    Jeep JKU soft top flutter noise with new Rack

    I had the same problem with my Premium twill top. I recently replaced the soft top with a hard top and problems solved. :) I have a Garvin Expedition rack w/ the wind deflector. The only thing the wind deflector did was prevented it from whistling. I still had the buffetting.

    WHY did you choose YOUR rig?!

    I had an 07 FJ that had nearly 300k miles on it when the trans went out in it from the larger tires, gears, and being on the trails all the time. When it came time to get a new vehicle I wanted something I could take the top and doors off and be able to enjoy the sun with the stereo jamming. I...

    FS or Trade: Premium Jeep Wrangler JKU Soft top

    I have a premium twill soft top for a JKU that and looking for a hard top. I traded my twill trektop for this top back in November knowing that I was going to put a roof rack on my Jeep.
