[QUOTE="chuckkizer, post: 434829, member: 20246"] You are right with the wheels! 32's on 17's. Looks like they are just a bit too big for the back window to lift up. I did have it open all the way I believe. I even tried forcing it just a bit more but was not successful. I think I'm going to get through the summer and then looking at putting a new bumper on with the swing gate on it for the tire. I'm noticing that the tailgate is sagging a bit and hitting the tub due to the added weight of the bigger tire. I'm not gonna put the hardtop on until this fall anyway. Thanks for the info on the harness. I'll probably go ahead and make that investment. That defrost and wiper will be nice for these Iowa winters. I'll probably keep my eyes out for some hard uppers but I don't want to spend a lot of money. The full steel doors I'm getting are about the same price that you mentioned. Maybe I'll get lucky and catch a deal. The idea of rewelding a post is an option too. I'll have to do a little research on that. Any links to videos that you've seen or did you just figure it out yourself? Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
