Great to see some Canadian products available for the JK. From Ontario no less (I'm from Ottawa).

Question about the roof rack. I assume if I were to remove the hard top with the roof rack installed, it would simply be a matter of removing the interior screws that attach the top to the vehicle, and the rest would follow. Is this right?

Any plans on designing a tire carrier in the future?

Nice roof rack. What's the weight carrying capacity of the rack? If I remember the SEMA pictures correctly, it's tied to the bed rails on the inside of the top isn't it.

Thanks,

Our initial prototype we have tested up to 350lbs without any issues. With the redesign and the adjustable center section we are going to hopefully rate it up to 300lbs. I just want everyone to know, because this is in the late development stage, and we are taking pre orders, if anyone is not happy with the final result we will be no means hold you to the purchase.

We want everyone to be totally satisfied with the product they are purchasing.

The light bar is going to be a production unit shortly. The initial prototype we built for our SEMA JK but it was a big hit at the show so we decided we should be offering these parts for everyone to take advantage of.

Our CFO actually drives the JK as her daily driver and we understand that the police may have a problem with a LOUD exhaust. This system is relatively quiet until you really get on it. She is often on her phone running around town and has no issue with the police or talking business when she is on the road.

You are correct. I have attached a few pictures of the brackets inside the hard top. You would simply remove the fasteners at the bottom of the bracket. The hard top would lift off with the rack intact.

Alright,

Lets get right to it. I have got a 08 Unlimited Automatic 4dr with a Banks monster exhaust on it. Not impressed at all with the banks. Yes it sounds very good, the tone on the exhaust is very low for a V6.

But I hate the loss of low-end power. I called Banks with this and was told. All ehaust systems work different on each motor, and since their was no workmanship problems with the exhaust system their was nothing they could do for me in the way of return or refund. Thanks Banks

Now to your exhaust, I did listen to your sound clip, seems ok, something I could live with. But what about power LOSS, Is their any at all ? I saw your dyno sheet but what about seat of the pants feel ? If I buy this exhaust and feal I still have a power LOSS will you take back the exhaust ?

Just exhausted looking for a good exhaust. Hope you guy's can help. I know RIPP likes it, so that's a step in the right direction.....
