Default Full Soft Top with window storage pocket in Safari top

OK help me out here. There was a company that made a soft top with a storage pocket in the top section or safari style section of the soft top. I am looking at getting a Bestop Trektop NX and want to modify it so that I can store the windows similar to this on my jeep.

Who made the soft top with the storage pocket?!? Links? I can not find or remember who it was.

I don't recall seeing any with window storage, all I remember seeing is R.R. had some pockets for small stuff.

Well I looked at a trecktop nx tonight at our monthly jeep meet and great. It's not going to work. The side windows have a plastic piece sewn into the corners where it meets the rear window. The piece has a curve to it that gives the corner shape. It will not lie flat.
After seeing how it all fits together I think maybe the capped PVC tube people have mentioned may be the way to go with this nx top.

I think you're talking about the Rampage top with the pockets.

YES This is the one. hxxp://www.rampageproducts.com/Catalog/Page4.html

It looks like they dont make a JK version. But yeah the pockets seems like a very good solution for side/rear window storage!

I was just about to chime in about the Rampage top being awesome, but not for us.

I'd still run a duster cover over the cargo area, too, though.
Once I get it I will have to see what I can come up with. Even the way the plastic piece is sewn in may keep the PVC tube idea from working. The angle it is at makes it longer as you roll it up. In fact I am giving this NX top second thoughts as I REALLY want a top I can do this type of mod too. But also one without the bows like the OE softtop I have now.

Maybe I just need metal skinned top and sides and make it so that I can bolt the sides onto a safari style metal top. Hmmm. Thats actually not a bad idea...
I just need to get some sheet metal fab tools and about 2 years experience. No problem!
