Raw Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 i just placed an order yesterday for a new truck cab soft top after I sold my old one a couple of months ago , phoned the company up and was told that there is a 3 week waiting list on hoods. Anyone else had this problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Mohair one4s are really really nice. Ours in nearly 4 years old and still fine no shinkage like the land rover ones. and it has lasted the outback dust and mud. Along with the 40 + heat. But wait theres more Get a Bikini top oooohhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 7 months!!!!!!! Missed the good weather by then. Im hoping it will come in the next 5 weeks as the defender is booked to have an internal roll cage made which will ideally need the hood on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at all wheeltrim but didn’t like the truck cab soft tops they have as they need the army style roll bars fit. I went with exmoortrim as the old top I had from them was good even though I got it second hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munro Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 You do need a second hoodstick or military roll bar for both the Exmoor top and the AWT extended truckcab. Bear in mind the seat back and bulkhead sit behind the first hoodstick. I have a All Wheel Trim truck cab soft top which is much quieter the the full soft top, also quicker to remove. Had a full soft top before from Exmoor, both comparable quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And luckily I a mate of mine sold me part of a hood set so that kept the cost down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Sounds neat. Does Exmoor do a variant of the truck cab to accomodate the internal cage rear stays? Not sure what you mean but depending on how the soft top fits around the cage I will either have the 2 rear support bars that go into the tub removable to allow the hood to zip up, this meaning that the roll cage hoop will be inside the canvas but still mounted into the rear tub. But im not sure if the cage as it on the pics that goes behind the internal bulkhead (in the rear tub) will make it to wide for the truck cab soft top hood to fit. I may have to have the roll hoop mounted in Fount of the rear bulkhead in the cab area. This should not be a problem as I have a pair of Cobra Monaco bucket seats so should be enough room.

Raw Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Does anyone now of any places that would modify a hood? Like a tent maker or something cheaper than Exmoor or all wheel trim Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 well it came after 5 weeks , but now has to be sent back because 2 of the press studs that "pop" it onto the bulkhead have come off apart from that the hood is a really well made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintman Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hmmm. 5 weeks delivery & then has to be sent back straightaway as bits of it are faulty? Sorry, doesn't fit any definition of 'really well made' that I've come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
