The wife actually likes the look of it as well.

To anyone that has installed this...have you noticed a big increase in wind noise? Does it vibrate at highway speeds? Can additional light pods be added on the pillars? Can you upload a picture of the inside cabin looking outward so I can see the obstructed view if any please.




Just popped my first post cherry, woo hoo!

Why not just have a fabricator cut out a pice of alum or something to cover up the trim arround your windsheild and use 2x adhesive tape to secure it. it will do what you need and not look terribad at the same time. or just buy a large sheet of lexan and so the same thing. lexan sheets are only like 20 / 30 $ and you can cut with just about any fine tooth saw blade then just paint it black to match and blend in.

All the fags on FB are tripping over themselves to buy this steaming pile of shit. I cant believe how much it cost on top of looking like a third world abortion. I unfriended 3 people that argued with me about how they liked the look.

You must have seen this shit then.

The only thing I like is the rocker protection.
That grill overlay winch mount grille guard bumper skin thing on the front is odd.
The Mohawk dealy and the different light bar setup are definitely nothing close the op's main post.
It's really only a JK body. Their stuff is usually really pricey so building this thing was astronomical in cost to a stock jk.

It's just funny to look at. It's cool, but so odd.

Jesus christ you guys are some hating ass dudes. Do I like it? Meh, it would be cooler if I could buy a new window frame with the option for built in led lights and snorkel so it isn't so bulky and mad-max-ish but am I going to sit here and bash it and shun people who like it? No, cause I'm not a dick. Some of you people on this forum

Thank God someone else sees the situation this way. I guess some of the people on here have nothing better to do but bash others lol.

I acknowledge that I can be a hating-ass dude and a bit of a dick. That said, it's fu*king horrendous. It will always be fu*king horrendous. The only way it could be worse is if all the china-knockoffs start flooding the market.
