I don't know about the old version, but I do know that there are fitment probs with the new version. Which they are trying to get worked out before production. I saw the new Trektop prototype in Moab, they guy was at my hotel. Minor issues, which will most likely be resolved. I think wayoflife has run the old trektop with his rockhard cage, he could tell you if he had any issues with it.

just saw this thread.
I was "the guy at Moab".
The proto did fit over my Rock Hard cage, but it was very tight stretching it over the rear section on my 4 door because the very rear is slightly higher than the stock sport bar. Bestop decided to "make some changes" before final production and shipment (probably attributed to delays). i love it as it is, but look forward to eventually changing out to a production model.
Here are a few pics:

I didn't didn't put in the forward most bow/bar to allow for some slack to the back. That works fine.

yes, i run one on our orange JK and so long as you have the OR-Fab cage installed correctly, it fits without any problems.
