Finally got the top installed. It was one of the most frustrating endeavors I have ever undertaken (and I work on fighter jets for a living). I'll get more pictures of it tomorrow but I have a few questions that hopefully I can get some help with. 1.) Any ideas on how to repair this rubber...

Yes, I'm definitely starting to notice the "hand made" build quality of these trucks. Gives them a little character. At this point the kit hasn't exactly been plug and play like I would have hoped. I'll have to wait and see what the hardware I receive does before passing final judgement. I'm...

Got some 10-32 well nuts at Home Depot that fit perfectly. That allowed me to move one step farther and find the next issue with the kit. The brackets that mount the bow frame to the side rails don't fit over the side rails because they used different rivnuts than the OEM rails which are more...

Thanks! I'm about to head to the store to see if I can find some well nuts. Their product page listing says the hardware required for installation is included minus the fasteners. It was about $5 worth of stainless steel screws and bolts that I had to buy. I'm not sure why they don't just...

I 3D printed some bow frame side rail brackets that I will use until I can get the real metal ones. Should get me by for a few days until Midwest hopefully sends the missing stuff.

Guess I should have google'd it first...

I actually dug through the bins at Lowes today and found those. Lowes didn't have any that seemed like a close enough size to fit so maybe I will give Home Depot a shot tomorrow. I have to admit I was looking at them and couldn't figure out how they work. What keeps the whole thing from just...

The soft top conversion kit and doors showed up yesterday. Unfortunately, the hardware to actually install the soft top was missing from the box and I am not yet having any luck getting Midwest Military Equipment to send the missing hardware so I am dead in the water for now. In the meantime...

I just placed an order for the black 4 man soft top with hardware kit and also ordered the aluminum combo doors they offer. I'll be sure to take some pictures and let everyone know how it turns out.

Agreed that ~$1,800 is still pretty reasonable for the whole kit as long as the top material and construction is decent enough to last a few years in the sun and elements. I was interested in their doors too but they only have CGI images of them so that wasn't very confidence inspiring. I may...

I emailed Midwest asking where the tops come from and they got back to me right away. They just said they have them manufactured for them since the OEM went out of business.

I need to convert my 2 man truck to a 4 man and it seems like Midwest has the kit I need to make that happen for a somewhat reasonable price. If I had to guess, the fact it says "replacement" in the product description leads me to believe this isn't an OEM supplied part like some of the other...
