Completely different roof design. I’m sure you could put a pop Top on anything if you had the money and didn’t mind the safety factor behind cutting into the major support structure of the LR3. I think we all dreamt of this at one time or another but unless it was a complete trail rig, I would never consider cutting into the structure like that; nevermind the amount of aluminum it would take to get the rails strong enough to keep the rig from folding in half. Lol
Since you are dumping off your LR3, just keep it and cut the roof off and use it as a trail rig. We all would love to see it. Lol

That’s pretty sweet. Like I said, with the right money and time you can put a pop Top on anything.
That mod is worth more than the vehicle in today’s money. Lol
I would love it though fo sho! Thanks for sharing.

I've been thinking about this for some time...
I am pretty sure the shortest path to a solution would be with Adventure Trailers, and getting their habitat married to the top of the truck.
When(/if) they release the the DIY kit I would experiment with it. It would be the perfect compliment for my shelving/sleeping platform in the rear, giving me a little more head room, maybe even standing (6'2").
EDIT: They currently offer a DIY kit but it doesn't have the pass through feature I'm interested in. Guessing on pricing, I'd say it'd be north of 8k to get them to do the custom (based on pricing for DIY kit & Taco Habitat)

Someone's thinking with their brain; it's not me. Permanently maiming the truck sounds super appealing. :ylsmoke::sombrero:

Hmmm, that solution isn't really complicated enough for the modern Land Rover enthusiast...

I know...call me crazy for saying a $2.5k tent and done is the easy way out!

Well that you take the hard road is fairly well known!
MAR? Izzy will expect you. I'm happy to include you in pulled pork (fri) and potential low country boil (sat) #'s.

Why use something that's demonstrably effective when I can shoe-horn this platform into roles it was never equipped for?
I have no idea where anyone got that idea.
I'm trying to figure it out; is there a Friday convoy? I wouldn't want to disappoint Izzy, I've seen how sideways that can go.

Will hit you on email; we are pushing on Thurs to Cville to overnight there.
