A little clarification.
I presume that when "washington taco" said he visited 4 Wheel Campers he was implying he went there to look at one of their slide in campers. 4 Wheel Campers is a fantastic company and great people, but they don't have anything to do with the JK Topper.
What is "Habitiat"?.
Habitat is a trademarked name that AT has secured for it's product lines.
The JK Topper was the working name for the project while it was being designed and prototyped.
The "JK Habitat" is the name for the production top.

I was looking at the slide in campers. I did see the camper they built for AEV for Expo 2010. Next summer I will be heading to Colorado to look at a few manufactures of slide in campers. Maybe make a side trip to AZ to see the JK flip pack and change vehicle brand! Right now I am leaning towards a 2012 Tacoma ( Jan/ Feb time frame) and a slide in camper. I am taking my time as this will be around a $45,000 purchase between the two. I suspect the JK flip pack to be outstanding, Martyn and crew could flip me to Jeep and save me a little money as well!

Boxes for speakers.....does this mean there will be a need to remove the factory speaker/sound bar or does the top have accomodations for additional speakers?

What Martyn meant to say was that the new mold for the opening was machined to allow clearance for the factory speaker pods. The factory speaker bar will remain in place and unharmed. The new mold was needed to keep Mario from kicking the speakers every time he climbed in and out of the darn thing :sombrero:

Yes exactly.
In future when I stick my foot in my mouth Gabe will be at hand to give me a good slap on my back.
Thanks Gabe, now lets head back to the bar to drink some serious Virgin Margaritas, it is Friday after all :sombrero: Lechyd da
