Is that trailer being produced anywhere? I've seen the camper for $10k which I'd love to have. But would still need extra storage space. That trailer would be awesome.

Thanks, glad you like it. But I don't know if you'll ever be able to buy a JK Safari Cab for your own Jeep, I'm just going to mold one or two prototypes for now, I don't know if they'll ever make it to production.

Here's an inside view of the prototype parts on the workbench. Between moving the brake light up top, moving the wiper motor to the bottom, and the extra windows, visibility out the back will be much better thank in the factory hardtop.

A few more concept drawings...
First an anim showing the factory hardtop compared to the Safari Cab, and with a load on top. This concept also has slider windows in the sides instead of the kick-out vents I put in the prototype panels.
A JKU concept with a roof-top tent; the integrated roof rack support transfers all of the load to the sport bars, so unlike with the factory hardtop, no external cage rack (like the Gobi) is required to support a load like a roof-top tent. Also showing the barn door open, it opens nicely under the tent.
I showed this 2dr with roll-up sides on the first page of this thread, but this one's got hard sides.
