JLU hard top converted to JT bed cap!

Wow, very clever! I see you had to make a whole new latching system to pull off the swingout. As all have said, we bend the knee. I'm especially taken with little "easter eggs," or details, that masters include in their work, which often go unnoticed - nice trick with the window hinges. You have a tailgate that would never betray itself as anything but. What advantage does that give you over the 17" or so of extra bed length? If you are just showing off, please continue.

Btw, the embossed ridges of the original Unlimited top could not be a better match to the Gladiator hardtop. That's a great photo you took from the rooftop. You are giving the big production guys a run for their money, something to think about, and a spanking.

The advantages of the swing out tailgate will be clear once I get the roof top tent fitted to the cap and a pass thru panel into the tent from the bed of the truck. Everyone seems to miss that the hinge setup is 100% revertible to a drop down tailgate by unbolting the hinge and reattaching the factory hardware, takes like 10 minutes as I’ve done this twice now.
