Subscribe to the thread. Keep the great work going and I look forward to "stealing shamelessly" your results for my own rig. Also, not having a wife, what kind if thread/needle/etc. do you need to sew the intersections together?

regarding the thread and needle question, my wife just went to fabric store and got some thread was is a little stronger then normal and used her sewing maching with normal needle size. It was no problem to sew on normal machine. I tested the stregth by putting the leash on my wife, needless to say everthing held up fine

I have gotten 2 sections done, one for over top off backseats (if I had them) and one back section. I have about 6 hrs total plus about 1 hr each with sewing. I'm still waiting on black grommets I've ordered to get here.

Looks good, but seems like a lot of work, I just got me a COP4X4 one and called it good.

I have about 8 hrs total work into it, prolly about another hr left in making mounting and installing (when I feel like removing hard top ) . I have $50-$60 dollars in parts, but I purchased more netting then I needed and other parts in just figuring out how I wanted to do it. So you could prolly spend between $30-$40 to make one ! compared to picking up the phone and shelling out $800 I think I would rather use that $750 on something else that I can't make myself
