Yeah, or even better get a vinyl wrap for them. Black vinyl wrap in that dimension is not very expensive. Hope it works out for you!
Oh damn that's a good idea... anyone know a vinyl that's close to the factory white?

Dibs on the black one with white doors!!! I might get the door painted Sting-Grey actually. That would look cool. l I just hope they get back to me first. Email is already sent! Lol

Finally installed my canopy today. The fit and finish is great and the lines on the V2 match up perfectly. Even the supplied mounting hardware fit well.
Color match is fairly good.
The load bars in the picture below are the RLD 60", they're spendy for what they are but on my soft top i need the extra height.

Yes!!! Finally someone with a soft top and an RLD. How does the soft top fit when its open? Does it contact the canopy with its fabric? Or framework? I'm okay with a little fabric resting on the RLD but I'm scared of the framework riding on it and wearing fast over bumpy roads.

May we please see more pictures of the soft top open? And which soft top do you have? The regular or premium tweed?

It looks brilliant, by the way. I love how the soft top is lightly higher than the jeep hard top, which makes it the perfect height next to the RLD.

The top opens no problem and doesn't touch the canopy.

Thanks so much for the photos! Clearly no contact at all, this is perfect.

Weirdly enough, my soft top looks like it sticks out the back a little farther somehow? In my 3rd picture my finger is touching the hard frame bar inside the soft top folds which definitely sick out past the rear window. Maybe there are differences in the soft tops between regular and twill? Either way it looks like it is all well above the height of the RLD and I shouldn't have any issues!

I checked. He has two as of yesterday coming in the next shipment. One Grey/Grey, the other Black/White. If you order now the next delivery would be in July (I would guess 'earliest'). I want black/black, so I'm going to order mine I think. I'm not counting on getting it until August.
Just ordered mine. Tom at Adventure Ready still has the grey/grey on the June (arriving) shipment. The July shipment is sold out except for a black/white with sliding windows. I'm on the August shipment :(

Tom said things are better in SA, but now we are having some issues with the US port customs running behind.

I sprang for the RLD Awning too. I might as well Just Empty Every Pocket, right?

Well, my deposit/order is officially in! Went for black on black with no windows. And 60" load bars to mount a RTT to. I seriously considered the black with white doors, but after looking into how difficult it would be to remove hinges, windows, seals and latches, I decided that would be too much work.

You were all right, Tom was awesome to deal with. I really need mine before September (big road trip planned), and he thought that wouldn't be a problem. Fingers crossed!

Awesome. I have a big September trip in planning now too (it was supposed to be my May trip, but...).

I'm building my rack out of anodized 80/20. I need to keep the height of the RTT down, as with the suspension upgrade, bigger tires, Front Runner quick mounts and a normal rack it's getting VERY close to my garage doors. I really want to keep it under shade and lock, so I'm going to use 80/20 to mount my Front Runner Quick Mounts to the canopy, then build a rack around that to hold lights, awning and other stuff.

I'm hoping I can attach an awning to the load bars with some modification down the road. But I'll have to wait till budget allows. I may end up attaching 80/20 to one side of the load bars if thats what it takes, or some kind of custom solution.
