Any videos of the hard top removal yet? One big advantage the JT should have over the JL is the ease of removal for the hard top.

It'll definitely be the lightest one to remove yet. That being said, I think if I get a GoFastCamper top for the Jeep that it'll be too cumbersome to remove the top with the camper on. /c: I do look forward to some additional action shots of the different things in motion.

How long until we see people putting the Gladiator top on the Wrangler?

Similar to the CJ8 tops people fab onto other Jeeps.

We had videos almost immediately of the top removal after the JL was shown last year. Surprised we haven’t seen the same on the JT.

Seems like the back portion will be very small - but with the bed in the way a little awkward. You can roll up a lift to it. probably easiest would be some kind of garage hoist.

I am guessing the back half of the top will be under 50 lbs since there isn't much to it. If you are used to taking the top of a JL/JK off then it should be easy to get off.

Definitely should be light. Just seems to be awkward place to pull it off from unless your standing in the bed.

My thought was just that. Stand in the bed move it back a couple feet. Sit on the bed then with two people walk it off the back. I hope it's that easy at least.

Based on how it was taking my heavier top off my YJ back in the day by myself i think it will be pretty easy just hopping up into the bed, grabbing the top in the middle and walking off the back. With only 1 fixed back window and no wiper assembly im guessing it will be 50-60 pounds.

A stand may be nice that is up tall - pull it off from the bed and the stand is high enough you can lay it on the stand from in the bed (with the stand pulled up to side of gladiator). Then just roll it back up to the side of the gladiator - jump on bed and take it off stand from in bed and back on.

Will the rear window be separate from the top?
