Top is for real.... I'm with most of you but there is a market (we hope) and when you see it in action you're like.... Coool and WOW that was freaking easy.

I have signed off on the revised summer toppers for the 4dr and 2dr. Because of the new top design (2010 - 2011) there was a need to rework these tops. The Summer brief for the 2dr will be next along with the mesh versions. This revised design will work for all JK's 2007-2011's... Expect to have them in the next 60 days.

As for the Snorkel..... Work is progressing and will be getting first run prototype samples for review. Still looking like the end of Summer into September at this time.

We are working hard to get it out.. Also did our first install of a new front bumper system today... I think it looks SWEEET! But then again one would expect that.

im sure my wife would love this option. theres a reason i didnt show my wife how the doors go on or off, and how to put the top up or down. if its down its staying down and theres nothing she can do about it but if there was a button i could just see it now. no hunny its over 50 the top can come down its warm enough. wifey pushes the button and my day is ruined but it would make getting the jeep naked that much faster. push button top goes down while i get the doors off. hmmm only in a jeep

I spend more time unzipping windows than dropping the top. I want a button that makes the rear window easier to zip/unzip... Okay I'm done whining now!

Or maybe just windows that could fold down with the top.

I haven't checked back on this thread since my original post last year... I can honestly say your snorkel design is perfect for me.

I never once thought about a modular design, but it makes so much sense and is perfect for me since 85% of my driving in on road.

Well done.

One question, which has probably already been answered... will this design still be available in a low profile ram intake (don't really like the looks of the low profile round canister design)?

Dust really isn't a problem for me so just the one main filter is fine as far as I'm concerned. I have no need for a pre-filter.

You're right.. it's already been answered.

We are working to have it ready by midsummer (new bumper solutions). They are designed to be very light weight and I think good looking. The rear will be a new approach so kinda taking a risk with this one. The front has a very styled look that is also functional. The front will still allow the use of your factory fog lights and has been designed to be used with or without a winch plate.

Stay tuned. When I get the OK I'll release images. I think that will be about a month out.

As for the Snorkel you will be able to use a Ram intake in the low mount a little later after the first release. It will use the same adaptor used for mounting the pre-filter down low. Not a fan of the look but that's what makes the system fun.. You get to make it your product. NO one likes their Jeep to look like the one parked next to it.
