An idea popped into my head the other day to make a military style wagon-cover soft top for the scrambler. The idea would be to run the half-hard top on the front and then in the rear bed of the jeep I want to have it covered on all three sides. Before I elaboarte on the plan, here is a picture of a land rover defender I found with a similar sertup to give you guys an idea.
In order to support the top, I will use the existing roll bar for the front, and then fab up a similar roll bar for the rear. I plan on mounting it using my existing wood rail holes. This way I would have to do any major work to the tub and it could be removed easily. For the cover fabric, using the existing bestop belt rail system that I have installed from the supetop I own, I plan on getting a a long piece of tarp and span it from one side of the tub all the way to the other. I looked at the bestop rail system on my top and it appears to just be a thick piece of plastic sewn to the edges of the fabric. I feel this is an easy task and I'll tackle it all this week, hopefully I'll have pictures by the end of this weekend!
I plan on creating a cup-holder type bracket to mount to the inside of the tub. Then, I could just place the U-shaped tubing in both holes and just drape the fabric over.
And here's the belt rail system for anyone unfamiliar.
