User questions & answers

Question:	What is the spindle speed
Answer:	Yes, this top has the sunrider feature, so you can fold the front half of the top back however it does NOT have a convertible feature, meaning you cannot fold it all the way back to the rear of the Jeep.
Question:	How stable is the stand
Answer:	Whatever the speck says it fits...that said. It can be fabricated to fit may vehicles. I got mine for my Jeep Rubicon, but I'm running rock guards, I made brackets to fit guads and they work great ! hope that helps.
Question:	Is a knockout bar included
Answer:	I'm sure there are folks out there who have trimmed and modified the boards to fit a vehicle that they're not designed to go on, its not something we could assist in though since the boards would be going on a product outside its application and it would void the warranty.
Question:	why is this "kit" so much more $$ than just buying unit and stand separate? Is there something else not mentioned added to the "kit
Answer:	Yes, our Supertop NX comes with everything it needs to install it on your Jeep!
