Gullwing Hardtop Window with Storage / Water / Kitchen???

[adam1978]

Hi there,
I have been searching high and low to find something like the photo attached for a Wrangler JL Hardtop. A flip-up or flip-down window with a cargo solution behind it. I know that the space is limited but there is still enough space there to be useful for various things. Has anyone done this? If not, I am thinking of manufacturing it. Would anyone by interested or am I alone ?

Looks interesting. It will depend on the price, how the final version looks, difficulty of installation, any other trade offs, etc.

BTW, the Sky One Touch roof has removable quarter panels. To me, that’s its most appealing feature. Although it wouldn’t be nearly as convenient to remove with the cargo area loaded to the top.

PS - Keep in mind there’s a fixed roll bar right the quarter panel you will have to deal with.

I saw some flip windows at GSMJI, I believe it was Bull Dawg Mfg. I think they were full replacement tops, and didn't have JL availability yet.

Thanks guys. The idea would be not to replace the whole hardtop, but to only take out the window and replace the window with the Gullwing like storage solution.

What about an exterior mounted one without replacing the windows? Mounting similar to this product

Once upon a time I owned a 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser. There's a guy named Kevin who innovates on some very cool stuff. One of those things is flip out windows, as you describe.

No need to re-invent the wheel. Perhaps he can help you on your pursuit.

I saw this and I think that it is a decent solution for small things that can be exposed to outside elements (like jerry cans, etc), but I am looking to create something that is locked and protected and does not create wind noise and utilises that bit of "wasted space" between the window and the roll cage.

Thanks mate. Indeed, I have found many solutions for flip-up windows, but no solution for cargo management that goes with that.

@jmccorm maybe this fits your needs?

Has anyone had any luck find a solution like this? Would really like a flip down option with a box for storage on the sides? Maybe something custom a shop can do?
