Here is one. How about my half cab soft top. It works great. You can run with just the top or with the cab enclosed, or with the sun shade on in the back. It is dry in a storm, breezy in the heat.

This thread is awesome. I'll be back. I'm going to throw rocks at my rig.

Don't throw rocks at it ... throw it on some rocks ;) or what I like to call ...

Bashing ;D ;D ;D


I'm gonna go beat mine like it was the neighbor's pitbull ;)

Not much, but I like them. I took some speakers and put them into cheapo light enclosures so I could have some noise makers in the buggy.

Bax that is a sweet top! Looks alot more user friendly than having to snap or zip sides on and off but still keep gear in the back dry.

How about some custom twin stick knobs and a Harley shifter knob? Decided to make my twin stick and my own custom gear banger a little more interesting. Hint- Phillips = Front.
;D

Geary OK.
I've had some stuff shipped to my brothers house so the wife don't know I ordered more parts. In a storage room I have " bronco corner " as she calls it, for the parts waiting to be installed.

Here are a few of my fabrications. I made a sliding storage tray for under the drivers seat. I also made a tunnel cover to cover up the linkage of the gear banger style shifter. I also made my own gear banger shifter(with an assist from Madgyver) I made my spare tire carrier and an attachment that allows it to be abjustable in both height and depth so that if in the future I change my tire combination I don't have to rebuilt my carrier. Also completely fabricated my bumpers. The last two are of my removable sterring wheel and fabricated column, and my fold down dash panels.

do you have a write up for your DIY gear banger? My NP435 throws are getting old and long.

I will do a write up on in when I get home from work (on Friday) so I can have access to my pics on my home computer. It wasn't terribly difficult at all and only took a few hours once I had all the parts and pieces together.


I have to give credit to Madgyver because his idea was what I used as the basis for mine, although mine is different than his.
