Price no. Ladder yes. whenever the mfg decide to pull the special out. But generally they are pretty generous about it

Appreciate any help you can offer...

I will get back to you on that since I can't remember the exact words was told to me.

Like I have said before. These racks are not cheap but you are sure paying for the great quality and well engineered product.

It took me awhile to decide which rack I wanted. And after months of flipping LOts of coins, I have decided on this one for many reasons. Plus I figure if I am gonna get something I get the best so no regret later. Plus no drilling to the vehicle for some people who hate making holes on their rig this would be great option as well ( not that I really care if I have to drill anything).

My last one wasnt convertible/topless, so the wife is against it on the Jeep, she wants the top down all the time, no rack to obstruct her view. thats teh only negative on the rack, going topless....

I want it for a roof top tent at least. also had my hilift and gas on the rack last time, easy mounting on the rack. they work great.

actually... if you look hard enough the sun roof section is wide open for sky view!!! and there is a optional removable sun roof panel for extra storage.

Now what...

mmccurdy,

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was leaning 80% towards this rack and probably would have still gotten it, but could never find anyone with closeup pics on the JK. Thank you for posting the closeups. The pictures looked so good, at first I thought they were the manufactures advertising pics.

Thanks again
