Jacking up on the roofline:

Jacking on the right fornt corner:

Jacking done, drilling out spot welds begins.

6 hours later, roof is off:

Rear door reinstalled, the geometry of the hatch had been askew and the tailgate had been jammed, if you notice in this pic http://colorado4wheel.com/images/libby/libby49.jpg
The gap between the rear tailgate and the body is quite large there, it is now fixed and operates properly.

When I moved in I only had 2 lights in the garage, the ones on the left, well I went ahead and put up a bunch more, so its nice and bright!

Ordered my parts from the dealer, when I checked about all of them before they told me it would only take a day to get them in, this time they tell me 3-5 days for the roof panel......grr

soo....All my parts will be there tomorrow except for the roof panel......which if I am lucky will be there on friday at the earlyest, and tues next week at the latest(memorial day is mon)

You could turn this into a "How to retrofit the new KK canvas top into a KJ"

That little bit of jacking did a lot, didnt it?

Nice lighting!

RAG TOP! Like I said before, it is great to be able to see what is going on under everything w/out having to hack up a KJ myself. I am getting ideas that I have to keep chasing out of my head before I get in trouble. :shock:

So, how much $$ is the roof panel?

Will the roof pannel go back on with epoxy,or are you going to spot it back? Inquiring minds want to know.

It would be quicker and stronger using the expocy,I've done many roof skins,quarter panals,and door skins that way.I was supposed to replace my roof skin with my hail damage,I just bedlinered the roof instead,to bad you couldn't do that with this one.

Can you snap a couple pics from up high, looking at the roof opening, from the front and back? Please?
