I don't think you can get much lighter or easier to take in and out than this. I might have to create the Jeep version.

Adding the top latches today. I like how adjustable they are.

I installed the back latches, put the interior panels back in, and mounted the hatchback.

I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The corners turned out pretty good:)

What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her?

Two steps forward, one step back. Remind me not to use acrylic for windows any more. I cracked the back hatch:swear:

The acrylic is great for scratch resistance, but it likes to crack and is hard to machine.

I ordered a sheet of polycarbonate (Lexan). Much stronger and easier to machine than acrylic, but not as scratch resistant. This sets me back a few weeks.

Here's a new topic. How do I take this on and off by myself? Since it's not fully enclosed, I want to store it in my garage when not used and go from hardtop to convertible, to camper, fairly easily. My camper is too tall to drive in my garage, so ceiling mounted hoist won't work.

Let's see your ideas!! Here's a few I found.

Does anyone know of a similar hanging bag system available in the US? I think these would be great hanging on my two side walls.

Another forum I'm on came up with the idea of using wheelchair packs for Overland Storage bags. The last two are horse blanket storage bags. Nice idea for around $30 each, vs. the $400 Overland specific bags.
