The RRC went on very easy. They bolted right up to the body mount points. It was a very fast install. It took about 30 min. I did have to run out and get a torque wrench. They had certain specs to retighten the bolts. So far no squeaks but it’s only been a few days since the install.

Welcome back, brother! I, too, am serving overseas in the sandbox and should be home in early October when I can take delivery of my '09 Rubicon and start modding!

I read on RR's websithe that you couldn't get the endcaps with the pre runner bumper because of mounting conflicts between the 2 parts. I see you can. In your pic it looks like the tip of the prerunner sticks WAY out infront of the grille. Do you mind measuring it out for me? I really want the pre runner (no end caps) or the stinger with end caps but cant decide. I want to have the best aproach angle without sacrificing my view. Hey where are you at in Miss.? I go TDY to Biloxi in late Oct and plan on bringing the Jeep down maybe we can go wheeling.

Not at all. See Post #1 --> Bestop Trek top
looks good to me!
There are other options for that style of top, I have seen a few, but this one from everything I have seen just far outweighs the other offerings.
When i need to replace mine, this one is being considered. But until i see firsthand and read peoples reviews i wont be dropping the cash on one. I need something as waterproof (or more so *L* ) than the factory ragtop as I run it all year long through Northeast winters. Anyone who has ever been in Buffalo NY in january knows the the score there. ~can be a little harsh at times with wind & snow.

I am up in the northeast part of the state. Just north of Tupelo MS. Its on the other end of the state, but if you come through here sometime let me know. We will def go wheel.
