    Soft top and rubber weather stripping

    The question is which way does it fit. I have some picture. Pic #1. On the contrails, the wider flat side is against the contrails. I think that is correct. Pics #2, 3 and 4. But on the B post up rights, I am not sure. Logic would be to fit the same way .... wider flat side against upright...

    Quickjack

    Hi, would appreciate seeing the block set up if possible. I am looking at a 3500 but the 5000 is on sale at the moment locally. I need enough room underneath to be able to run a new fuel line and then change my exhaust system. Do you find you have enough room? Thanks for posting this. Regards.
