You really don't lose that much space.

They have a few different options - sunroof, t-top or just solid. I've had Jeeps for years but never had a hardtop. This top has really exceeded expectations. I just thought it looked cool but quickly realized there are many other benefits... The heat and A/C don't escape anymore. My stereo sounds amazing. I don't have to worry about some jagoff unzipping the back and stealing all my stuff. I can hear other people on my cell phone. Plus, you can open up the hatch and let in some air while cruising around.

I really like your set up! It is not too extreme but has everything you need! Well, almost everything, we never know what new toy we might see!

you really dont lose that much space.......but the price is just too much for the product...........also you cant compare a hardtop and a soft top.....there is different functions of both.....sure you have great sound and heat and a/c, but dont yhave the option to take the top off easaly. and enjoy the sun

you kinda have the option with the freedom top. no one rides in the back seat of my 2dr, so the freedom top is perfect for me and my passenger.

lol....all the benefits you listed are because it is a hard top, not neccessarily because it is a slant back.

Though if anyone were to rock a slant back, your Jeep really makes it work with that overhead rack!

Looks good. I wonder how water tight their t-top version is? Hopefully better than Fiat's version.

Storage loss would really come into play most, IMHO, with expo builds... when you have upright storage needs with sliding racks or an Engel etc... but with a Campa USA or AT rig (or homebrew 416 etc) no more in-rig fridge, etc so no concern. But now we are big in the $$..

I have the t-top version of the Wild Boar. No leaks at all from the top... wish I could say the same for the Jeep's A-pillars. Took me a while to figure out a gasket modification to stop the leaking. The t-top on the wild boar is nice as the panels extend all the way to the back seat. About twice the size of the standard jeep panels.

Be careful about buying one. I've had one for about 4 months now and still can't get it to be water tight. I have the one piece top. No sun roof or t tops.

It just doesn't seal worth a damn.
