Description

For years, Jeep owners asked for a Wrangler with a little more room.  In 2004, Jeep finally answered with the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited—somewhat reminiscent of the 81-86 CJ-8 Scrambler.  However, they chose not to market the new Unlimited with a half cab and cargo bed like a Scrambler.

Enter GR8TOPS.

We built the Jeep that Jeep didn’t.  These half hardtops make your Jeep Unlimited…well, unlimited. Your Jeep will push the limits when you can easily haul around wood, mulch, toolboxes, big coolers…anything you need, in the back of your new Jeep truck.  These tops include a specially designed lower fiberglass bulkhead panel that fits around the bed and wheel wells.  The half hardtop fits over the front section of your factory roll bar and bolts to the top of the bulkhead to provide a sealed cabin environment for the front two passengers.

No seat legroom is sacrificed with the XTOP halftop.  With the bulkhead and hardtop installed, the seats slide all the way back on the sliders.  The seat can then recline between 2 and 3 “ticks” on the recline lever.  If you normally have your seats reclined more than that, you will lose some recline but no slider length. If the half hardtop is removed, you can still reinstall the OEM soft top or the OEM hardtop easily, with the bulkhead left in place or removed.

Proudly Made In The U.S.A

Speaker pod option does not include the actual speakers, just blank enclosures for you to transfer your existing speakers or update to larger size speakers.    The speaker pods enclosures are built onto the lower bulkhead NOT the hardtop itself and are just blanks for you to make your own size cutouts.

The inside bed length measurement from the tailgate to the divider bulkhead is 46″.

The Base hardtop kit includes the following:

Xtop 1 piece half hardtop
rear sliding window and single locking rubbert gasket
2 adjustable cam tension latches installed into the hardtop
lower bulkhead panel (speaker pod option is an upgrade)
mounting hardware to mount hardtop to tub rail and bukhead
mounting hardware to mount bulkhead to floor and fender wells

INSTALLATION NOTES:

This hardtop requires modification of your existing factory rollbar. The top will fit over the front section of your factory roll bar but the rear two “kickers” of the rollbar must be cut off. This modification of your factory roll bar alters the integrity of your factory roll cage. Although not required, we strongly recommend purchasing an aftermarket bolt in cage kit for the front part of the factory cage. These aftermarket kits either bolt in or replace the front part of the cage and are designed to go down the dash to the front floor of the Jeep. The Unlimiteds almost require that the rear cage be reattached or a new external cage fabricated. The body and the frame on the Unlimiteds is much longer and therefore will flex more in off road conditions and could possibly warp or bend body panels without the rear bars installed.

** Be sure to read the tech installation article that was in Jrations Magazine. It includes a full write up of installing the top and also addresses the rear roll cage.  PREVIEW ARTICLE HERE

This hardtop kit consists of two pieces: the hardtop itself and the lower bulkhead panel. The lower bulkhead panel (shown above) should be installed using weatherstrip tape against the body of the Jeep and requires drilling four to six 3/8” holes in the floor and wheel wells of the Jeep to hold the bulkhead in place. The bulkhead conforms very well to the wheel wells, but additional sealant may be required to completely seal the bulkhead. Many customers permanently “seal” their bulkhead in place by installing a spray in bedliner such as the Rhino Pro Bedliner that GR8TOPS installs.
