Default Wild boar or no?

Ok, looking to buy a hard top, either factory or the wildboar fast back. The only thing that sway's me away from the wild boar is the fact that i can't just drive down to the nearest wildboar dealer and fix any issues i may have with it.

If the oem top came with a liner, i'd probabl;y just buy it. Has anyone had any issues with their wildboar tops? i'm only interested in the 2 door solid version.

Thanks in advance!

Wild Boar all the way, The look is much nicer and I think the design is overall stronger.

Great to see someone so passionate about their product. That's awesome.

Takes away? I think it adds some to the Humvee look. It takes a real Jeep enthusiast to know what you're dealing with anyway...

"Eventually if their is enough interest and people decide they really do like the leaky freedom top panels because being wet just means you are really really in tune with nature, "

Awesome, just how I feel about it. Oh, and if you really want to "feel the rain" you could go with the sunroof and open it during a storm. I want a WB fast back bad but I want so much for my jeep that is cheaper. I'll get it, just not sure when.

I want mine in black thought cause a jeep isn't supposed to have a top the same color as the Jeep... unless it's a black Jeep. Anyway, I like the black tops better myself.

I drove down to Huntington Beach for my roof rack and they are top notch dudes down there. Extremely nice, and helpful. You won't regret your purchase from them.
