Where is your roll bar? Did you remove it. When you figure out some things you need that I can remove in a n hour or so maybe we can trade. On mine if it can be cut out with a recip or portaband saw removal is quick.

I bought a set on eBay for about $25. 3-4 months ago.

Yes I did, the new soft top comes with a internal frame support probably pretty close to the strength of the OEM bar.
Cool, Thx. Then I'll take $25 + shipping from anyone. I also have a 98% complete center console for $60 + shipping.

Ok so it's not been fun and there's been a few problems so far. However the company says they are going to send some replacements for damaged parts. I'm also only the 3 owner of this new system so there's bound to be issues.
Damage in shipping.
These corners needed to be rounded off with a file to fit the body contour.

Well lots happening and plenty of hick ups. I'm waiting to hear from the owner of the company to see how he plans to resolve the issues. I'll hold out on details till I talk to him.
The canvas is on and despite some problems it looks great.

Update: Not much to report. Still waiting on replacement parts for our soft top. If they work out the kinks this setup will be phenomenal. Bumpers still sitting on garage floor. Been pretty busy with life so no real progress.

Ok well good news. I've learned one of my neighbors is a tenured Toyota mechanic, so we have agreed to do some bartering! I've been doing pools for 15 yrs so I'm going to remodel their pool and he'll remodel our 4Runner. Each person pays for their own parts, but donates labor.
Pretty excited!
If you can believe it I'm still waiting on my replacement rails for our soft top.
Also going to HN in a few weeks, for a few weeks. So that will be fun!

Seriously, still waiting for soft top parts, I was waiting on the review before I pulled the trigger on a ktt

Ok so I'm in Honduras right now, but about a week ago all the soft top parts came in. They look great, but I won't be able to install it until around May. The product is amazing, but the time line for delivery is much to improved on. Mostly it's because they are trying to improve it as they go, which at least they are late for a good reason. I'd buy again if I was redoing it.
Side note I bought lots of parts here in HN for our 4R.

Nice, any up days on the soft top? Will you be putting in any lockable storage after scouting the area

Hoping to get the soft top on next week if the weather stays nice. Likely permanently bolting a pelican case to the rook rack once built to keep tools etc.

Ok well top is back on. I'm 90% happy with everything overall. I will give details later as things are discovered, but thought I'd post some pics and quick thoughts.
New two piece side rail design is pretty good. Some side c-channels alignment issues, but still very usable.
Cage was pretty easy to assemble and seems VERY strong. Personally extremely impressed.
The quality of the sowing and material is top notch. However some of the thought in areas that cover potential leaking could be much better imo. The rear window could be more secure or I did something wrong. I don't know as they never sent me actual instructions even after asking a few times.
This is one of the bigger issues. Defiantly gonna leak. I can make some adjustments that may help. I'm going to talk to a local shop and see what it would take to sow on an additional flap.
All in All I would buy it again. However I would have lower expectations. The cost was worth the product. The time line on their part was absolutely ridiculous. In there defense I got the second one ever made so a lot needed to be learned still. They should have not sold any until they had more worked out.
Hope this helps someone. I'll continue to update as time passes.

EDIT: I'd add I believe one of the biggest issues with the whole process is the material maker (also owner of the company) and the designer & builder of the amazing cage are several states away making fitment testing very difficult.
I'm excited to build a rack for it, which is my main reason for going this route as it supports the additional weight.
