Thanks MANUCHAO, for the good beats too

Let me know if I can help

So you are making these for the 60-series now? Last I heard you were not....at least yet.


I really really like the design. I want one for my 60. Wait, I got to build the truck first!

I would like access to be at the back of the truck, say just above the tailgate/cargo area. I have no problems cutting the roof on my 60. For me it is a perfect set up. I don't like RTTs because of access up a ladder. I also don't like how much drag they make or the fact that they don't allow me to carry surf boards or a kayak on the roof. A pop-top solves all these problems.

The main uses of my truck is going to be trips into Latin America. For sure will use it for everything else too but I am building it for south of the border trips. The pop top is perfect for this. Roll up to a gas station after a 12hr driving stint and need a few hours sleep. Pop the top and I am stylin'!

The price of your product is steep, not questioning that at all just saying. Hard for me, a working man, to justify the expense. Would it be possible to get a "kit" from you that I install myself? Or say a bare bones system I can customize myself to suit my needs? Any way to reduce the cost of the product at all? I don't mean crappy materials but I do mean bare bones, ie I do a lot of the work myself to fit, ect ect.

BTW, I think you could do real well with this if you offer it to other Cruiser models/owners. On top of that I am sure the Rover crowd would love it too. Who knows maybe even the Jeep crowd!? Not to mention say adapting the design to suit a truck shell. I would have looked long and hard it it for my Taco if it could have been made to suit my topper. I almost bought a flip-pack for the Taco but didn't like a number of things about them. I also considered a FWC for the Taco but the price on those is just ridiculous! Not to mention the amount of weight you will end up at with a FWC or similar. Your design on the other hand....

Cheers
 
This is brilliant. Any plans to build something for the 40 series?
