Removable Hard Top.
Has anyone thought of doing a removable hard top like the old toyota 4 runners. I know you would have to strengthen the unibody alot if you remove the roof. I would cage and plate. Is it possible? I've seen alot of soft top conversions but I've never seen a hard top.
|
Is it possible? Why not? Anything is possible...
If you value your time it would probably just be easier to buy a Wrangler... time is money. Also you should probably google before you post stuff like this... lots of stuff on google. |
I have googled it. I haven't found pretty much anything helpful. I always get the same ''if you cut the roof off your going to fold the unibody up."
|
Its possible. Do it and post pics. Need to install cage though to strengthen unibody when you remove roof.
|
You'll find a thread of such a conversion on Pirate 4x4. A cage is pretty much mandatory. Also the XJ's roof and sides as a hard top is really not a good idea, all that steel weighs a ****load. Worse than trying to get the top back on to a JK Unlimited. It's about half of the body.
|
I think the hardest part would be the doors and pillars. how much would you want to remove? can you just make a large sunroof like detouroffroad did?
|
I wanted to the trunk area off but then kinda like a big whole in the roof. kinda like the old broncos I guess. I should have said that from the beggining. I think the harders part would be how to reattach to the body.

Thats a little more extreme. I want something more subtle.

Why not buy a k5 blazer or big bronco they are cheap and have a removable hard top.
