Roll Call check in....since I have been trolling this board for a bit while ordering.

Live outside of Charlotte, west side of LKN. Jeep has been delivered and I am picking it up this Saturday. This Jeep has long distance plans with the wife and I. Pretty excited. Here is a pic from dealer.....cant wait. Fun will begin.

@Sean L I noticed in your garage you have the Trek top fast back on your Jeep now. How do you like it? Specifically does that back window flap especially at highway speeds, does the tailgate seal tight (they were having issues with this, anything else?

LOL...yup...went to trade him in; wife said NO way. Had the TJ for 19 years, leaks like a sieve, cant park it on other folks driveways but my daughters and wife live for the weekend jeep rides. Originally drove us around the everglades searching for wild orchids and last 14 years has served us well for country drives....Probably time to update it and pass it down....

I didn't notice any flapping noise when I drove in to work this morning. It seems like early issues have been resolved. Its the black diamond top so fitting was tight but it should stretch out well enough over the next few days once the sun gets a chance to shine on that vinyl.

I love the color scheme with the Green paint and the tan top with half doors!

Okay so when I went to get my wife for lunch, I hit a spot on I-40 and I-74 that I usually get some good crosswinds. The back of the top started flapping pretty hard here. It hasn't happened driving other places yet, but it looks like a small velcro strip should put a stop to it.

Let me guess... you need to put the strip at the top of the back window where it tucks under the top?

yep. I'm about to suggest that @BestopTeam should start making them that way.

OK guys the stickers are in!!! Here's a pic on my Jeep and you can see why I ordered the size I did :)
Also got a sticker I had seen in Shawn's Rubicon Trail thread that I liked.

Alright cool just keep me posted on it.

Cool. Told the Mrs. and we'll see. She's bummed because she's Jeepless but I told her I'm totally cool with riding shotgun in mine since it hurts her neck to be a passenger lengths of time. I'll let you know.
