All the ones I've seen here in Aus are well overpriced. I got mine from the states (Quadratec) for less than half the price over here. Also wild boar do the same sort of thing but doesn't look as robust in my opinion.

Hey thanks joe thats the one i was looking it ! what was shipping prices like though ? thats the one thing im concerned about . and can it be used on the hard top ?

[JoeJeep]

The one I've got which is in the pics in that thread can be used with either hard or soft top, and to fold down/remove top you just undo the front two bolts and tilt it back and support with poles provided. I believe the wild boar one is a similar setup but from memory was more expensive and thinner tubes.
The one I got was about $600-$650 landed, real easy to install, minimal drilling required behind the tail lights and its a strong unit(done plenty of corrugation with a fair bit of weight up top)

Ah ok yeah sorry i realised u had the hard top on after i sent that .
was the dollar as good as it is atm ? because id like to get the matching basket with it to .

[JoeJeep]

Dollar was about the same when I bought mine maybe a little less.
Be careful with the baskets as I've heard they can be flimsy and rattle, someone on AJOR(can't remember who it was) bought the whole package bars and basket and ended up ditching the basket and buying a stronger one locally. I'm thinking the freight on a basket would be big bucks anyway.
Just email Quadratec with your address and the product number and they'll tell you how much for freight.
Just had a look at my old emails, just the bars cost me $258.99(US) in freight to Perth.
