I had one on my 2008 FJR. Overall, it is an excellent but pricey product. As with most Corbin products I've owned, the body is awesome but the hardware -- latches, locks, -- is a little less so. I had to make some minor adjustments to get the lock to catch correctly but no big deal. Same thing with their seats -- sometimes the tabs/braces/holes don't line exactly but it's usually a quick fix.

That said, I would highly recommend it and may get one for my 2009 RK now that you have pointed them out and given me one more thing to explain to my wife that I really, really, really need!

Thanks for the info.
I think it'll be easy to convince your wife. Just tell her " even a guy from Egypt will be getting it !"

I wanted one but they don't make it for 2008 and according to them they don't plan on it in the future.

Sometimes owning a 2008 is a PITA because lots of stuff is for a 2007 and earlier or 2009/2010.
