canopy from Jeep CJ hardtop

Nice going guys. Now you have bummed out Mike. And he is rightfully proud of his work

Nah I'm not bummed out.
If I have something laying around with no intention of selling I look at it as a raw material. I also have a cap for a Toyota Pickupthat I considered using.
It was too thin in my opinion- good only for a sunshade/umbrella.
I get some real FOPS protection out of this and it only cost $20.00 out of pocket.

I didn't post to get approval just to share and if anyone had suggestions
they would be very welcome!

I'm funnin' ya. It seems like no matter what I sell anything for, someone will always try to tell me it was worth twice as much. Of course you never see them with their wallets out.

Those old Jeep people sure seem to stick together and keep the prices up. I like the top and I saw one a while back for sale for 30 dollars with a broken rear gate. Now to find it ! Sure looks like a nice factory lid !

I have been toying around with doing something similar to that. I don't want to use a cj top though I was thinking a firberglass truck cap from a compact truck could be used. I had one and gave it away a few months back then the idea came to me. Go figure I get rid of some thing then find a use for it.

Good call on the camper tops....you can get those for a mini truck, and that too would be a cheap cap. Seems they are around just for the haulin' off...

The camper top is a good idea,I had a fiberglass one I couldn't give away. I don't care a jeep top was used,that makes the remaining ones more valuable. It was actually a pretty good use of something you didn't need.
