I was fortunate to have a connection with Eibach through a friend/shop owner locally here in Southern California. I got the Stage 1 prototype system in March. 2022. I have a MY2021 Black Diamond, 2 Door Manual non sasquatch. I had the Stage 1 system for approximately 10k miles.

Pros...
Exact width is a CH under 2 inches :
I leave fasteners in the rack because I go between ski racks and then a top storage box for recovery gear. There are channels on all 4 sides so I used the rear facing side to mount 2 chase lights as well:
Here is a pic of the rotopax off. You can see the...
They are not bolted to the bottom directly. There is a small bracket that has a small rubber pad that is used to tension them it's not super easy for me to explain. So here is a pic:
The bracket kinda hooks under and behind the lower hard top lip. The small rubber pad goes in between the...
Yea I'll post it up in the California forum here. Sounds like mid to end of January. It'll likely be Gold Mountain. Not sure how brave everyone is. Gold is a bit tougher than an average trail, body damage will occur if you're off line with no armor. And you might want to make sure you have rock...
I'll try to remember to do that. I try to post stuff up as I plan it or hear about it. There are also going to be some runs coming up to big bear if you're interested.
There just isn't much room up there tbh. I mean, you have like half the length. Remember that they go the full length of the 4 door, where the factory rack goes only to the first slots on the rear section.
I hear what you're saying though, I'll pass the info on and see if they'll figure...
I'll add mine to the mix.

That steering setup is beefy AF looking. That might be the actual fix everyone really needs. But heims are wear items that need replacement from time to time. The only reason I say that is because people dont think about that. As is evident by people complaining about how loud a convertible...
Nice. Look at the JCR molle overhead thing. It's nice to have the radio up there. That's how I have my radio mounted. Very convenient. Not sure what midlands radio you have, but if it's one where you can control it from the mic, even better. Lots of mounting options open up
I have a set that a local fab shop did for me. Dom tube and welded to the frame. I have hit em hard, pivoted on em, and have experimented with jacking from them. No issues yet, only scratches which I respray every few months with shitty rattle can bedliner form Amazon.
Garbage pic is garbage...
You're pretty local to me, if you want to come check it out lemme know. I have a discount code for my buddy's shop in riverside but the forum gods don't like she sharing. My IG has the links. He's got a bit of everything on there.
No shit? Interesting. I lack a lot of the programming knowledge to do this, but I'd give it a go at some point. It's lower than m210 and hoss 3.0 steering on my list of crap to do.
Rack is holding up very well. The wires are indeed tucked between the top panels. I went 18awg all the way to the rear and then ran then up through the trim area on the passenger side of the swing gate opening. That way even if water follows them, that spot is open all the way down and sealed so...
