JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

[GroupSe7en]

Thought I had lost this thread - found it again!!:wings:

Very excited to see how it all works out.

Maybe there will be a JK or, dare I dream, a J8 in my future...

Martin/Mario,

When AT is ready for production, which appears a ways off at this point, do you have an estimate on turnaround from order placement to delivery or is it too soon to estimate?

For planning purposes, have you identified a location where F35 lower awning leg brackets would attach to the JK body without interfering with the doors?

Will the top include a rear defroster and wiper?

I'm ready for a drive up for fitment whenever you say "cheese" and happy to share pics with the forum.

Thule tracks as a roof rack option

No provision for roof racks will be made, it would simply complicate opening and add to the COG, something we all prefer to avoid.

I would need to have roof racks to carry my surfboards. Would it be possible for you to add a pair of Thule tracks to the roof as a factory option? It's relatively inexpensive at $120 to $140 MSRP, so it shouldn't add much to the COG. The customer themselves would then buy the feet and crossbars. I don't think having the crossbars on would interfere with opening the top, but if they did the crossbars could be easily removed in about a minute or two.

My issue was kayaks and I asked about thickness of glass and whether it would support either a drill through option or something along the lines of a yakima/thule setup. They said the glass was sufficiently thick enough to handle such a load. That being said, my guess is that this is something you are going to have to undertake on your own.

Delayed in production by 6 weeks.

We had some issues with the product and have to do some re-working of the mold. As you all know we are anal about these things :sombrero:

How is the mold coming along?

It's moving ahead. We had the boxes for the speakers CNC'd and placed in the mold, and delivered the material to make the tents. Once it's 100% we'll let you know.

Martyn once you get this RIGHT you will sell them all day long and be the Bill Gates of Jeeps! I am Toyota guy but if this is as good as I expect you will flip me to a Jeep! Maybe they should give you a little something!

It's a very exciting prospect for all of us involved, a combination of the urge to finally see the production model vs. knowing that we need to get it right first time.

So we, like you, are eagerly waiting.

Best of luck Martyn,

Still a very super cool concept. I wish I had the jeep to put one on! sigh...

 

[Dave Bennett]

This is going to be really cool :drool:

 

[Ozrockrat]

OK 1/2 the problem solved

So this will satisfy 1/2 of my desire. Now how do we get Jeep to pull there finger out and put a diesel in the JK's.

Really can't wait for this. Sounds like it will be awesome!

Add me to the list of very excited to see the finished product.

On that note, can't wait to see the interior pics in a few weeks either!!!!!
