Default Locker for the zippers

I carry a lot of expensive tools in my Jeep. Therefore, I want to make a locker on the zippers of the 3 windows of the soft top. Did you heard about a kind of mod. like that?

The problem with that is they can just cut the top anyways. There really is no security UNLESS you get a tuffy storage box.

locked or unlocked zippers only keep the honest people out. many people mount a box in the back and lock it...

X3, waste of time on the zipper locks.

I fabbed a metal cage in my TJ so I could keep my soft top and have the open air feeling, yet have more security when hauling my drums. Worked great, had a lot of people ask me about over it the years. It was always funny when out with others with soft tops or tops off how they would always want to stash stuff in my Jeep when we stopped off to eat or do something when off-roading.

You shouldn't even have to lock your zippers around honest people

Default this might work

frog you could bolt an eye bolt thru the rear floor pan and then run a vinyl covered steel cable thru your tool handles and trigger assemblies and padlock them. leave your top open but still have a little slow down security for the tools....
