I am totally floored and blown away by your skill, attention to detail, creativity and precision in which you work. It is your skill in making these products that is the same type of skill that made this country great. Thank you so much for the time and effort and the story line that you have put together to share with us. It is highly impressive to make an understatement. I sure hope these tops come to market for it would be a pure shame and a sin for them not too. Your skill is top notch sir and thanks again!

I don't know yet if the JK Safari Cab should, can or will be a product. For now I'm just focused on getting the first one built to my satisfaction

Absolutely love the two door top! I will be in line to buy one the second it becomes available if it ever does. Very awesome concept, totally transforms the look of the jeep, in a good way!

I made up a bracket to mount the power vent motor, here's a test:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_BTZNill98 I'm beginning the design of an accessory wiring harness for the JK Safari Cab, so since these work nicely support for power vents will be part of the harness. I'm also planning to include switched and unswitched power, plus support for the JK's interior lighting. The rear wiper and defroster won't be part of this harness because those will just plug into the factory hardtop plug in the JK - this harness will be for the extra features. Anything else I should design into the accessory harness?

I will do a tub-side wiring harness for switched and unswitched power, the power vent windows and maybe a few other things like AC power; all of these will terminate in a plug in the rear driver's side corner of the tub (the same location as the factory hardtop plug). The tub-side harness could also be used with a factory hardtop or soft top if those functions were needed with those tops.

Yes, but I think it makes sense to rely on the factory hardtop wiring and washer for the wiper/defroster/washer functions, so if the top is to go on a Jeep that doesn't have the factory hardtop wiring and the wiper/washer and/or defroster are to be installed in the Safari Cab barn door, then the MOPAR kit can be installed.
