no its all on hold... my business got stupid busy and i'm still running my arse off. I have a new clutch and main seal sitting in a box for my deuce, materials on the ready, paint in a pail all ready to go.. Not a minute of daylight to get anything going.
Looking more and more like a January...
the WMIK's were my inspiration for this project actually... It will look nice when we get it all polished and tuned, accessories mounted etc... Im going to add those 'ahh sheet' stuck ramps too.. good thing to have roaming around off road. once its all ready the whole truck gets fresh IR...
its not that heavy, i can load it on myself by tipping the front on and lifting the rear to slide it into place. the mounting plates utilize the two front and two rear existing canopy bolt locations. I'd guess its a just a bit heavier than the top itself with glass but I can weigh it and...
I've just started constructing a cargo basket that integrates into the universal slide-in mounting angles pictures up soon.
Inspired by the window screen thread I will also be doing some tweaking to this rig. I need to add airbags to the suspension with all the steel I'm adding

the Crye is great. that is a squad from Brooks Alberta. I believe you are right and it is the CAGE stuff complete. Our unit uses MARPAT and it and the CRYE are IMO the best out there.
OK I promise to get more photo's once the opportunity arrises.
Right now, to answer your question about stability, it is just two 3/4" plywood sheets bolted to make a fiberglass sandwich. A real 60 would shred that in minutes. The stability will come later when we basically make a roll...
lol
well the solid top is bolted on right now and the neighbors might not like the sight of a 60 on the street.
sorry I thought a couple was better than none.. :-D if you can wait till spring it will look a whole less 'bush style' and more milspec
M1009 gun truck/ rack photo's added
Pictures from our latest MILSIM op. so far it is make shift (had to get it done fast). Found a donor civi top at the scrap yard for $30. Will be "up armoring" it this winter and have more pictures up.
