[notnalc68]

I remember seeing jscherb's thread, when he decided to build his own top. Here it is, in case you'd like to look.

Seriously, ain't going to lie, looks like a decent product even for Shittybilt :rollseyes: I know some WAL forum member are designing their own and it's wayyy more badass than actually just purchasing one... But this is nice for "big" family week-end warriors expedition. What's your 2 cents on this?

Here's the pictures :

EDIT : *DISCLAIMER* I'm not in any way promoting this particular company, just bringing in an open debate on what people actually have to say about it. eace: eace:

If you look realy close, you can almost see the new Polaris logo...:cheesy:

If you mean me, I had nothing to do with the Smittybilt product.

This is the one I designed:

I just knew you were working in something similar. I lov your top. Sadly I don't have fiberglass skills.

I don't sell anything myself, but quite a few of my Jeep and offroad designs have been licensed by a number of companies and are on the market, including my LJ/TJ Safari Cab hardtop, two fiberglass offroad trailer kits, and about two dozen other hardware and accessory products.

I'm not inclined to license the JK hardtop design to a company because I fear that a company would eliminate many of its unique and useful features and by the time a company got this top to market it would be too expensive to be accessible to most people.

Let's say all those bad things come true. So what? People have another option on the market. If you keep it to yourself they don't. I say go for it! And you'll get paid for all the work you put into this thing. It's like saying FCA shouldn't make a Jeep because it won't be as cool as the prototypes the show at EJS each year.

Ok so I would just buy it directly from you... I'm OK with that also. Just tell me when to start searching the couch cushions. Wait I just saw you don't sell directly...

The Smittybilt top is shaped somewhat like the Land Rover Defender "Wolf" military hardtop, although the Wolf hardtop doesn't have Alpine windows...

The Wolf top has a very functional rear barn door too, not a glass liftgate...

There is one that looks like this for sale in ft Wayne. I really like your work, the modular top you made for Jeep was very nice
