i'll need to see these in person. LOVE the custom paint for only $350, except NOBODY KNOWS WHAT GATOR COLOR LOOKS LIKE, OR THE CODES!

I'm thinking black doors with green body on the gator!

like this! and don't diss my photoshop skills, I didn't wanna spend a ton of time on it.

CHANGED MY MIND........I think I like the green doors instead of the black. What do you guys think?

Green Doors black top is my vote. I ordered an all white one.

 

[steffen707]

oh snap! you already committed? Jealous!

If I go black body, white doors, it should work with Gladys, then if I get a Gator, I could just have the doors matched locally......YEAH!

RLD updated their site with photos of the JT and their cab. I like it. But I love the Plywood JT...

Did you ask them if the white matched the "Bright white" of the JT?

Yes, I spent the big bucks. I just hope it arrives by the end of September as I really need this installed by October. I think the black top with white doors would actually look better on my rig but with dogs in the back I feel the white top may be a bit cooler. I also thought about the white top with black doors but I think it looks a bit odd. Since I have a full white Storm Trooper already I may as well continue the theme...

Black top green doors definitely

I did ask but the cost and lead time changed my mind. It is not an exact match but I figure it will be close enough. It matches the Tacoma white very closely and my truck is quite close to that same white. My vehicle is never perfectly clean anyway. Functionality is my primary goal and I don't care too much about looks.

Either with white doors will look great on your truck.

Mine with black hardtop, black fenders probably will look best with black topper and white doors.

I dunno @G8R, I was leaning Alu-Cab, but this Extra color thing might change my mind......THANKS FOR MAKING THINGS HARDER!

Do you already have an RLD topper?

 

[steffen707]

the all white with White inside looks nice. Wish you could have white inside with black outside....maybe they do that....

Do you already have an RLD topper?

No. I have to wait for it. . But I really like the design and strength. I know it is very new to the US but I searched a bunch of other countries where these have been in use for many years and found nothing but positive comments. Since there was nothing else available for the JT and I need it in October I pulled the trigger. Now waiting very impatiently...

Sorry, clogging up this thread recently, LMAO, look what I found on instagram?

What's the hole on top of the roof for? AND WTH? The roof doesn't look like it has rails on it, just 3 ribs.....

EDIT:

"
rlddesign.usa
What is that? And what is THAT?
We make specialized #loadbar kits with keyed slots that allow direct bolt-through of any accessory. Want to direct bolt your #rooftoptent instead of the cheesy clamps it comes with?
Oh and that other thing...every one of our #canopies has a specialized #ventthat pressurizes the bed area preventing dust and water from entering. Say goodbye to dust-covered gear after a long dirt road. And yes, #itworks. Very, very well."

Unfortunately this is STUPID! Mount a rail to the rail that's already there, to mount something to that rail? I know its just 1 extra piece but come on......

Since you are so quick with photoshop any way to con you into rendering an all white one with white top on the JT???

Sorry, clogging up this thread recently, /QUOTE]


Clogging up this thread? Seriously? Remember, you are not really the Plywood King, you are the JT Forum Posting King. Clog away!

That vent thing is a positive pressure vent to help keep dust out. Not sure how well that will work.

 

[G8R]

The three ribs are for mounting their rack or RTT. Their rack looks great but another $1000.

I did not order their rails either. I will attach directly when I need that capability.
