    hmmm... Might have to bring the ice and casting gear then. Over the summer I was up there with the family and saw all sorts of big fish just swimming around the lighthouse. Now that my friend and his wife moved back, I can drop my wife and kids off with his wife and kids, give them a credit card, then go fishing all day.

    Thanks for all the tips on the 3rd Brake Light. Need to get the tap for behind the Tail Light and I will fabricate a mount with wiring inside a black braided loom and disconnect at the Rear Corner. Been nice if Soft Top had stitched in some loops in the corner to the Center for black loom covered wiring going to the tail Light area. My Daughter does leather work and can make a proper rivet hole in the material for the Brake Light Bolts and wire to go thru. I will make sure I buy a extra LED Brake Light just in case it goes bad later and save it. I like the set up the guy makes to plug and play! Just need to buy one from him it looks factory. Figure a disconnect right at the back corner no extra wires showing short and sweet. Un plug fold it up or remove. Nothing on the pipes at all I can glue the loops onto the inside for the wiring. Pictures when I do it. Just using a little bit of everything I saw others do for theirs.

    Get these lights add 3M double sided tape and stick it to the top edge part of your tailgate right in the center. Run the wire under the top cap of the tailgate, down into the tailgate and follow the power lock loom and tap into the tail light brake wire.
    Use the K.I.S.S. principle!

    Use this type of tap for the wires:

    Just ordered those lights, assorted loom and heat shrink with a pull apart Junction has a cap on each one with 10 ft of wire on those ends. Only splice will be at the light and at the Tail Light Tap. Still need to get that $25.00 Pre/Made Grey Tap coming left a message. Heck I have little over $100.00 into this with a extra Brake Light. Did not know Softtoper gave free shipping to Military? Wonder if that was also for Disabled Vietnam Vets? To late now.

    Don't want it on my Tail Gate then I would have 2 - 3rd brake Lights when the top is removed or folded? Got the adapter ordered off here that was to easy shipping it tomorrow to me!

    Couldn’t agree more. I grew up here and live about 10 miles outside of the city, but work in downtown every day - what a hole that’s become.
    Sorry for your troubles as that would tick me off, too. Hope you get it sorted.
    And to stay on topic, installed my DMM this past weekend! Love the clean look and functionality. CD663AD3-3582-44D6-9BD9-9B9341C3D14A.jpg

    Got my Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro kit dialed in. 3" in front and 4" in rear.

    Big thank you to @GHOST SHIP for the install and cab mount chop. Highly recommend you check out his thread for fab/install work in the SoCal area -- I'll definitely be back for more in the future. Highly recommended!

    lol, reminds me of my '99 Grand Cherokee I had with a 5in lift and OEM tires.

    Never lift a WJ that high if you're not going to put the money into the suspension that it needs to not have deathwobble.

    Took some night photos to show the AJT Radio Knobs I put on today. I like these much more than the RAV4 knobs I was running.

    Well, when you look at it like that, it really is not THAT much considering it lasts for 5 years.

    And you are right, it looks amazing!

    I like the look of the topo map. Is that from a particular place or something you drew up?

    Looks great! I'm waiting on my Softopper I ordered back in November for my Cement Taco too! Your truck gives me an idea of how good it's gonna look! :thumbsup:

    And there's a small Muskie statue in Nevis where I grew up. At least there was 50 years ago.

    I'm still waiting for my Softopper as well but I've already started getting all the goodies I need for the third brake light. I got a plug and play third brake like tap from a TW member. It's a great way to tap into a taillight without cutting any of your factory harness.
