Well first and foremost make sure you get all the parts if you decide to buy it. Typically the roll bar brackets and bolts are forgotten. It is also best to get a top that is within your year range. The footman loop above the windshield moved. I'm not sure what year but it was around 2011-2013. Not that you can't use one from another range but you will have to dremel the header a bit to make it sit flush...or remove the footman loop when the soft top is on.

You want:
The soft top and bows
The door surrounds and hardware
The tailgate bar and brackets
The roll bar brackets and bolts.

Here's an install video to review before going to buy one.

Make sure the seller was not a smoker( unless you are). The cigarette smell is hard to get out.not judging bc I'm a previous smoker. My friend bought a used on off craigslist. He got a great deal for a complete top but the seller was a smoker and he wasn't. Tried everything to remove the smell but nothing works long term.he ended up selling it again

Take your hard top off and have the seller help you install at his place "in order to learn how to install correctly" (realistically you get to make sure all parts present, no rips/broken hardware, and all fits well)

Perfect or just trust what you get in the mail and try to get your money back
That said.. it still might look right unless you print out the complete list of parts in the package.
Back in 07 I had to fight the dealer to give me the SECOND box of small parts 'cause even they didn't know it was missing

Thanks for all of the tips!! $1000? I've found 3 including one never used for under $300. You have to love winter prices in Colorado
