    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    Okay, thanks. Good info to have should we see enough demand to consider moving forward with an LJ version. The main obstacle that I see is that the LJ universe is relatively small as the vehicle was produced in limited numbers for only 2 years. To recoup R&D costs and justify the making of...

    If you had no forward slope to the rear of the shell and you measured vertically to the body line, how much would be gained?

    More specifically like the picture so I may determine whether the cap we have designed for the JK will work or not.

    About 100 lbs more than factory top. I refer you back to post #150 that had much of the design information. http://http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=521995&postcount=150

    Total production costs and retail pricing are yet to be finalized. We will honor the pricing we set for the original pre-orders to reward our early adopters for their trust and patience.

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    No, it works like as shown in the original concept photos, like an ATFP but with center access. If you refer back to post #150, I laid out the design concept and the reasons why. The only difference is that the hatch split is 50/50. We feel that the rear roll bar would limit the access if the...

    It can be color matched if desired. The initial unit on the J8 will be white to match. You can certainly get black if you like. Xmas delivery time frame seems attainable for the pre-orders.

The pass through has a 50/50 split hatch. Once the cap and tent are deployed, the next step is to fold down...

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    We fitted up the final Habitat plug on Saturday and we are very happy with the fit to the body. Building the plug to exactly fit the factory body seals was quite challenging and we succeeded! No additional seals other than what is installed on the JK will be needed. Here are a couple of pictures...

    If you rotate the roof with any additional load on it, i.e. roof racks, surfboards etc, you will be adding additional stress on the torsion rod spring that can lead to premature failure.

    Fishing the San Juan: Pagosa

    It was an awesome time! The San Juan is such a beautiful river. Our time spent there was rejuvenating. Big thanks for Dave for making it possible and to the excellent guidance from Joe who was such an excellent coach that I was able to land two fish my very first time fly fishing!
