Hmmm, that'd make it about $2,500CN. ;)

I dunno, but it IS a bit more expensive than the one you got, but the
difference is inconsequential to me. The real downside to the no drill
is that you have to deal with the long header, so storage in the Jeep
isn't as easy.

It doesn't collapse then eh?! Would it fit across the back of the TJ (just
inside the tail gate) from one hub to the other?

At some point it'd be nice to remove the top....or can it be left on the
wind shield, or does it stick up grossly?!

The header is as long as your windshield and is difficult to store in
the Jeep. You can just leave it at home. Here's my solution to the
bikini thing. Zip out all of the windows on your soft top, remove doors
and you have a 'Safari Bikini' top that folds down when you want.
