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.

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.
