Good morning! So I installed the Squadbox in my jeep yesterday. I have to say the install was a bear, but the end result was totally worth it! The one thing though is that the instructions aren't great! I think if it had better pictures with 3-D renderings of the parts it would have gone a bit faster, but I took my time and thought through it. I didn't have any real issues. If you have the one-touch skyview top, you will absolutely need to remove the rear quarter panel windows, but this thing will install without removing the top.
Here is a link to the site: https://www.squadbox.us/
I purchased it in Black with the molle panel system and aircraft rails.
Here is my honest, unbiased review:

Here is my honest, unbiased review:
Pros:
- Overall build quality was outstanding. Everything lined up and fit together nicely.
- Could be installed in the one-touch skyview model since you can install it without removing the top (Diabolical system requires removal of the top, so that was a no-go for me).
- Super quiet (no vibrations, squeaking, etc. so far
- Integrated molle panels are super nice, and the front panel molle can go in or out
- Both front and top panels can easily be completely removed if you need to carry something bigger
- It does seem very secure, although if you leave your doors on, it would defeat the purpose of the security since someone could just unlock the doors (and therefore the tailgate) to gain rear entry
- No special tools required.
- Expensive
- Instructions were very hard to follow in some cases, and the diagrams are almost worthless
- Instructions estimate 2 - 3 hours. I'd estimate it's closer to 4 - 6 hours.
- Installation was probably a 6 out of 10 for difficulty due to poor instructions, but there is a video on youtube of installation in a JK. This helped a lot even though mine is a JL.
