Steel 1/2 top

I think I'm going to fab. one for my CJ-5 since I haven't been able to find one. Any of you guys done this? If so any tips or suggestions would be greatly appriciated!!

Thanks, Jim

 

metal roller would come in handy to make curves.

 

someday i think that i will do that. already have a full hardtop. but i dont need a full one in the winter and i figure a half would warm up a lot quicker when it is snowing out

 

why not have a tarp made w/window in it to close up the hardtop? something like a curtain, with a zippered window/access point.

 

dont know. never thought of that.

 

cut down full one time because it was rusted across the back because it sat on the ground

 

If any of you guys can post some pics. that would be VERY helpful!!!

Thanks, Jim

 

duke54 has two half cabs but they are up in maine look into it

 

I have seen this done before - by someone who frequents this site. Take a half cab top, add to it the ~20 inch panels from a cj6 hardtop, and cut a full top down several inches.

It takes the top almost all the way to the rear and really looks sharp. I have most of the pieces to do this myself and one of these days...

 

jeepngem made a 3/4 top. DOn't know if that's who you are refering to. Very nice looking.
