Very easy installation... nice design... not super happy with powder coat finish, not on same level as some of others I have seen. But overall i think it fits my needs for light duty roof rack...front roof panels remove easily, and so will the top. It adds about 80lbs.

Also installed the rough country jl dual steering dampener... I know this is a debated topic if these are needed... but after install my rig is requiring less steering adjustment and less shake is felt thru the steering when going over bumps...
How did you get the roof rack to translate over since the JK didn't have the extended rain gutters? Do you have a link to the exact one you got? I would love that basket rack. Thanks!

Absolutely! They fit perfectly in the precut slots. The only thing extra you have to do is remove the wiring harness from the old bumper, plug back in the fog lights on the new bumper and just take the excess wiring and zip tie it up so it doesn’t hang. Pretty easy.
Thank you. Makes me feel better about getting a different bumper sometime, and reusing the stock LED foglights.

Not all today, but broke 1000 miles, bought an overhead electric winch from Harbor freight to build a top lift, ordered Topsy brackets and finally got my official FCA recall notice in the mail.

From the pics it looks like there's no way to put the soft top brackets on the corners of the tailgate, do you have a soft top and have you tried to install it?
Not sure. I only have a hard top which fits right on top. You'd have to ask the vendor Backbone on that one but I think the intent was to work with a soft top.

Wow - there's at least 10 dealerships that honor 5% below invoice throughout the nation. Why would you still want to stay with them? Tell them to at least match the 5% under invoice or just walk away... with really bad reviews on social media, of course.
Finally got the doors off for the first time. Loving it.

Very nice! I love the theme. I tried removing the front doors and drove with the top down and really enjoyed it. I have yet to remove the rear doors, since the kiddos ride back there. Not sure if it's legal OR safe :( But ultimately, the process of removing the doors is "easy" per se, but it still freaks me out due to the high chances that paint/interior would get chipped or scratched or marred. Ugh. I haven't removed the doors since, but I know I want to.

Very nice step, what kind is that? I have a Rubicon coming soon and might need to shift from rails to steps if my son can't climb in.
