I like the concept. If you reverse it to pop up to the front you would not need to modify and cut the rear half of the top. then you would only need to replace the freedom panels and have access from the front. similar to the defender version.

To bad AEV discontinued the Highline kit. It is something I have always wanted for my LJ. Once and a while a used one will pop up for sale but the asking price on them is usually more than the kit went for new. I wish someone would come out with one. I know there are a few knock off fiberglass...

Here is a product that might be of interest. https://www.farmtek.com/farm/supplies/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10052&storeId=10001&langId=-1&division=FarmTek&productId=20251 I used this on my roof rack its strong enough to walk on it makes a great platform for photography and is lightweight. Its...

I like that idea. Does it work with a soft top. My wife hates the soft top because its such a pain to access the back of the jeep with the zip out window.

If they were to become available as a kit I would buy it. Looks like a fairly simple fiberglass project. Keep me posted if you change your mind. I have a 2016 JKU with the earlier version hardtop. You make some great products. Off topic, I have an exogate on my LJ and its been on there for...

I really like those pop up skylights on the freedom panels. Now that I just recently got a JK this is something I would really like to do. Is there a kit available?

I wish jeep would make one with an electric roll down window. like on the old station wagons

I see how that would be a problem. Here is another thought for you if you are ok with my random ideas. My bimini boat canopy uses this concept. it adds more structure increasing cost but it might work.

I understand the need for the lines I just would want more of a compact space if used for tailgating. I like what was suggested about the poles connected to the bumper. Then the lines could be dropped vertically making less of a tripping issue and able to use in tighter spaces. Just a thought.

I like the idea. I can see this as something I would buy. Its something that can even be used even when your not camping. It would be good idea for tailgating. A lot of people don't need or want the complexity or expense of awnings that need to be attached to racks. Looks like it will store...

I have been working on a modular compact camper design that has solar and lighting built in.

I thought about that. If you look at the bottom half of the cap its in 2 sections rear bed and front cab. That could be fit together with a u channel with a rubber weather stripping for flex between front and rear cab. this would also seal and allow water runoff The top would be supported from...

Jeff I have followed your builds for years and I always love what you come up with. One day I hope to get a Gladiator. I went to buy one back in January but at the time they were way overpriced so I ended up with a 2016 JKU Sahara instead. However one day I still will eventually get one maybe in...

Thats the idea. Now if we take what I designed for the gladiator and add your hardside panels we would have the ultimate camper!

If I were to make a Gladiator camper shell it would need to take advantage of the open design of the gladiator and make use of the entire length of the top. Here is a design I sketched up of what I would want from a gladiator camper. having full hydraulic actuators to lift the roof so that gear...
