Maybe you should!

I will be selling my silverado and going for a JK next year.

Ever since I saw and Earthroamer in Wyoming last year I have been hooked.

Hmmm. . . looking at the small overhang in front of the vehicle with the top deployed, I'm imagining a hanging privy enclosure with four ground stakes - perfect for a shower.

Here are 360' renditions of the Top we are developing.=quote]



Looking good Martyn!... Now for the LJ build, feel free to put full windows on both sides like our current hard top and incorporate pull down shades for the sides and back for privacy. :sombrero:

Figured I should get my request in early, since there are so many of us LJ owners that want these. :bike_rider:

Great work... looking forward to hearing from you in the future when your ready for us...

oh.....thats....nice.....


I love the keeping of the pass rear window!!...the driver rear could be missing in my opinion and not make any diffrence to me (cant see out it anyway)..but the pass side is a nice touch...

real nice...

I know with the original Flip Pac's being on trucks the wet tent may not have been an issue... However, if the weather is bad and you have to fold the wet FlipPac tent up and store it to leave... Where is all that excess water going to drain (since it will sit over an open jeep)? I am looking at Doc's Tacoma post and the inside of his FlipPac tent looks to be suspended above inside his camper shell?

I'm working on the photographs, should have something in the next few days.

No CAD drawings, but Expo members will be the first to get updates on this project when they become available.

How much weight is this top adding? Did you need to upgrade shocks and / or coils due to the weight?

AT will be using high quality Australian canvas that is breathable and water resistant.

It's the same type of material that the high quality roof tents are made of. I spent 3 months hunting this material down, met with the owners of the company at SEMA, and air freighted over 100 meters of the material so we could test it and build proto types with.

We don't mess around when it comes to fabrics.
