damn - if you're that lazy...

but hey it has benfits:

"No more struggling for minutes" whoa - minutes? damn my time is worth at least $1000/minute

"...allows the top to be lowered or raised in seconds with the simple push of a button." let's see, takes 300 second to lower it or 5 minutes to do it manually -- hmmm what to do???

Rugged Ridge should've stayed focused on their snorkel

It could a purpose but then it takes power and hydraulics and such making removing the top completely a real pain. Then again it costs 20% of a JKU Sport...

What I don't get is that they probably spent a lot of money on R&D for this thing meaning they expect enough people to buy it to cover those costs plus the costs of the top and parts also, plus make a profit.

I just don't think that many people have 5K to drop that fast on their car. And if they do then they are probably on this forum and are going to get a Pro Rock or lift+tires+gears+bumpers+winch+wheels+... well you get it haha

I guess RR thinks different

Can you really put a price on laziness?
And how cool will you be crawlin' over speed bumps and those wicked concrete parking blocks at the mall, all the while never having to get out of your Jeep to "put your ragtop down so your hair can blow".
