So looking at the pictures how exactly do you install the corner without drilling?

I think there are better racks out there than that one.

yea after seeing the side slide off like that as much as it is cool totally lost me and looks WAY to flimsy for spending 1200 + shipping i would look at the wild boar ones

Looks way to restrictive and awnings are cheap and easy, I'll take the MBRP anyway !!

This seems like a MUCH more sturdy product.

So that's yours with the rack on it? How do you like it?

Yo redneck, I am really happy I ordered it in Dec '08 and it's multiuse on my JK, is hard to beat

I don't plan on removing the hardtop very often, course then you wouldn't have the rack, but

I didn't want those spindly tubes sticking all around my jeep and you have to, accept that if you want to be able to tilt the rack, for use of your jeep with out the top

Nothing is perfect, although my wife and I did
"LIFT" the top after I installed the rack, so removal of the hardtop is EASY

I have a new place in Nevada, that has a HUGE garage, so i'll rig a hoist for my short removal times, in the near future

I'm not committed to the new additions MBRP is adding to this rack, I'm satisfied with it, just the way it is !!

I hate all these drilled rear quarter panel installs. There's no way that can take the load and vibration over time without weakening and eventual failure.

I've seen other rack brands (that will remain nameless) with drilled rear quarter panels cause that vertical seem on the quarter panel to crack and flake paint. There's no way I will ever install a rack mounted like that.

jsmoriss has a pretty slick rack and canopy setup. Look him up and check with him. Garvin rack with canopy brand I can't remember.

That's not the loading point at ALL. Look real close at the design. It has reinforcing braces that bolt to the inside and distribute the load to the tub. THAT'S what holds the rack up. There's no load on the sides of the top at ALL. At least that's how the MBRP is.
