thanks renago, that's valuable advice. yeah i figured it would be difficult. I might revise my interior design to see if i can include it but i seriousy doubt it as mine isn't a poptop. Where did you mount yours previously?

the interior is not finished yet , I hope this week .
the out side is done , with all rails for side veranda , back veranda , and roof rack.
in these days it's raining like hell , it's the best test to see if it is water tight.
the inside head room is eaven more then original .
the bed panel is working very nicely , as well as the roof hydraulic pumps.
no strange noises , I still have to pull some electric wire , then I will add some foam to damp even more any roof noise reflection .
as soon as I will progress , will make more interesting pic.
might be even tomorrow.
On thursday I have an appointment with the guy that will make the 3 side tent .
hope he will be quick , I want to USE it !!

That is a good friend! You're very lucky to know someone that has those skills. And you gave some good direction and put a lot of thought into that. Great job, it looks like it turned out very well.

With the interior to go, and the level of perfectionism you have set yourself, I would say your just about to start your build!
Good luck with it, are you going aluminium or plywood?

@ Dan , I was thinking about this pop up roof since some time , aprox 2 years ! But till you get all your thinking on a draw board and start cutting and welding , things are very different.
I have got in touch with many builders , mainly German and Swiss, but only 1 had a very nice product , but way too expensive.
I am not at the end , but will cost me 40% less then his.
all others were ok , but not really nice or for finish . quality material a bit low, and all far from my house .
So I found a guy that was low in work , and willing to do this job .
nice
@damienperu , the interior on which I am working is only bits an pieces for the moment .
the real and final interior setting will go to next year .
for the moment I will still use my old set up.
as soon as possible I will post some pictures.
Thanks to all for the comments .

Hi,
A great roof conversion!
I am considering doing the same. Have you noticed any issues following the removal of the roof and the cross members in respect of the rigidity of the body?

David

Hi Guys , sorry for the long absence , but due to Work and endless finishing details, I Was able to enjoy Only recently
My new popup roof.
Some more pictures Will follow shortly.
@ Globetrotogragher , I haven't aswered to You earlier because I didn't had any pratical experience on the popup roof.
Non after testing ,I can say that the torsion box before is slightly more stiff.
With the popup, I see Only an littel difference.
Still very acceptable in off road .
All the body is very silent also on toule ondule, and no deformation has been noticed.
A major helping factor are the bed rails, that help keep in shape the body.
When closed the roof presses the matreass , which is pressing the bed platform on the bed rails.
The tollerance between bed platform and rails is Just 3 mm each side.
Photos Will follow to,illustrate.
Ciao Renago
