the issue with ace is you have to remove it everytime you want to take off top
is this for real? hard top too or just the soft top?

Looks like the bars supporting the basket go over the interior hard top lip. I could be wrong, since I’m just guessing about any of it, as it’s opened here on the floor in front of me without any included instructions.

Someone else said it won’t work with the soft top at all.

Did anyone ever pick up the ace jl? I want it but not sure I can fit an arb 37 underneath it.
This was my 4DR JL Rubicon. I've switched to a 2DR and ACE Engineering does not make the basket for that configuration. Installing the basket on the 4DR was easy, and I think it looks pretty good.

They make a 2 door version if you request it in the notes. Mr ace said so. I’ve got it here in the box still, haven’t installed it as I’m going to get a soft top soon and apparently it isn’t compatible

For the 2DR I prefer a soft top. So, a basket just doesn't work for me. ACE is a great option for the 4DR.

I like the ACE basket. But the two support rods... mhem at $300+ bucks it looks chintzy.

Like I said, the basket looks good, attachment seems like an afterthought.

My 2018 JLU. The ACE Engineering rear cargo basket fit and looks great. I sold it and picked up a JL 2DR. Unfortunately, options are VERY limited.

I hate to derail this thread but where did you get the clevis mount that goes into the rear frame rail?? Is that bolt in or weld in? I just removed my rear bumper and that is exactly what i am looking for.

That's the Ace Engineering Hammertown Armour. Inexpensive. Easy to mount. Great clearance. And, my preferred look.
