    Sweet stuff Eric. Keep it coming.

    I'm no longer surprised we underestimate the cost of things that we would like to have. Is $6K out of line? I don't think so AT's Habitat and Ursa Minors top for JK Wranglers are close to that. Somewhere I have a link to a French company that makes a pop-top for 80 & 100 Series LC and those are close to this price or for that matter the the price of Dormobile roof. If you want sticker shock, price out the pop-top roofs for LC manufactured by several German companies.

    $6K may not be affordable or justifiable based on anticipated use, but that doesn't mean its too expensive.

    At its core, adventure is the willingness to commit to an uncertain outcome with and open heart and mind

    When RTTs cost 4-5000... 6K is completely reasonable...
