The pictures on the Rhino-Rack USA fb page linked in the first post of this thread show the system on an old style hardtop (it has the narrower tailgate window).
I'd guess the Australian distributors will only have limited info on these with them being so new. Might be worth sending Rhino-Rack USA an email and seeing you can get any info from them as to how it fits the pre-update hardtops.

Anyone know the differences between the 2010 hardtop and 2011 onwards?
The difference is on the roof profile on the inside of the hardtop, 11+ has a larger cavity and the inside strengthening rib comes out more.

They must be available for 07 models I saw one on a Red 07 CRD up at the QLD ARB Maroochydore store, one of the guys who works there owns it.

Ok did a bit more investigation, have been told by Rhino, that they will fit 07-10s, but there is some gap between them so slight cosmetic issues. They are developing some wedges to cover it but will fit without any issues.

Now just have to con my wife that I need these before the new house...

So I guess it's true that Rhino took over Out4x4?

Mine is an 07. They made a prototype spacer to fit mine which will go into production for the earlier JKs. I'll try and get a couple pics up.

Did you manage to get any photos of this?
The Rhino Rack could be on the shopping list so I'm keen to see what additional parts are needed for the older style hardtops.
