Added a high top

I finally did it added a high top. Thanks to Vanimal for selling one to me, I added a 19" or 20" fiberine top.

I put solar panel, fan, and traction boards on top before install. It was much easier to mount it to the top on the ground. And installed lights on the side. Then cut the top off glued screwed, bolted it together. Then wired everything and added framing for ceiling and wall panels.

Looks outstanding there. You have been busy. It was hard to tell how nice the top was with all the dirt on it when you took it. The drive home in the rain did it wonders! HA! If I know better you waxed the heck out of that top!

Looks great!!! What are you using to run the power for the exterior lights through the side of the top? Do you have a close-up picture? I've been looking at something similar, but haven't decided on how/where I want to get the power through the top.
