I just finished installing this a few minutes ago and it was a breeze even with the 3 piece freedom top. You just put the panels on as you normally would then push both up together,lock the front,then do the same with the back.Then do the reverse when removing.
My footman loop had the rivets. The directions said to use a 1/8" bit to get the rivets out. I used the next size up and it worked better. Color instructions help alot more too.
I'll post some pics soon once I get the storage pouches up.

On my '11 Unlimited Rubicon the footman loop is offset towards the driver's side by 2-3". Initially this was not a problem, but after installing it there is no way to get the trim piece back on. The left edge of this unit is right where the driver's side visor retainer wants to be. If it were centered , it would be no problem. Might be able to get something fabricated to make it work, or just let the visors dance around when the road (or trail) gets rough.

It is black and it has all the install parts. Really not interested in boxing it up and shipping, etc. Like I said if you know anyone in the NJ area that wants it. I'm trying to clean out and I'm not into eBay, or trying sell the stuff. Instead of a dumpster, I figure give it to someone who can use it. Thanks

So I really like this unit but has anyone had look making it would on a 2011 2012 hard top yet? It would be nice to see Pics if you have.
If not I might just have to get in anyway and see what I need to do to make it work.
