Will it remain engaged when the "hatch" is opened past 90*?

The sealing was one of my concerns, I was considering making it with a lip on the hatch itself to overlap the "frame" and also using a single proper hinge that will accommodate for the curve in the side panel and using the rear glass lift support to make it easier. I also have some of these...

I'm so glad you posted this, I was truly at a loss for how to efficiently build matching flanges to tie all the pieces together. I also had no clue about the variables in types of resins that were necessary. Thank you again for the outstanding information!!! I'm still looking into a way to...

Having had a 5.7 and 6.4 Rubicon, the 6.2SC is pointless. The 6.4 made too much power, but fit very nicely. The 5.7 was turning 39" Crawlers through an Atlas twin stick and Pro-rock 80 rear and 60 front, and it was very difficult to finesse over obstacles. Ended up having to drive it like a...

They are built in Toledo and exported. There used to be a company that built TJ's in Egypt called Arab American Vehicles. They were actually called TJL's

Just little info, since I knew it would cause a bit of confusion when I saw the post. All Jeeps are made in Toledo, Ohio regardless of their end destination. The diesels have been around for decades, much to the dismay of so called "automotive journalist" that just make up tabloid headlines and...

I've looked at both a drain and a possible lid for aerodynamics lol

It's a 2016 hard top. I went with a newer one due to the larger field of vision. I really like your hinge design, and was looking at making something just like it, but using door hinge pins with brass bushings as the pivot point as opposed to bolts, unless you know something about going that...

I'm still following every post in this thread. I acquired a hard top and 2 sets of freedom panels so I can work on a setup for overlanding. Any advice you have so I can construct a modular barn door door similar to yours would be very helpful. I'm actually looking at putting some flush mounted...

I found out about the Baja 4000 yesterday, and it's in January, wife said not no, but hell no! Lol. She doesn't like the idea of me being gone for 3 weeks to do a trip to the cartel country lol

I was honestly amazed to see y'all pull in behind us at the finish line saturday morning. Those trucks put up a hell of a fight. We were joking about it after we hit the first super tight trail, and when we didn't see y'all the first night, we assumed y'all just said screw the "challenge," (it's...

How much easier is it to do the top without the windows in the top of the roof or the 3rd brake light? It's cool looking, but I see myself busting them when the roof comes into contact with things on the trail or possibly leaking down the road.

With 4" lift and 37's on my jeep, I have to have a 60" to get it off the ground, for my wife's Jeep with 2 1/2" lift and 35's I have a 48". Both of them are Hi-Lift Extreme. Buy once cry once, and they are pretty cheap anyway

Warn and ARB make great stuff, but one thing to consider that FAR too many people overlook is DO NOT buy cheap chinese components. Chinese shackles have been known to fail at loads 1/4 of their rating. I've been in the safety industry for a very long time, a very large portion of which was...

One thing to keep in mind is that the JK half door uppers are not metal framed, but plastic, and much thicker than the TJ frames. Hence why storage is such an issue with them. If I had 4 TJ style uppers then I could put them anywhere. I think with the way your design appears to have a rise to...

I've been patiently waiting to see this come together. I really like the modular setup, which definitely makes storage much easier when removed. I love my soft top for anything other than overlanding, and the barn door would be a great hard top improvement so long as it is removable. I like the...
