. Even wink at it sometimes and tell her stories of the places we will go. I’m on number 8. Maybe I’m crazy. Love them jeeps!!

[@nachovalenti]

Great video Eddie and I love the new member of the family. Many thanks for sharing to you and Cindy.

[@wayalife]

Thanks and glad to hear you’re liking our new Jeep 😎

[@markclaypole1573]

A set of 33” ATs on those stock steelies would set it off perfectly! Love the simplicity.

[@wayalife]

That’s what we’re hoping for 😎

[@reidfive0]

Great video! I followed your instructions to a tee (the front straps are done differently as my YJ roof is different) right down to the zip ties, and it worked perfectly. Wish I could add a photo to show it. Thank you so much for posting this video. Much appreciated!

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Glad to hear our video was able to help you out.

[@tgilliss]

I have a YJ and am thinking about installing this in my garage. How did you adapt for the roof?

[@fasterthanyou7605]

Once again incredible videography and as always your videos portray deeply the name of your channel and what it means for your Jeep and you to have a “way of life”. If you know you know 🤷🏻‍♂️ thank you so much for the content and we hope to see you on a trail one day! It would be an honor!

[@bobbyrussell4802]

Just finished installing this set up for my 2 door JL rubicon. Worked like a charm. Love the videos and your video on keeping it “stock” talk has encouraged me to run this Jeep stock for a couple years before modifying it. 🤓

That is awesome! Glad to hear it :)

[@randylong8156]

Such a cool toy all for about the same price as a side by side can't wait to see you out on the trails with it.

[@markclaypole1573]

I’ve been saying this for the last few years. Not so much with the JL, but up here in Canada when you could get a 2 door JK for under 30k, I always wondered why people bought side by sides..

[@wayalife]

And you can drive it everywhere and all year long 😎

[@jbroadventures5656]

I usually reverse straps so you can just pull straps down to take up slack and use other hand to take the weight on one corner at a time goes much faster and works with rooftop tents too

[@DUNEATV]

I tried this and if you reverse the straps in my opinion it makes it harder to ease the top back down. Because the release is up high close to the ceiling and you need a ladder to go around. If you have it the other way you can actually reach it by hand.

[@michaelmorr4403]

I cant wait to see you two do some offroad trips with it just to see how it does. Even if the trails are moderate. You are a very blessed man! My Patriot self indentifes as a Wangler lol

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Hope to get some videos up soon.

@@wayalife Eddie, do you know of a highly experienced YJ repair shop that knows YJs inside and out that is close to Napa, CA 94558, I’m desperate. You have so many Jeeps you could start a Jeep dealership. Most youtubers are building the 4 doors or trucks, I think doing a 2 door will be fun and exciting. Thanks for all your content.

[@wayalife]

@@dougharlow6037 What kind of work are you needing to have done?

[@dougharlow6037]

@@wayalife I have a very bad vibration/chatter, like I had no motor mounts, in 1st and reverse gear, only when engaging the clutch, after engagement it’s fine, and only happens once in a while. When It’s not happening it drives like new, and you can’t make it happen buy abusing clutch engagement. I’ve had it to several 4x4 shops, transmission/clutch shops, S & H 4 Wheel Drive Service Center in Sac., Drive Line Services in Sac shop, etc. I first thought it was the rear differential, so I installed a Eaton Detroit Truetrac Differential, new axle bearings, diff. bearing, seals. The only thing I didn’t do was the pinion bearing, had to move the Jeep to a different location. It’s hard for me to explain the details when typing.

[@wayalife]

@@dougharlow6037 I would definitely pull the carrier and give the pinion a closer look. I had a similar issue on my JK years ago and it turned out to be chipped teeth on the pinion.

Late to the party but my wife just got a JLUR 4xe and I opted for the JTR EcoDiesel. Home for a week so both soft tops are going on. Long time follower...first time poster...I think lol Cheers

[@wayalife]

LOL - awesome! 😎

[@jslpjj]

Thank you so much for this video. I added a pulley to this because I have a 4 door Jeep, also a female, and the top was too heavy for me to lift. With the pulley I can now lift the top by myself.

Recently became a Jeep owner and think this is the route I want to go. One challenge I have is my garage ceiling is concrete. What would be the best way to fasten eyelets in a concrete ceiling? Thankfully, I already have a hammer drill. I imagine some specific sort of anchor will be needed(?).

[@wayalife]

You would need to drill and install sleeves that allow for bolts to be threaded in.

[@tony2246]

I have watched both the two door and four door version of this, why don't you use a 2x4 for the front as well, instead of just the hooks?

[@wayalife]

Technically, you don't need a 2x4 at all but it will help for long term storage. That said, it's difficult to the 2x4 in up front and still be able to pull away from the top. You can always add it after the fact though for long term storage.
