Has anyone used these in a Wrangler (model?) how have they held up when exposed to the weather: rain/sun etc. Are any special brackets required?

Put mine on a cj7. Fit great bolt right upComfortable and they look great. Use same bracket. I put seat cover on mine.

I have them on a 97 TJ. I've had them in some spots where I've had to crank it hard to get out. And 1000s of miles everyday wear and tear. Not a single rub.

They hold up fine in wet weather as they are an outside shade. I have 5 on my deck and it's rained several times and I've had no issues thus far.

My trailer stays out in the weather all the time. They still work. So they must be weatherproof.

Haven't put them to the test yet, but they seem fairly water resistant. The back panels, towards the rear wheel, feel a bit more "rubberized" for better spray protection from the wheel, but I'd recommend treating these with a good silicone boot/tent waterproofing spray, especially along the seams, for better weatherproofing, or do what I did and order a couple of small backpack covers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2FKECA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) for extra protection.

I have them on my jeep wrangler and love them but weirdest thing the driver front and spare seem to appear dry rotted so that is a big conern like how long were they hanging around and stored before being sent to me

mine are about a year old, no issues with the powder coating but my Wrangler is relatively low miles, not used offorad and stored indoors. Ironically enough, these bars have minimal impact to ride height in they way that they mount. They were well built....

No you do not. Mine worked out. Just fine. I just put those on in June n then rode from,Washington to Oklahoma .... Had no issues

O rings have been secure enough for me, at least for the two months I have been using the mount. I'd suggest getting a couple of spares for each bike . . . just in case. How will extended periods of sun and rain affect them? As I said, just in case.

I have used the Ultra versions of these and they are very bright but like you say they dont work well in rain. I have since used the xtravision ones. Love them. they are a lot brighter then stock and work great in all weather conditions. I have used these in my last 4 cars. Excellent A+++++++++++++++

I am located in Arizona so my experience is with respect to high temperatures. They do get water due to the sprinkles and I had no problems. So I see no problems under rain but snow conditions may bring a different response primarily at subzero temperatures. In any case they are very well built and the LED is well protected

Yes. Just keep them pointed slightly down to keep the rain out of the bass port. They don't need mounting brackets. The back is sloped so that you can hang them tweeter down and they will have the right downward slope great speakers for the money!

Mine are still beautiful. My truck stays in my garage at night but I haven't seen any signs of weathering or wear resulting from driving in the elements, day to day.

I have installed a pair to my jeep wrangler in Dom. Rep. And the temperature have reached well over 93 degrees *F

Not sure what you are having trouble with. putting hard top back on? What year Wrangler ate we dealing with? Make sure you attach the brackets to the vehicle first but leave them very loose to allow play for the step bar allignment. Also, very important---the brackets are specific to their location on the vehicle. They are all marked as to where they bolt onto the vehicle. Once you get everything finger tight then go ahead and wrench everything tight.

They work well for my 2003 and 2010 wranglers. My only gripe is they are not as thick and heavy duty as I would prefer. With that being said, they are good choice for the price and have worked well for me.

I would not recommend these for a Jeep. If you want some good speakers for your Jeep that are able to withstand being exposed to various weather conditions I would look at a set of 5 1/4" Pyle PDWR50B for the back and a set of 3 1/2" Pyle PDWR30B for the front. The Pioneers are great in my car but will not work for the eventual rainy day you will see in a topless Jeep. The Pyles are nice quality speakers and are "All-Weather" so you can leave the top down during brief showers etc.. The reasons I recommend the Pyles are (1) Great Name Brand (2) Wonderful Sound Quality (3) All Weather & Water Proof (4) Pricing is Reasonable (About $100 for Front & Back) I Hope this helps. You can see the speakers by doing a Bing or Google Search but I found these at onlinecarstereo.
