I believe the one above is a civilian truck top but amtech does make one as well.

I'm looking for a helmet top for a M998. Anyone have a nice one for sale?

 

[rhinob]

Ditto. Not interested in paying $4k either. That's just obscene. Might as well pay a little more and buy new from the manufacturer.

I have one I'd probably sell but shipping would be hard.

Gunsgreg can you post a picture and what is the price? Or trade for some parts?

I was at Letterkenny Army Depot yesterday picking up some trailers for our Sheriff's Office thru the LESO program. I saw a couple of hard top HMMWVs there and wanted to know what they were used for. I searched and found that it was a kit that could be ordered thru supply to convert soft tops but I just wondered if there was a specific use besides being drier and warmer than a soft top. First two pics are ones I saw yesterday, the last is one I found on a image search.

OIF1 no armor no doors no roofs. very easy to figure out who's shootn at ya by the sounds and where they are coming from. 4 troops in hummer are able to handle themselves with all the angles to shoot from. somebody important somewhere ordered those turtle tops the day we were leaving to go back home. (thank goodness) your a sitting duck in one of those and inside it was 2x whatever the outside temp was, no a/c in OIF1 What it comes down to is if your happy with what you need your rig to do then there you go

HMWWV Top



$750 located in Fort Smith, Arkansas 72908. If I have to somehow get it ready to ship like crating or palletizing we will need to agree on cost because of size this thing is pretty big.

I would call overall condition good with no cracks but needs a good washing and coat of fresh OD.

And bring wasp spray!!!

Amazing. Searching high and low and here's one sitting in the weeds for $750!

 

[Tornadogt]

that is a good deal for anyone close enough for shipping not to kill them.. (wish I was within reasonable driving distance)

So I pulled the trigger on an ATTBAR as I preferred the lower profile. Here are a few photos of it installed. Did not require a different windshield, but did require the C-channel removed which was counter to the directions.

now that is cool stuff. only thing in desert zones without a/c its a roaster

 

[WannaBeHumvee]

Can I ask where you found the ATTBAR?
Was the price decent?

I found it on the 'Bay' where it was only on there for about 24 hours. Put down my deposit and launched to pick it up 2 weeks later (seller was delayed in his availability). It was more than the current 'Bay' price on a helmet top (which is on there now), and less than Eastern's. I much prefer the lower profile and have first-hand info that they would sit on top with lawn chairs and sat gear in Iraq. Plenty durable for my use and relatively rare and unique. I'm happy.

That looks nice. What is the curved lip that sticks out over the windshield?

 

[rookie]

Yes indeed they are very cool tops I'm taking the side tool boxes out and installing Windows on mine to get more light and breeze.also putting a rear window in the back for visibility I'm building a truck right with it on.

Yes, it sticks out slightly. Nice aesthetic addition.

That's an interesting idea.
