Has this been done before? I got to thinking about this again looking at Kirk's fenders. Fiberglass work is within the realm of Everyman/garage manufacturing capability. There is a Jeep guy that did some amazing stuff in his garage. I never really cared for the stock hardtop, but like that idea of a hard top for inclement weather and with a functional CAD model, this could be a possibility.

Any thoughts / opinions on the matter? Any fiberglass experts in the house? I worked for a company that built composite balsa wood/fiberglass campers and they were bulletproof, but I have yet to try my own hand at it.

To add to this, I really like the idea of a modular hardtop that gives you benefits of the soft top, but protections of a hard top.




OR PERHAPS: *Paging BSD*

You need to talk with JGZ. He knows a thing or two. :)

I always thought if I went back to a hard top, I would install window sliders in the sides and do a full sliding ragtop in the top.

Jay (JGZ) is the local dude who is producing really nice items for the interior; door panels/pockets, speaker pods, headliner, etc. We've chatted about tops, he felt the market was too small to justify the startup costs.

On expedition portal there is 1-2 custom fiberglass tops for the 4 door broncos that were built last year, basically extended 1/2 cab style.

I'm with Toolman, as I thought the sliding ragtop would be fun. I've also seen VW camper roofs grafted onto various roofs.

Next time you're over swing by JGZs place. He's practically down the street from me.

I like where this is going

Definitely sounds like I need to talk to JGZ. Maybe when I stop by for my FORD sticker. I'm always down for a new project.

Kirk, what's your long term plans for BSD? 4dr SUV or 4dr pickup? Combo EXPO rig? I have aspirations for a stretched rig, which will likely be a 4dr truck configuration.

I was hoping you'd tell me! Ha! Let's see, 4 door hard top, but something lighter weight and a better back window solution than the lift gate. Pickup style like it is now as I like having that space open for over sized items. Lightweight because I still want to have the option to store it and put the camper back on, but strong enough for roof top storage. I'm done open with rag tops.
