Re: Aftermarket H-3 Rag Top Conversion

The H3 would look much better if the doors came off. The FJ and Yukon don't look good at all.

Haha, I am guessing this isn't good for the warranty. Although you would definitely be the only one in your area to have one.

Re: Aftermarket H-3 Rag Top Conversion

So basically the took the basic look from a Old Cutlass Supreme Convert and copied onto different bodies. Hopefully they reinforced the bodies specially on the performance cars. And those covers look terrible, with loose fitting canvas with snap-on fastners? I think that you could have gotten away with this in the 80's

Re: Aftermarket H-3 Rag Top Conversion

The H3 definitely looks the best of these. Hummer could really use a Wrangler-esque vehicle with a removable roof. The Wrangler is just playing alone in that segment if you consider its ability to be a drop-top.

I am no fan of the FJ either.

It would be cool to see an SUV come out with a removable hard top in the vein of the old Blazers, Broncos, and Scouts (particularly the years where the whole roofs were removable).

Re: Aftermarket H-3 Rag Top Conversion

This is all pretty cool, but the only one that looks "right" out of the oens posted above is the H3. lol.
