Hey pooch What was rong with the poptop that was on it Be careful you dont put too much weight up there There's not much strength in the roof I had to put extra cross pieces in mine to stop it from bouncing & cracking the roof You can see photos in my gallery Cheers Reid

Oh shit,dont freak me out Reidy baby,lol!
Just hated the box look,wanted something more rounded  smaller in size n subtle to look at,like everyone else has?
it has a welded frame inside the hole/well square cut out steel frame i mean?
How would removing this box roof n leaving the frame inside the retangle and replacing it with same size retangle poptop make it weaker?
My brothers seriously anal about safety & doing things properly ALL the freakn time so i guess he will tell me if it needs more cross pieces knowing him?
Thanks for your thoughts :)

Hey Pooch Not trying to scare you just saying what mine was like When they put the factory one on they took out 2or3 cross braces & the pop top just screwed to the roof metal & wasnt supported at all by the remaining cross brace I screwed the front one up to the front one useing spacers & made a complete new one for the back Then made some short ones for the middle that welded to the inside gutter & popriverted to the roof & screwed up into the poptop Is supported properly now & doesent bounce up & down like it did when I first got it I sure your bro knows what to do so dont hassel him Cheers Reid
