93 I like the idea.
I started a similar tread in the Jeep section of this forum http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24335 It seams we are not as many who share the same dream as one might thinkI'm kind of surprised this thread died out so quickly?
Anyways, I am still thinking about it.
...
I think the interior space of a J8/4door JK would be about the same as a 109/110 land rover?
I am definitely lusting after a J8 3 door built into an expedition camper today!
Total rumor. There is currently not enough interest. Get me 100 people interested in it and I may pursue it. The development costs are too steep for just a few.
Agree, agree and agreeThis could only be truly viable for the 4 door JK. The 2 door JK, TJ, YJ & CJ have roof lines that are too short to make sleeping surface without a hinge breaking it up. As much as I like the LJ, there simply are not enough of them out there to make a reasonable market. The 4 door JK on the other hand has seen a strong market.
That being said, in order to achieve a real world design, we are talking about adding 7-8" to the roof height. We're also looking at about a $4000 price tag. Considering that a aftermarket hard top runs about $2200, a decent RTT of that size is $1750 and a set of 3 Thule bars & track bars to mount it on $400 (total $4375) then the price tag would not be out of line.
Any feed back on roof height or pricing from interested parties?
