New Camper King (san diego) one piece fiberglass hard top

[middleofnowhere]

I purchased a 2023 Rubicon Diesel. It came with a soft top. I wanted a hard top, but never cared for the removable panels and I wanted the top to be old school tan.

Camper King, in San Diego, just put a gladiator hard top on their website. https://camperkingusa.com/2020-2024...es_oem_gladiator_jt_slider_glass_preinstalled

I called and spoke with (I assume) the owner, he answered all my questions. I then placed an order for a “camel/spice“ color hard top with a solid glass window. A few weeks went by and they texted me a photo of a “black“ hardtop and said my order was ready. I texted back and said I ordered their “camel” color. Another week and I went down to pick up the top. They put an OEM sliding window in, which I didn’t order. Other than that, the top is beautiful.

I think I got their first one. This is a one piece top and does not have removable panels. It should support a heavy roof rack or tent without any issues.

Very nice! Love the tan. Does the inside already have a headliner in it? It sorta looks like it in your pic. Will curious to hear about any wind noise or leaking. I’ve been wanting to go back to a hard top, but the prices have gone insane.

The interior is like an outdoor carpet that is bonded to the fiberglass. I have a “hothead” liner left over from my soft top that I hope works in the new hard top.

Nice to see new options. Thanks for sharing.

Looks good. I am in the same boat, I have only removed my panels once, and that's when I was working on something. Now mine has a rack and they can't be removed.

Good for snow country. Ice makes the removable panels create scary creaking and cracking sounds.

Damn that would look great on my Gobi JT. Great for you and heads up for others on them being available.

Now that you've had it a while how do you like it? Does it just latch down in the front like the factory panels do?

I love that someone is doing a 1-piece roof, but my idea of an ultimate roof would be ala' Land Rover; raised a few inches with windows!

Nice Top! Very cool someone else is manufacturing hard tops!. Remember back in the day when Sears sold Jeep Hardtops? JCWhitney used to sell them too. I actually purchased one that had a little bit of the lift in the back with two small windows in the middle where it raised.

There is no attachment above the windshield. There are hard mounts that bold to the roll cage by the passenger and driver sides, that's it.

Thanks. My hard top is probably the least favorite thing about my truck. Everything about it is awesome except for that. Creaks, pops, wind etc. I know I'm in the minority because most want the top off but if there had been an option for a solid non removable hard top ID have bought it. Lol

Mine came with the soft top, I like this aftermarket much better than I would have like the factory top. The only thing I don't like is the sliding window in the back. I would rather had a straight piece of glass.

Me too. My window itself has never leaked but the seal around it did about 6 months into owning it. I used the rubber tube trick around the glass and it took care of it but still on a 63000 dollar truck it was disappointing. I hate dealing with dealerships because it always seem like they mess up more than they fix.

I ordered mine with a soft top. Liked it at first but not usable with my rtt setup. Also it's loud on long highway trips.
How's the noise floor? Hot and cold weather insulation better than the soft top? Thanks
