I got mine with its stock foam, but I think it is too soft.
I am thinking to order a set of nova Dual Stage 4.25T, is it the right size for 1.9 Pro-Line TSL Swamper?

the stock foams are much to soft if you have anything over 6 lbs and you try to side hill. they really tend to roll over... and yes those ones are the right size for the tsl's

So am I correct in assuming that your roll cage is made from tube and not rod??

Seems that drilling and tapping a small rod would be an adventure all in it's own!!!

in the last post i made a full soft top but decided it looked like shit so i went with a bikini top and imo i think it looks much better and the 1:1 seems to run a bikini top more often than not so here it is on the trail. lemme know what you think!!

Great work on that TJ man! Definitely love those rear fender panels with the larger screws to mimic the bolted on effect!

What's that baby weigh in at?

Think it looks good man. Can't wait for some 4.75" TSL's and it'll look killer. You gonna throw som axial light buckets in there sometime? Maybe cut out the grille and replace it with speaker mesh?
