An 09 JK in hand!

[PhillipG65]

I am on the hunt for the very best price on a 2009 Jeep Rubicon JK hard top two door with out doors
I do already have the hard doors
Ultimately will be putting on the roof rack
Any and all input is great
So far I have found one at 4x4 Parts for 2001$ delivered to the store on Federal and 67th Ave
Also have found a roof rack for a soft top that is 1050$ and it locks over the front where you can release the locks and the rack folds back to fully expose the soft top
I'd prefer the hard top first then the rack
Tell me what ya'all think

============================

There are a number of good options for a rear bumper mounted tire carrier that will also hold high lift and gas can and other stuff like shovels etc. I like the weight back there rather than on the roof. Plus jeeps can use a bit more traction on rear wheels sometimes and weight on the rear axle helps. Front bumper and hood can also be a good spots for the high lift (if you even want one..but that is a whole 'nother discussion).

Looks great - congratulations!

Now, you'll want to run some of the same trails you did with the truck and see how different (better and worse) they are with the jeep!!!

I'm a huge fan of lockers. IMO - better than a winch, better than high clearance, way better than my hi-lift.

Congrats Phillip!

That looks to be the AEV tire carrier and the Call of Duty bumper (maybe?) on the rear. I think there is a kit available to carry a couple of gallons of water in that bumper with a hand pump to pull it out. There should be a shovel holder built into the carrier, but for a straight handle shovel, not the D-handle in the picture. There is a Hi-Lift carrier that bolts onto the lower right side with u-bolts as well. Same carrier as I have, there is the integrated gas "can" available as well. A bit pricey, but a nice package altogether.

Nice rig. I was curious how you were going to mount a JK hard top to the bed of an F150. Figured you had some mad scientist scheme.

You can also put a rack across the back cargo area so you can keep tool boxes and coolers and so on underneath and bags of clothes etc on top. No rear seat of course.

Just remember that when you have a soft-top jeep everybody that carries a pocket knife has a key to your jeep. Think about what you keep in your jeep and how you store it and when you are wheeling, how you secure it so you don't end up with flying objects.

Congrats on the jeep.

Here is the pump and the whole kit, from the AEV website. Do you already have the tanks in place?
