I have White Knuckle Sliders on mine and agree they are one of the strongest available.
Iām running a RK 3.0 lift with BFG 39ās and my wife has no problem getting in or using them to move around on while we setup the RTT.

Sorry, I misread your question. Yes, Iām glad I went with the full top plate, because it provides a good area to move around on when putting the RTT up or down.
The full plates also help stop some of the tire spray from the front tires.
I have the White Knuckle Rock Sliders and highly recommend them. There construction and fit is top notch. I went with the following options:
.188 DOM Tube Steel (they are heavy, but they are super stout)
Rubicon Rail compatible (didnāt want the exposed pinch seam with the Rubi Rails removed)...
I use the Peak Designs locking MagSafe mount and it has not dropped my iPhone even on the roughest trails. Moab tested by me.

You have to use their Phone Cases or get the stick on adapter to add to your phone case.
You can get the Mounts...
Iām considering a 2-piece for mine an have been looking at the 2-piece options that Knoxville Driveline offers.

I have an AluCab Canopy for my JT and love it. Iāll provide more info on things Iāve done with my setup, but wanted to offer a suggestion regarding replacement of the Rear View Mirror with a Camera.
Check out the Mirror delete option from CMM Offroad. I personally donāt have it, but have seen...
Saw this post the other day and just got a chance to get back to it. I've got a 22 JT Rubicon Diesel and I'm running 39" BFG KM3's re-geared to 4:56 and it's the perfect gear choice with the Diesel. Pulls and shifts just like it did with stock tires and the 3:73 gears and I still get 20+ MPG on...
I use the CMM Grab Bar Ball Mount with a RAM Mount Arm and a Peak Design Ball Mount with the locking feature. You have to use the Peak Design Phone Case to work with the locking feature, but it's a great combo. The one finger release makes it easy to grab and go and it's never released, even on...
I was shocked at how similar HooliganActual's setup is to mine, even the Gobi color. I have a Alu-Cab Contour Canopy with no side windows, a James Baroud Evasion RTT and the Alu-Cab 270 Shadow Awning on a Rhino Rack. The RTT, Awning and Rack were all moved from my JK Wrangler to the Diesel...
I currently don't have a Co2 Tank either, so the Monster Chuck only helps when airing up from the Compressor in my garage. I do like how stout the Monster Valves are, but if I had went with wheels that only had one valve stem hole, I would have went with the Apex RPV's.
I've got KMC Grenade Crawls in Black with Machined Rings on mine and went with the Monster Valve KMC Edition in one stem hole and factory TPMS sensors in the other. The Monster Valves air down just as fast as the Apex, but can air up a lot faster when using the Monster Chuck.
