Default Wild boar or no?

Ok, looking to buy a hard top, either factory or the wildboar fast back. The only thing that sway's me away from the wild boar is the fact that i can't just drive down to the nearest wildboar dealer and fix any issues i may have with it.

If the oem top came with a liner, i'd probabl;y just buy it. Has anyone had any issues with their wildboar tops? i'm only interested in the 2 door solid version.

Thanks in advance!

Wild Boar all the way, The look is much nicer and I think the design is overall stronger.

Great to see someone so passionate about their product. That's awesome.

Takes away? I think it adds some to the Humvee look. It takes a real Jeep enthusiast to know what you're dealing with anyway...

Awesome, just how I feel about it. Oh, and if you really want to "feel the rain" you could go with the sunroof and open it during a storm. I want a WB fast back bad but I want so much for my jeep that is cheaper. I'll get it, just not sure when.

I want mine in black thought cause a jeep isn't supposed to have a top the same color as the Jeep... unless it's a black Jeep. Anyway, I like the black tops better myself.

I drove down to Huntington Beach for my roof rack and they are top notch dudes down there. Extremely nice, and helpful. You won't regret your purchase from them.
