Ordered 3/28 and picked up 7/22. love the color, but I need to get to work on upgrades.

*update. Instaled Bilstein 5100ā€™s on clip 3 and instaled the 35x12.50 Kenda Kleverā€˜s. I need Sasquatech flares with the wheel offset and some rock rails next.

Weā€™d love to help with suspension or lighting. More parts coming soon.

How do you like it? How is the sound compared to the hard top?
Installed it yesterday, have not driven it yet. I am sure it will be louder than the hardtop but if it is like our Jeeps it should not be a huge difference. The fit is really good, tight panels, had to slightly modify a couple holes to get everything aligned. Overall not a bad install, little over 4 hours.

The one quick observation is that the top does not come with any hydraulic supports which help in lifting the top, unlike our previous Jeep tops so it is a little awkward when lifting it by yourself. The top likes to twist/bend.

My 2 year old order showed up at the dealer yesterday. I'm not sure I'm going to get it though. I was impatient and bought a WT in Jan and have it about where I want it. They offered me a great trade value on my WT and I could walk out with $1k in my pocket. However, I have about $15k in mods that I would have to remove, or lose them (dealer doesn't want any of them except the winch/bumper which they offered $1k for). It was a PITA installing everything and would be a real hassle to undo it all. I have through the weekend to make up my mind...

I had a Wildtrak that I sold when I got my Badlands. I prefer the Badlands but I did like Sport mode in the Wildtrak. I can always add it through Forscan if I decide I really want it bad enough.

Yeah, I really want my order and I'm having a hard time letting it go - feels like I have a lot of emotion invested in it. Regarding the WT, other than washout interior and the SBD, I don't feel like I'm giving up anything. I have the better steering rack in the WT and have plans for mitigating the sway bar while offroad...
