BullDawg Jeep Hardtops - Features & How They're Made
In this video I travel to Hixson, TN to visit BullDawg Manufacturing. A hardtop facility that specializes in Jeep hardtops. At this time they offer a hardtop for the CJ7, YJ, TJ, LJ, JK. As well as some awesome half door uppers for CJ7, YJ, TJ, LJ platforms. These tops are packed with features such as side opening windows, multiple roof rack options, sunroof, custom colors and much more. I was thoroughly impressed with the facility and craftsmanship of the tops. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
Lastly I pickup my LJR from Hudlow Axle and briefly go over some major upgrades to the Jeep.

    Thanks again for showing us some great CJs. That golden eagle J10 is nice. I think a lot of newer jeep owners forget that a jeep is a utility vehicle. From military, farms, snow plows, mail delivery, and even running from T-rex😂. So when someone turns them into mall crawlers, it's against the grain of normality.

We did pull it to Southern CJ and camped that Friday night . My kids had a blast . I may go to the Jeep invasion, haven’t decided yet. Carb vs fuel injection… I’ll keep my WEBER carb . It’s been weberized since 1993 . I keep a rebuild kit and a fuel pump under the rear seat . Factory carbs are garbage and I would fuel inject in a minute if I still had the factory setup. Fuel economy with my Weber and the 258 with an automatic transmission is around 20 mpg on the highway. Pulling the overland trailer about 14-15 . We keep missing you at the events , hopefully we will catch up with you in Aug. or Sept.

    If you have a jeep tj I recommend the following. 1) if you drive it in the winter, wash it after every snow to keep salt off the vehicle. 2) drop your skid plate. Remove any surface rust, then liberally apply grease to the mating surfaces, and reapply from time to time. This keeps water and salt from penetrating and rusting out the frame. 3) I pour differential fluid into my frame every spring after a good wash. 4) treat the surface rust on the frame. Buy a grinder, use a wire wheel, and apply a quality paint. I have a 99 TJ with 325k of hard miles. It’s never lived in a garage. I have recently had to replace torque boxes and some of the body steel, but the frame is in good condition.
