If you haven't seen this, its on the lower end of prices for something new. I saw one on a F-150 in person.

Interesting, not my style but depending on your needs may work for you. I've also been looking for over a year for a used ARE but haven't have much luck finding...
@IAG Off-Road just installed these and wanted to say I very much appreciate the attention to detail of putting felt on the rock rail hangers. I didn't know they were there until I opened the box and was thinking to myself what I would do to prevent friction rubbing and eventual corrosion...
I wanted the full length but low and behold the fmaily got me the standard set for christmas. hopeing to install this weekend. hopefully you'll offer a trade in program with the full length comes out :LOL:
If I'm crazy and there is a thread on this point me at it and call me dumb.
I had some old school Hella 4000 Luminators with a halo ring (they called it a celis ring) in them and unfortunately broke one. They don't sell this model in the US anymore and I like the look of a round spot light...
Took the back hard top off for the first time on my 2024. Have a good week or so ahead of me with no rain. Of course the wife doesn't like my storage location so I may not make it through the whole duration :LOL:
Also tried out the mopar cab cover that's been sitting collecting dust...

probably so but i think OP has the right thinking on the riser height alone by not going higher than the rear window. for every overlander that is willing to block their rear view with a tent there are ten regular folks that don't want their rear view blocked.
Love the idea. Like any Jeep product will get more variable opinions than you probably want.
I would throw out there it may not need to be quite that tall. Personally I've found I'm needing only 2-3 more inches in height to get some common sized coolers and storage boxes under my tonneau...
i've never given up stock wheels until there is actually a problem with them (i.e. out of round or badly chipped). i've only had to do that on an XJ and a Chevy pickup both over 150k miles.
2 years and 25K on my 2022
