Axial Rubicon Roof.. Anyone yet? Who'll be first!!

[Arctic Fire]

Just saw this listed on RPP, Axial 2012 Jeep Wrangler UNlimited Rubicon Roof-Clear .040

Anyone have one done and mounted yet? Google images returned nothing, and I found nothing here.

I'm glad to see someone else seen this other then me.. Can't wait to see these on the jeeps!

Curious to see how you put the body pins on if the back and sides are covered.

yEAH WTH? Is it just flat lexan or are the sides curved. I bet I could get a vinyl soft top made for that price. BTW there was a guy on here with a vinyl soft top he made himselff, very simple design- but I can not find it now- anyone know what I'm talking about??? Thanks

[Arctic Fire]

is it my six minute soft top? No windows, but it's basically free. Next version will have free windows, just sandwich some lexan between the fabric and the cardboard. (but it will take significantly longer than 6 minutes.) Thread 6 Minute Soft Top

no, but your is nice too! this guy was from Europe maybe Finland or Sweden and his was like a bikini top that was made of vinyl or fake leather? He made it specifily for the JK and it used velcro to hold it on.

ok found it the bikini top I saw was in this thread- Jeep JK Wrangler (Axial) Build

[Arctic Fire]

I've been thinking about it more, the Rubicon has half doors. How do you add a hardtop to half doors? In the real Jeep world, it's not possible without the fabric/vinyl window inserts. I think it's gonna look weird. Maybe thats why it's product shot is being held back. :P

The picture on the RPP Hobby site has decals for front and rear side doors. So it looks like the top has the top half of the "metal" door. Would not work in real life.

I wonder how hard it is going to be to put on / take off the top. Are we going to need a 1/10 scale top lift?

Mine will be here thursday so Ill have pics up either that night or the next day of it.

I hope there is some poorly implied sarcasm in that post...

Awesome to see the kit version released so soon with some nice new upgrades as well as including the top!
