i meant your next jeep are you going Tan and OD green lol, yeah get he black one for now you wont regret it, it really is very handy to have. I put a full size glock 40 up there with an extra magazine and it does not sag at all. The wife puts camera, extra smokes lighters, girlie stuff she needs. and we have also used the larger bag for snacks and crap on road trips.

Smittybuild GEAR overhead console
I have this installed in my 08 JK. The install required a little patience but in the end I love it. It does block the rearview ever so slightly but it hasn't bothered me in the least. The three piece hard top functions perfectly everything fits. ONE MINOR MOD on the drivers side piece of the hard top the front release that connects to the passenger side hard top part. When you lock the two sides together the little black lever goes up over the G.E.A.R. console and is too difficult to reach. I simply drilled a small hole in it and made a pull tab. Works Perfect. I think I have some pictures i will post. MY QUESTION is will this overhead console interfere with quck detach windshield channel for a bikini top? 
no it does not block the passenger view at all, I love the tan and so glad I got to get it. are you going tan and OD green. If I did not already have the red Wet Okole seat covers That is what I would have done, OD green tires bumpers and Waht ever else I thought would need it LOL, MY sone painted his entire jeep OD green and it looks sick and is trimmed out in black.
