I haven't seen any soft tops for Wranglers in camo fabric. Is that because nobody would want one?
And speaking of factory windows, what about half Doors with removable uppers? This was a Land Rover idea that took about 40 years to become a Jeep feature. Series 1 Land Rovers in the 1950's had half doors with removable tops, we didn't get them as a factory option until the 1987 YJ. And even then, Jeep never provided hard uppers or slider windows, both up which were available in the 50's as a Land Rover feature. And even today, Jeep hasn't released half doors for the JL.
Speaking of standing on Land Rovers, hardly an issue of the Land Rover magazines goes by without a photo of someone standing on their Land Rover...From the July issue of Land Rover Monthly... no room inside? Put your cooler on the roof rack?
It's a Dometic cooler (not fridge):
A ladder would be a good option to have to help you get a cold drink out of the cooler though.

I can't tell why the guy on the third vehicle back is on his roof. Standing on Land Rovers is a pretty common thing I guess.
At least the color of the cooler matches the Land Rover (and the recovery tracks).
That is impressive! And Instagram-ready.When I made my fiberglass JK flat fenders I designed them to support a 225-lb. gorilla. A gorilla in stocking feet anyway, don't want to scratch the fiberglass
Thanks. People often criticize fiberglass fenders (and other fiberglass parts) as not being up to the task for a serious Jeep so I decided to make an example out of these
.Been there, done (some of) that, part 7.
This article was about a Land Rover trip to the Grand Canyon.
A few years ago I had a magazine assignment to do a story on the Grand Canyon Railway so I did a lot of what they talk about in this article, although I didn't have time to do the trip down to the river.
Info on the trail to the river: https://www.americansouthwest.net/arizona/grand_canyon/peach_springs_canyon.html
For the magazine assignment I was driving a rented 2wd Cherokee out of Las Vegas and I did do quite a few miles on forest service roads to get photographs of the train in scenic wild settings, but the trail from Peach Springs down to the river was way out of the way for what I needed to do for the magazine so I couldn't do it on that trip. We plan to take that trail in one of our Jeeps and camp at the riverside the next opportunity we get.
My article as published:
I haven't ridden the train, but for that article I used the forest service roads to get to remote places to take photos for the article; the photo of the train just below the article title at the upper left in the scan above was taken at the Coconino curve, which is only accessible via the forest roads.
A large Bonnet Bag...
Could be done on a Wrangler but I doubt many people would want one.
This next one seems like it could be useful, and if you really wanted to you could strap it to the hood?
Old school curb feeler comes to mind
