We are only doing one style of top, which is a 24" high top for both the SB and EB ford van. I'll have a few pictures of the top on my van hopefully buy this coming friday. There are a few shots of the top in this thread, but not mounted on a van.

I'm interested in seeing it as well. I'm considering a Fiberine 20" aerodynamic top but hung up on the fact that I'm 5'11" and apparently It will be too short.

I went from a pop top to a fixed top and would never go back. The only drawback I can really think about is that my van went from sleeping 6 to sleeping 4. It's warmer, quieter, has more storage, blah blah. Now, the people who bought my other van LOVE the pop top and I don't think they'd trade it for anything. Hope this helps.

Any chance you could do one similar to the AdverntureWagen? SMB did one (or more?) for Jimmy Buffet, but they said it was a one off thing and the manufacturer is out of business. I'm considering (not certain yet) of switching from my PH top to a fixed top with fixed bed up top in back. This top is the ticket for that layout as far as I can tell.

I am officially looking to install an rb 24" high top. Any picture updates?

HI Phil -

In the feature we may add different styles but currently only going to be offering a 24" and 14" top like the one pictured. I am having them made in a different state right now... But we will be moving the plugs to Colorado. Doing a one off top can be done but is costly and since this isn't a full time gig right now would be hard to pull off, especially since I have limited time.

Cheers
Mark

Well crap not sure why stuff is flipped maybe to the file is to big… oh well. I'll try and resize. My work schedule and life schedule has made it really tough to get my top installed. Hoping to find time soon so people can see what it looks like installed.

I was told that SMB has the adventure wagon top mold as the original owner passed away and talked to SMB a few times this year to see if they were willing to make a couple tops. They said no. They said it was to much of a pain to work with. So I ended up with the cruiser top. I love that adventure wagon top.
