It depends where you mount the pouches. My jeep sits high with the lift and tires so I have to hop in and sometimes I brush my head on the bottom of one of the pouches near the rear. The 2 pouches in the front cover the very top of the mirror but I don't use it anyway cause I have a 37 blocking my rear view anyway.
Other than that,that's it.

I have the Smittybilt GEAR overhead console in mine too. It took a little adjusting and moving stuff around to get everything set up to where I wasn't bumping my big old biscuit head on something every time I turned around. I finally got it just right though and really like it. I was going to get the tailgate GEAR too, but instead I went on www.cheaperthandirt.com and just loaded up on some balistic nylon tactical MOLE gear and modified it. Same quality, much lower price.

The footman loop above the mirror is removed then a new bracket bolted in place. On the other end it is secured with 2 hose clamps on the inside of the sound bar. Pretty simple.

Theres an install guide here(click on fitment tab):

OK Im seriously digging this too. I'm a bit confused though....does it come with just the nylon/canvas (whatever) bagging, or is there a support bar that comes with it?

Oh also, is it affected when the top is down?

It comes with a black steel brace that fastens between where the footman loop was and the sport bar above the sound bar speakers.

It's not affected by the top. If you have the 3piece freedom top you just have to lay the panels down then lift them up together until you can reach the fasteners to fasten the 2 panels together then lay it back down as one piece. Then reverse to remove. Not hard at all.
