How did you do that? Wow!
Aluminum sheet and made a pattern with poster board cut and marked holes. Installed flat sheet against the bumper and pushed with fingers to add some shape to get it tight to the bumper. Then added door trim to left, right and top edge. Took longer to paint then make the pieces.
The JK one was a little easier but to make the radius I had to use a hammer and the concrete step to make the tight radius. Took the aluminum brackets from the winch that mounts the box to the center of the winch and cut off the part that sticks up. Then drilled a 3rd hole in each bracket and tapped the holes 1/4-20. Came out like it was ment to be there.

Made a trip down to GA to see family and got to drive my mom’s Sahara with the SkyOne Touch Top... really considering trading my sport s to get something with this top. A bit jealous of everyone with one of these now!
Yeeeess, give in to the power of the sky top!
:like:

In all seriousness though, decide what kind of build you're going for first, then check compatibility with the sky top. I've run into a number of problems where the original product/idea I had will not work with the sky top. Not a deal breaker for me, since primarily this is my daily driver right now and I'm building towards future overland adventures when my kids are a bit older, but a little frustrating.

Some of the main issues I've had:
-Cargo space covers / shelves / basically anything designed to mount under the rear side windows
-roof racks (I know there are two options right now, but neither will work with the cowl snorkel I already ordered)
-anything that requires you to lower the windshield
-anything requiring power in the cargo area: from what I understand, the sky top takes up 2 of the 3 available 12v circuits in the back, with the 3rd being the existing socket.

That being said, I love my sky top and I know I wouldn't be driving with the top open half as much with a hard top or manual soft top.

That looks great. Now make a template and sell a few pairs on here :like:

Looks great. Like the color match with the Rubicon outline. What’s the color code?

It’s a rainy day here and I had a short day at work, so I thought I’d try and make my ocd shut up. .......:mad:......With a full tank of gas I’ve had a 5/8” lean to the passenger side for a while now. So I added a half inch spacer to passenger side.............

since i puttered around the past few days on my JLUR I figured I better keep peace and spend a bit of time on the JK. Today being warm out I ventured to install the soft top. The Jeep is 3 years old and the top has never been installed. All the parts were there and this was no easy task since it needed real stretching to get it into place.
Overall about 2 hrs work, but it looks great. I didn’t realize the soft top also has a sun rider flip up top for just the front.
Very cool.
Now got,to find a place to put the hard top.

Yesterday installed and wired up my arb twin compressor. I'm embarrassed to say I had it sitting in garage since Black Friday when I bought it lol. Thanks to @Jeep Generation for the video and help for the wiring. Also over the weekend helped my uncle install his compressor inside his small leitner box on his JT, as well as mounting his road shower. Didn't take pics of those two yet
