Outer Limits 4x4 Board

What are these bits called (proper name) or is it custom, what are they worth, how hard are they to find?



Like the trayback look, thinking of going the chop.

Maruti fibreglass backs. Hard to get and expensive when you find em

Make one yourself from metal

Who's bling rig is that?

Over here you can get them at the wreckers for about $400. So yeah a little expensive

How would you suggest making one?

Find a suitable material like aluminium, chequerplate or similar. These may not be as strong as steel but are as strong as fibreglass and not too heavy

Measure up the bit you're trying to cover and design a fastening system. The fibreglass things just use bolts I think. You could put any kind of clampy doodad you can buy on it though

Cut, chrome and install

*You don't HAVE to chrome it

Oh yeah Mud4b has done this before I think

THAT I HAVE...

YOU CAN BUY EM NEW......BUT I WONT TELL YOU THE PRICE..AS YOU WILL BE

THEY ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND S/H SO THAT IS WHY THEE COST SO MUCH..


$400 IS A GOOD PRICE...

But I sold mine for 100$ DO I feel silly now...

i think so

Can you tell me what they cost new? I have one in mint condition, and was thinking about making a mould and selling them cheaper than the real ones. I'm sure alot of people would like that

Sounds good gutless, no idea on new price.

I've got a good one !! $550 and it's yours P.M. me

new price.....$1898.90....bbbrrrrrrrrrrr

yep there right up there !!! so this one's still a bargin ! (salesman pitch)

so bear this in mind next time your standing next to your car with an angle grinder and evil thoughts about chopping start to cross your mind.

Well it shouldn't be too hard to get them made ( copies) for less than $1900!

Might look into this a bit more now.

I had a Hard top at one stage that was Damaged by way of inertia and inversion,

We had a good top half of a soft top windscreen surround , a targa roll bar section , and the little pieces that run from the targa section to the windscreen , I left half the hard top screen frame on cut the soft top screen frame to match and migged it onto the fixed lower half of the hard top screen frame , we used original inner targa mount sections from a trashed soft top , in the original position on the hard top pillars, bolted the targa in then the little peices from this to the siamesesd screen top ,

I just ran a bikini style camo top on that one , But mke SURE you use a well constructed ROLLBAR aswell .

Im ancertain but would be good if the targa bar section matched the shape and hieght of the hard top Offcourse there are the ridges in the roof to consider but ,
I have bothe hard and soft tops in the yard imight take some measurments.

That zook looks Grimace

YEAH TOO BLING FOR MY LIKING









AND SOME MORE

I sold that to you thinking you were going to use it on your zook not sell it and make money OOzook!!!!

at those prices i might go with my other idea
What is that some one may ask?

make up a peice that connects a zipper to the targa bar and make like a soft back to the cab that zips on and off

the company 4wd at work has this I might get some pics

Now that sounds like a good idea, probably a whole lot cheaper too.

keep me posted dude

Does anyone know if one of these cabs/roof fit onto a SWB softtop?

I can get a complete one for about $180. Roof and back in good cond.

cheers

Yes they do.

You should try to get the latches etc too, and if you can the rear wall that sits behind the seats. Its made of metal, and the maruti back bolts down onto it.

if you could get your hands on one, then buy firbeglass/ resign/hardner/ gelcoat in bulk you could probly make them for about 200 buckws each i reckon, thats with making it tough as, like 4-5 sheets of fibre glass thick. they would come out exactly the same and really smooth on the outside.

firbeglassing is really easy and somebody could make alot of money if the demand is there for these!

cheers greg

Hmmm If someone was turning out these "Maruti cabs" in fiberglass for $200, I'd get two.
