Laying out grid so we can see where to cut, and hopefully line up. Front cut and on the rig.

Back of top cut. Both pieces in place. They line up perfectly. Thanks to Paul and Izzy for doing this while i was out of town.

Kinda cool looking i think. One thing leads to another, and we had to fab in a new rear hoop for the roll cage. We decided to follow the 7 degree angle of the back of the cab and it worked out great, albeit kind of a PITA !

Bed is painted. New color is very cool, but not for everyone. In the shade it looks brown, in the sun it looks more green. Will post some pics of it tomorrow. Guess I'll have to rename it as it was (orange)Julius.
looking good
when I did mine, I started with the top, knowing I wanted the vents
pretty much destroyed it wheelin.....
how long is that softtop? want to sell it?

Good call on doing the top first. I have never had a hard top on this rig, so it was always going to be a soft top. Either way takes some work.
As far as the troopy top, I actually would sell it. Let me know if you're serious and I will get some measurements for you. I think it might be a tad long for your rig, but easier to shorten than lengthen. The bows are Pilgram repro's, and the bows on the back are custom. Let me know.
The guys at the shop have named my rig Mr. Potatohead. Guess I have changed it enough to warrant that. Lol

How about door pillar to back of tub ? It will be a week or so as the bed is off of the rig until we finish paint.

I may have that dimension in my file from when I was working with Tim using your dimensions. I will check
