If it is a 3 piece hard top I’d be interested in knowing the dimensions of the rear section. Curious if it would fit in the bed of the truck under a tonneau cover? From the looks of it. Would probably be a tight fit.

It’s a 3 piece.
Looking at it I would say no it won’t fit.

That is what I figured. Thanks for checking!

Does the sign say that it has the hard trifold tonneau cover? And is that hard cover on it? Love to see pictures of it, same thing for the rear bumper side steps.

How much plywood is in the bed?

Real question: did it meet or exceed your expectations? Or not? And why? Please show your work for the class.
Like many I have obsessed about this for a very long time.
This thing is better then even the pictures makes it look.
I have changed my opinion on one thing. Going to go with the Rubicon. The red dash and look of the truck look so good in person.
Plus I can just have it all done up front.

Can you ask anyone about the soft top operation? If I wanted to take it off completely how difficult would it be? I hate the sun rider position.

I wouldn't expect to see either of those things until after launch. Like, months after launch.

See these 2 posts. Would be great if you could check out the rear seat supports. If the under seat storage box is removed then we think that these may be what holds the seat bottom (and people sitting on them) in place.

I think the seat support is here:

FADCD159-F7E9-40D5-A190-1B6DCCCD3FE0.webp
0646A17B-02CA-45E0-B410-6E144ABB8CDF.webp
Makes sense. Great catch. Looking closely at the attached picture I see some little square areas with what looks like a mesh in them and I guess that these could be the supports. Can only see 3 of the 4 of them in this picture. I drew a yellow line leading to them. Mystery may now be solved. Thanks

I tend to agree with you. That’s why I will not have anything Mopar related tied to my order. Will get those things ordered separately so my truck order does not get delayed.

That's about the only perk for me for waiting for a late color. In theory I get to see what's holding up orders. If the late colors orders open up at the same time, then I don't know what I'm going to do, particularly regarding the trail rail / locking storage.
