WTB for a slant back! I know I know...even rarer than the 2 door! But would still be nice!

It’s on their website when I look.

I picked one up at SCE and am quite happy with it. No rattles and the drop down feature was exactly what I wanted and needed.
Highly recommend!

Most likely an alignment issue. Loosen bolts on top of roll bar, push tray towards front of vehicle and tighten the bolts back up. Check the side brackets for loose bolts as well.

I will give this a try - thanks

Is it empty? Is it something being carried in it causing it to rattle (metal on metal) ? You can probably adjust it some & solve the rattle. Also don't forget to tighten it up again every now & then.

Any chance someone with a soft top has a side view shot with the top down and attic up?

What rattled on mine were the pins. I was thinking of plasti dipping them but ended up just wrapping them with electrical tape. Problem solved. And I can still pull the pins whenever I want no problem.

Here’s mine with my hard top off and the attic tray in the up position to hopefully help with a visual reference.

Wheeled like this all day.

The mat-looking-thing is my Dirty Dog 4x4 headliner folded back and stowed on the attic shelf. Let us wheel open top all weekend and still drive home with some sound deadening as I reinstalled the headliner before pulling away from the campground.

I have one and don’t think there’s anything “flimsy” about it. When you load it with 40# of stuff, it’s easy to grab in the center, lift and latch. When you go to unlatch it, you’re reaching in, arms extended and spread wide apart, pressing the latches and letting it down w/o dropping it. That is difficult for this old man. If you’re young with lots of upper body strength, not a problem. So I unlatch one side, then the other and lower it down. There is enough play in the hinge pins and latches that when one side is unlatched and dropped down there just is a very little bit of twist in the basket. In the second pic, the right side is unlatched and hanging on its own, perhaps an 1“ below the latch.

IMHO, making it stronger so it doesn’t twist at all just adds unnecessary weight and cost. I’m really happy with it and as you can see I have the lower shelf too. YMMV

is the tray below the drop down the one that flips up or is it fixed in place?

It flips up. More expensive than the fixed shelf, but worth every penny if you haul bulky things occasionally. E.g., someone gave me a decent size knock-off big green egg for hauling it away. Flipped the shelf up, took the egg out of the stand, put the very heavy SOB in, secured it to the four tie downs, took it home.

M2M stuff is expensive, but very well made.

Found another benefit of the flip-down attic shelf -- I installed it with the @Dirtydog soft top headliner and now have the ability to flip back the headliner and run it strapped to the shelf rather than having to completely remove it when I want the open air feeling.

I just have 1 bungee around it here but it was all low-speed stuff. Add 2 more and I'd have no concern running down the highway like that.

How is the access with the top in place from the tailgate, please? The hardtop obviously has plenty of access with the flip-up window. Our soft tops would appear to be an exercise in frustration. TIA.
