Get rid of the stupid wheels and clear signal lenses and I'd rock that.
along with the xrc bumper, and switch red flares to black flares. other than that I actually kinda like it too, (not the wheels obv) Where in the world did they make/get that hardtop. Ive seen it only once before, is it common?

The top is made by GR8 Tops, and was designed by our own JSherb. I've seen one and the're not bad. There isn't much room behind it though.
Yeah that's pretty impressive. I cant imagine a taller person using it like you said with the space. I cant justify my need for one either with the price tag. Still cool though!
I’m 6’4 and like my GR8TOPS fine. Added spacers under the seat.

100%. The PO of my TJ put it on the fenders. I'm desperate to take it off but he drilled it straight into the fender so It's going to need a bit of work if I take it off.
In defense of this guy, putting diamond plate on your vehicle is just more efficient than going door-to-door to tell everyone that you're white trash. (I can say this because I am white trash, though not diamond plate white trash)

The offending diamond plate from the PO 
. Don’t even want to imagine the rust under it.

Haha, I’ll swing by tomorrow. How much do you want for them? I can check out the shipping. I’d likely have to ship new fenders from the States anyways.
Unfortunate? Or not? You decide:

I actually find these projects pretty cool.
There are going to be a lot of Grumman LLVs for sale in the near future. I wonder what people are going to do with them? I imagine they could look cool as tiny RVs, or even jacked up and put on 40s
I love the creativity, and it's clearly not an offroad vehicle. That air filter housing is inspired, and it just needs a 2" chop to the top and those fender-mounted turn signals to kill it. Kudos for the Gambler front wheels as well, and for keeping the straight six but I bet you need some serious hearing protection to drive that thing, especially with that metal hard top. Plus, I know it's just the lack of skill of the photographer, but it looks pretty humorous with the blue tent hat and the flag pole snorkel.

I’ve not seen any leaks but I haven’t removed it since it was installed [don't plan to ever take it off]. I only run hard doors but I do have a set of half doors for when it warms up. Even with the spacers under the seat I still have plenty of head room. My first jeep was a Scrambler so I really like the halfcab look.
