Been wanting a pop top for my 100 for some time. Just hoping for something a little smaller

Diggin' the wing window access panels...

I just want that rear quarter access door in place of my vent window.

Love the idea, though I must be honest...That looks ridiculous. I can't see why it needed to be so large.

But that access door in place of the rear window is fantastic.

1. that thing looks so big , i feel like the 100 would tip over
next , why would some one cut the roof of a car . so sad , so sad

I must be missing something. A stock 100 has 5 access points... what's the point of replacing that window with a door?

A dual swing rear bumper can make the more lazy of us weary. Quick access to cargo would be handy.

Yes, it definitely looks ridiculous... but I would definitely rent one.

The gull-wing window can be useful. It can allow better access to your fridge than any other door. Some enclose it for a separate, easy access compartment. If you have a cargo barrier, then there is normally only one access point.

wow. im speechless. that would be neet to have. +1 on hoping the pop up wouldn't be too bulky though.

It would make trails like this a problem

It may start to leave the ground around 70mph

Hey, it is Africa. What do you expect I think they stole my dad's design - circa 1970.

How exactly do you get into that thing? Unless I'm looking at the picture wrong, wouldn't you have to climb over the hood? That seems a bit impractical.

Needing to cut your top is a misconception. My top is NOT cut and can be removed and transferred to another LC in ~15mins. Before you start googling my address it will not fit an 100.

 

[mgilvan]

oh snap, its a removable "camper top" that’s cool.
did u made it your self?

I like the side windows. Wagongear was working them for the 100. These would be fine with me. Allows access up close to back seat. Reaching from back with tailgate down is a pain in a lifted truck. Also, what if you had a rear bumper with tire carrier, you could access through windows without moving tire and jerry cans every time.

I emailed them. Alu-cab from South Africa. Could we get 25 pre orders if the price is right?
