And bought a Gr8top. :2thumup:

Its two pieces, the top is removable from the "bulkhead" which is the bottom part that separates the "bed" from the "cabin"

Just thought I'd share. I just finished weatherproofing it today. Still need to pick up some OEM style weather stripping for the header and for where it sits on the tub. but other than that I think it looks good. Dont really care what anyone else thinks lol :cool:

'06 TJ fixed.
2.5" OME Lift
Rubicon Express (pre 4wp) Track Bar in the front
OME Track Bar bracket in the rear
JKs Quick Disconnects
3"BL waiting to come off for my 1.25"BL
33x12.50R15 Mickey Thompson Baja Radial ATZ's
15x8 Cragar Soft 8's
Trail Gear front and rear bumpers.
Red LED interior lights.

Sweet, I need to get the split window, help s out big time I bet.

Nice top but I personally don't care for the advertisement on the bulk head, but that is just me.

I dont like it either. I plan on literally flattening it out when I get some more bed-liner. They used to not have the big stamp on their 1st generation bulkheads but the newer ones have it, and the top comes with the GR8TOP sticker in the window which I dont like either... I'll peel it off after the shock of actually buying it wears off. I'm :nervous:

to mess it up right now lol

Rick

I saw on their facebook that they were looking into making one for the JKs but now that Jeep is coming out with that pickup kit I dont know if that will end up happening. Might be worth giving them a phone call though.

For right now the roll bar is cut so just the front part is there. But soon I will have a full cage in the front and then in the rear have it like a pickup truck where the bars stay on the back of the cab and then come at a 45* angle back to where the original rollbar mounted

sort of like this Posted Image

Is that the standard or the xtop? How much space is between the back of the rollbar and the top (vertical wall that holds the rear window)? I am not sure if I want the standard or the xtop, I would prefer the standard if I get enough room for the seat-back.

This is the regular... if youve ever used the bestop 3 piece bikini windjammer tonneau it literally fits just like that minus the tonneau You have about 2 inches behind the top of the roll bar before it comes straight down... theres enough room to keep the seat all the way back and then have about 3 clicks reclined so for me im sitting a little more upwards than I was used too but not Im used to the seating postiion, a little better posture too lol.

Shipping is super volatile I was talking with these guys for a month checking the shipping prices every other week before we got it under $220 for shipping alone and I had to go to southeastern freight and pick it up from them wouldve been even more to my door. I went to pick it up with my rollbar already chopped and unwrapped it and put it on my jeep and held it on with clamps till I could get home to fully install it.
