I had originally (I only heard about the EXO-TOP about a week ago) discounted this set-up since I didn't like how it would push my kayak further back from my current set-up. But after considering the costs of a soft-top and the Sherpa (plus the added confusion of liking the fast back soft top and how it probably looks awful with a rack system) this is looking like a stellar product and priced right. The fact that it allows you to be top down without having to even think about a kayak and a bike mounted up top is simply AWESOME.
I'm going to assume that it is impossible to slide the hard top under the rack. I haven't looked at any of the installation instructions.

Correct. This will not work with a hard top. I have a video of the install (all except the soft top install). PM me if you are interested and I will send you the link. It's not ready for prime time but it's close.
I am also working on a review.
Here's a pic of my rig for you...

Thanks for that. That's the pic I've been looking for, too. Some of the RR shots include their light bar which balances out the look IMO. Looks like you have a different light bar, but the overall look of this has grown on me very quickly. I'm liking more and more that the soft top "works" with the design of the rack, especially at the back window. I was finding that trying to imagine a fast back soft top with squared off racks was driving me crazy.
Great looking Rubicon.
