I'm thinking the RH's look a little beefier, but I have not seen them on a Jeep in person.
Are you aware of any step-style sliders that attach to the frame, and don't require drilling of the tub?
Thanks

It was a great weekend here in DFW. I took the HT off and got my forehead burned.
I love your ride. Grubbs does great work!! It was at their dealership that I first saw a lifted JK. That was last year. I now own one myself.

Have you seen these in person? Or anyone with the Tera's vs the ROck Hards?

I would say to watch the videos on Jeep.com about putting on the soft top. They were helpful, altho i do think they had that top pre-stretched and perfectly fitted.
One thing I found out the hard way was to attach the front of the top to the attachments on the front windshield, but DO NOT fully close the clamps. Just have it ready to close after you do the rest of the install.
A spare pair of hands probably helps as well. But it really isn't all that hard. And it IS worth it! Dallas was high 70's not a single cloud in the sky, and low humidity. It doesn't get any better than this!
Unless you're above tree line sharing a bottle of wine with your S.O.

And I think my wife and kids will appreciate the added width.

The only thing about the hard top is how big it is. I had 2 teenagers help me out to the shed, and I was very to have their help. Torx #40 X 8 on a ratchet and it's done.
