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 of it without the bed section cap mounted up on the OJ J8. A small adjustment is being made the forward taper to have it more accurately follow the windshield frame line.

These other images below show the cap, this part already has been molded hence the finished look of the cap vs. the lower part of the shell.

What is not shown is the hardware and the seal between the cap & lower half. This will be added when the parts are mated during final assembly.

It looks like we have 2-3 weeks of finishing work to bring it all together, complete the tent and mount it up on the J8 and work out last little details.

More later...
