Maybe mine is too. Every picture I see online, at Amazon, etc, there are only 3 cross bars in the front.

That is why I was thinking mine might be a Manik cause theirs have 4. But if you go to the site above and add it to your vehicle it shows this.

Thing I like about the Jeep Factory one is it serves as a one piece. The flaps that would expose your tie down are tight. Betting it would hold water just like my Rugged Ridge. Just the lighter color won't match the other Rugged Ridge ones. I know it sounds petty but would bug me.

I dyed the carpet in my jeep black and the front carpet took really well and is a nice dark black, but the cargo carpet must be slightly different because it didn't change color st all. I thought it would drive me crazy, with the back seat up I can't even tell and when I go to the trunk all of it back there is grey so I'm okay with it.

Removed the driver seat, broke a floor bolt of removing seat but was able to vice grip it down and out. The seat was like sitting in a old broken down recliner, was hoping loose bolts, not. Removed the backrest then slid the bottom cushion away from the seat structure and I had three pieces in my floor. Was easy to see where things went back together so I clamped it back into align and got that mig welder going that I don't need very often but times like this makes it worth while. Together with a whole new feeling seat, springs on the bottom even got tight.
Then I went ahead and remover the brake master and tore it apart and cleaned the gunk out. Then I hooked up my mighty vac and got clear fluid and a firm pedal.
I have a question about the idler pulley for the belt. Has anyone pressed a new bearing into the pulley? I have looked at these type pulleys before and I have the exact bearing that I have spares of, I think I am going to try.

Lol... Optical illusion I guess. The first several from the left kind of looked conical but apparently it is the spring gap at the top creating an illusion. Lol
