DIY Hard top
Hi Guys
I just wanted to show you all what I have been working on lately..
It's not completely finished yet, but will have to be finished before
we go on a Lesotho trip in a few weeks
I did fit a little perspex back window this past weekend
I just still need to close the gap at the back and then Thunder02
will assist with canvas doors

Looking good, but remember, the more light you let into the back, the more heat, so your fridge freezer will have to work harder.

Re: DIY Hard top
Was thinking he should put in side doors for easier access,as the rear spare wheel is not on an swing arm,so only access is between the two front seats.Haboob wrote:Looking good, but remember, the more light you let into the back, the more heat, so your fridge freezer will have to work harder.

It is against the law to have a roof on a Jeep unless it is snowing...

Re: DIY Hard top
It's a shocking sight, and not suitable viewing for children under 52 but we go topless whenever we go out.....

Re: DIY Hard top
Unfortunately we don't have a portable fridge yet - so not a train smash yet, but when we get one I will rethink the window bitThunder02 wrote:Was thinking he should put in side doors for easier access,as the rear spare wheel is not on an swing arm,so only access is between the two front seats.Haboob wrote:Looking good, but remember, the more light you let into the back, the more heat, so your fridge freezer will have to work harder.
I thought about the side doors, but the roll bar is still in the way then, so rather left it..

It's dual purpose, if you take it off, you can store your lawnmower etc. under it in the back yard
