Well thats just neat. I wonder if it will go into production with the next model update

I like my soft top but that's a great idea for the hard top. Easier to remove and store, and also easy safari Mode.

Storage is definitely a major improvement.
Didn't they also develop an in-bed storage solution for this?

 

[gladicanuck]

YES!

I don't have difficulty removing the back unit one-person, but I've always been low-key stunned that it couldn't be dismantled for storage in the bed.

the more i think about it i hope they figure out the rear glass in a manner that it doesn’t immediately crack when removed. Any slight rotation make me think it will just shatter, and I can see that being a chore of doing it solo.

Very cool, they have developed a hard top that will leak in 3 places instead of just 1.

I've always wondered why Jeep stopped at the front seats only with the Freedom panels! It's a missed opportunity. Rear passenger freedom panels doesn't seem to be too far of a stretch to make happen.

Like the new fullsize bronco.

Interesting ?

I’m not familiar with what’s actually within the back of the cab or how far down it goes, but man I would love it if that rear window was motorized and just went down into the cab body instead. In my mind I feel like they could make that work for hard or soft top the same way soft top cars with frameless windows work. Also when the F*** are they going to make a Jeep with frameless windows or frame mounted mirrors? Maybe I just want a Bronco Pickup haha.

One of this year’s Easter Jeep concepts had this top on it, but Jeep hasn’t said anything about it yet. I believe they were probably testing it.

Zactly!

Let me guess - we'll have to order brand new Gladiators and you won't be able to retrofit this onto a 20-24 model.
