I went with the black diamond. I actually don't like the look of the twill. I had this top for my JK, too, and couldn't wait to get the newer version for my JL. Love it!Lookin good! Is the Trektop twill or black diamond? How do you like it? I am about to pull the trigger on a Trektop. I also have a granite crystal JLUR. Seeing the one on yours just sealed the deal for me!
Sorry, just saw this now. They estimated 4 hours to install in the instructions. Took me 3. It's not hard, just time consuming. BUT when lifting the assembled top onto the roof it might be a good idea to have someone help. I balanced it, and it slid off and put a large J shaped scratch in the rear driver's side door
I did not remove the tire - there is no need since you can just open the tailgate for the rear assembly. I guess in the picture it appears the tire is removed, but it must be the magic angle - it's there, but you can't see it.
I wouldn't use the term flapping since the bottom of the window is secured by the tailgate bar, but when I hit high speeds (over 70ish) it does a ripple-like thing which can be annoying. I will say that he aerodynamics of the JL seem to be quite different than the JK (which is no surprise based on many significant changes) so the way the air circulates around and through the hard and soft tops is very different as well. With the hard top I have many more issues with air pressure when the windows are cracked or only certain windows are down. Now this with the soft top rear window. None of it is a deal breaker, though, in my opinion.
