I ordered mine for the JKU from Quadratec last Wednesday. It's on backorder. Is it the OEM style 3-piece tailgate bar with the left retainer, right retainer and tailgate bar all separate - NOT riveted to the bar? Because I was going to order the OEM tailgate bar with the retainer clips.

Looks like I will have to order the tailgate bar and retainer kit from Quadratec after all.

Hmmm, well this one just unclips from the tub and you can roll with the bar in place or slide it off the window and then roll. It seems to me having the bar in one piece would be more convenient than 3 pieces. 
I really don't get why they didn't just make the bar the same as the TJ bar. The top clipped to it just like the side windows do to the body rail. You could easily separate it from the bar or roll the bar up in the window. That style makes more sense than this c rail thing that can only be removed by sliding to the side the entire length of the rear window.

I reused the OEM tail gate bar with mine. 3 separate pieces (the bar and 2 retaining brackets that stay attached to the tub). Quick to get it in/out or completely remove the rear window.

I wish I saved mine. I had dual tops on my 2008 JKU that I recently traded in for my 2012 JKU Rubicon. DAMN...should have kept the entire softtop!!! I am giving myself a virtual kick in the ass as we speak!!!

I have read a lot of posts with people complaining about the Trektop NX, particularly, the install.
Mine arrived at 11 AM today and by 12:15, it was on and fits like a glove. It took about 30 minutes in the 80* sun today to get it all shifted/adjusted right, but all zippers are buttoned up and she is nice and snug. If you've been on the fence about this product, don't be. I really don't understand the issues I've seen with the install. Instructions are straight forward and if you ever had a Jeep soft top before (CJ, YJ, TJ or JK) you will pretty much be able to look at the parts and assemble with no issues.
I also ordered from 4WD.com, who had some real mixed reviews in the past. Dealt with Bustabiz....ordered Thursday morning at the best price I could find shipped. The top was on a UPS truck Friday and here today. I'd definitely use them again.
If you're looking for a soft top, this thing is the tits. Cheaper than an OEM replacement or a Supertop and extremely versatile with all the different configurations it does.
And I know you all want pics....

Thanks for the notes! Can you PM me what you paid for the NX? Looking for the best deal on a summer top.

It looks like you are looking for a price on the JKU Trektop NX. You don't have a 2-door - correct? Anyway, I ordered mine last week and the best price I found was Quadratec - $632.69 free shipping and no tax.
