Looks OEM to me although there are a lot of variations out there.

I was just going to say its round and black (just like the OEM version) but I would go with Joe's opinion.

Attached are photos of the hard top installed. In the spirit of full disclosure, the rubber gaskets around the side sliding windows will likely need to be replaced.

I found a front knuckle rebuild kit, with Koyo bearings, I purchased from Cruiser Outfitters. I have not needed it but wanted to have it on hand. It will go with the truck.
Bumpity bump
I think people are interested to watch price drops. imho- this is priced where 5speeds are from many of the importers(landcruisersdirect, etc). I would imagine theres a $2-3k+ sub premium to get someone to choose an auto over 5 speed all things being equal. Also you have been fighting a 25% canadian and Aussie dollar discount. and the plethora of hz versions popping up which has some cache and are more commonly 5spd optioned.

I've scored some deals on ebay by contacting the seller, and then "placing" without winning and then making a side deal. The never ending welshers seem to depress the sellers.
I think a no reserve on BaT, with a bit of pimping here and expo, on the other hand would likely end your pain at a fair price for you. Wanna feel bad? There's a rangie classic POS on right now. Its up to 27. Gross, eh?

I sense you're trying to make a point here but I'll be damned if I can figure what that point may be.
I would have lifted the reserve and i think the bidding would have gone to $12k which seems about fair value for the autos out of canada and aus. where the dollar gets you a 25% price drop.
I think there would be a bunch of mudders showing interest if it were priced within $2-3k of ebay prices. I think most mudders would be glad to pay a $2-3k premium ($13-14k ) knowing its come from a mudder who has looked it over and fawned over it.
