thats a pretty damn cool idear.
SeeJeepGo said:Yup, it's getting warm again and I was also thinking more about it the other day. I believe you can add support structures to keep the top sturdy and replace the glass with plexi for some weight savings. Also, I was thinking of cutting the liftgate in half and leaving the bottom part on the truck and then the top part can help keep the sides of the top supported somehow.
:looney:

Heavier than you think
ChicksDigWagons said:Lets talk numbers? How heavy is heavier than I think? I woudln't put it past the top to be pushing 150-200lbs, which I can deal with. I'd like to add a handful of low-profile tie-downs that I could just strap to and hoist it off/on the jeep in the garage. Easy as pie... :roflmao:
Rev Den said:Maybe 150 Lbs....but thats 150 Lbs if something with the structure of tin foil. The roof, when seperated from the body, has no strength to stay rigid.

You may be talking about the C-rok xj that was on the for sale boards and in modified tech not too long ago, sorry if my memory is failing if that is not the one. Nice job flexy, It looks like lots of fun.TheWarWagon said:I saw a picture a while back of a yellow xj, where the guy used a tonneau cover for a "ragtop" type roof. Not a convertible, but more a giant sunroof. Anyone have pictures of that?
rocklandxjer said:nope, IIRC C-rok is red, i remember the picture. it was a pic of the top of a cherokee with the majority of the roof cut out, not off. the edges of the roof were left intact, and of course there was a cage. the person used a truck bed cover for a soft top, but when he rolled it back, it was a full sunroof.
