You can find pictures on line. Not a great match. They have a flat black option that doesn’t cost extra and matches better.Has anyone ordered a shell with the OTR coating on it? I'm curious of the color compared to the black hard top> Thanks.

I added the Yakima rails, but no bike rack. I got them for a future bike rack or for my Yakima basket if I need extra storage.Has anyone added Yakama bike racks for the ARE cap? When I travel I’d like to have the bikes on top of the Jeep.
Yakima racks are expensive and require additional accessories to lock everything.I added the Yakima rails, but no bike rack. I got them for a future bike rack or for my Yakima basket if I need extra storage.

The only thing the Yakima racks need is the lock core- they come separate so you can buy a matching set for all your stuff. Yes, the stuff gets expensive fast, but I've had my Q-towers since 2000 (mounted to 5-6 different vehicles), Control towers since 2006 (truck cap then JK hard top) and Railgrab since 2013. they still make replacement parts for everything and its STOUT!Yakima racks are expensive and require additional accessories to lock everything.
I want to make sure I make the right choice. We’ve got ebikes so they’re about 40 lbs without batteries and front wheel.
I watched a few videos about loading roof racks. If I do it on the cap I’ll need a step up. I suppose there’s a technique that will need to be used... where to grab the bikes...The only thing the Yakima racks need is the lock core- they come separate so you can buy a matching set for all your stuff.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to hoist a 40lb bike onto a roof rack either.
The bars I have on the JKU were bought for my Tundra cap, so they're 66". On the Jeep, they're well above head knocking height (not the case on the Forester or Odyssey). I have the bike racks mounted outboard of the towers. this lets you lift the bike straight up, rather than up and over the roof. The original owner left some obvious front fork scuffs in the hard top from missing the fork mount.I watched a few videos about loading roof racks. If I do it on the cap I’ll need a step up.

Trade off on everything.
I’m also looking at 1up USA options.
That’s a great idea. I don’t have the bar on the cap right now. I’ll install them tonight and lift the bike up in that area.The bars I have on the JKU were bought for my Tundra cap, so they're 66".
