Default Hard Top, Soft Top, or No Top?

We are always thinking of new innovative ideas and wanted to know what people are doing for top set ups...We have had a thought and want to know what you guys think.

As you can see, there is literally a block of wood holding the back of the basket up, but are there enough people out there who run no top, who still want the extra cargo space provided by a cage that might be interested in something like this?

We would simply build brackets to hold our existing basket design to the roll bars.

Lets hear what you guys think.

Here is a picture to give you an idea of what we are considering.

This is literally just an idea at this point...We won't know until we actually fab up the brackets. The idea was for guys running NO top, but looking for extra cargo space.

I like the cargo but i would prefer it to start at back doors as it does but stop in line with roll bars that 90 angle back. so i guess just over the rear seat section to the end of roll bar to keep the lines of the jeep.
From the picture take offf about 8" or so....

Still saving for a rack, but I run a hardtop most of the year, followed by topless. It would be great to have a rack that when I take the hardtop off, I can just put some brackets on and re-use the rack topless.

I like your style rack, I'm noit crazy about the look of a hard top and outside frame use to connect the rack to the jeep body/bumper over the hardtop which is why I'm saving to one day buy one of yours. It would be great to be able to just take the top and rack off and re-attach the rack without the hardtop on.
