Hello Everyone, @MaineRecon ,

What vehicle are you coming from? I’m concerned at how loud the Sky top is and I was hoping to order the dual-pane that’s been delayed till 2027. The Wrangler Sky top is pretty damn loud at highway speed

also, I wanna know if the steering wheel is soft like a grand Cherokee or requires constant tweaking like a Wrangler?

From what I understand (no first hand experience - Yet), the Recon in general is much quieter than the Wrangler overall, even with the Sky One Touch. Is it noticeable compared to a non wrangler, sure, but I think coming from a wrangler already with the SOT, you’ll feel a significant improvement.

As far as steering; I’ve also heard it’s much less touchy than the wrangler is and more akin to the Cherokee.

That said, it’s all second hand. I’ll let Dave report back when he drops that fat stack of photos on us!

Thanks this is what I’ve been hoping for, but no reviews have mentioned.
I think the SOT on Wrangler could use some sort of spoiler or air curtain (not sure of term) to deflect some noise over the roof. Plus living in Phoenix, I only have like 20 days/nights a year where I’d consider using SOT. I prefer an insulated roof that blocks the light and limits heat
