Love my 2018 JK Willys and LOVE that hardtop!!! I have looked everywhere for one but it seems, as usual, the 2 door is not made anymore. Nice video, well done!!!
Good morning brother I done the samin my jk .4door. Wrangler 4 door .jk 👍for my food and cookers and I can plug 2 in my jeep .when I'm driving I pull a tiny home with .my jeep .lots of camping .only black tops .no dirt roads for me . And nice video. Brother 👍🙏
I use my alien shade the same way, it’s very handy! And keeping the blankets up there helps to insulate from the heat of the sun during the summer when you are driving around.
I grew up in Paducah Kentucky, but moved to Pennsylvania. Are you in Paducah ky? that's cool that you find these older but still nice picture taking cameras.
The two major problems with sleeping inside a 2 dr is interior length and the sound bar. I'm 6-2 and don't want to sleep diagonally crushed up against the bar. I've tried different scenarios but for my size I was kidding myself. My solution was to make the seat fold flat and go with a platform the height of the folded seat, that being 12-13". So I now have a seat that folds into a 74×30" bed and 25" clearance beneath the bar. To sleep 2, add more foam. Push the driver's seat fwd, treat it like a v-berth with feet at the 30" end. Remove the top bolt from both sides of pass seat, disconnect the 2 cables, remove the headrest, the seat will now fold as a typical 2 door seat always did before the nanny state took over. Add your ply filler pieces, then ratchet strap the ply to hold the seat flat. My whole interior can be removed in 3 sections in less than an hour.. 👍
@@sabio2009 disconnect the 2 wire cables from the rear of the pass seat. Lift up the skirting, you'll see the pivot plate. Remove the top bolt from each side. I think they're 15mm. Remove headrest. The seat now folds flat.. you'll need to bridge the gap from your box/platform to on top of the seat and ratchet strap it flat. After a few times you can do it quickly. I leave mine ready to turn into a bed. It works the same as before but the mechanism won't slide up onto the dash.. not important because the rear seat is out. Hope this helps.
I'm looking into a two door Jeep. My plan is to remove the passenger seat since I travel solo and make that space my bed at night. As of now on my Eastern Sierra Death Valley travels I travel at a minimum.
They’re actually sold still, but under a different name. I guess Smittybilt discontinued it but then sold the design to another company. If you look up “Patriot Fastbacks Jeep Wrangler JK Adventure Top” on Google, you’ll find the same exact safari top for the 2-door model. Same design, just different manufacturer now. Eventually planning to get one for my 2-door JK too 😁 That extra headroom and alpine windows up top are muy gorgeous.
Nice safari top! I did a similar interior for our 2015 2 door sport soft top. I'm 6-2, my wife is 5-9. She had no problem sleeping on the driver's side, she sleeps with legs bent. I prefer to stretch out, with the seat in it isn't possible. After figuring how to make the seat lie flat I dropped the platform to 12" which is the same height as the folded seat. If you're tall and want a great sleep it's worth considering.

Thanks man! I’ve decided to now get a 2 door as I really wanted a short wheel base version and now I can sleep in it also.
Best two-door Jeep camping option I've seen! Can you possibly make another video going into detail how you made your bed?
Digging the extended roof - gives a similar feel to a poptop!
Great video, I’d love to see more of your Jeep based travels.
Best 2dr convertion I've seen, nice work
Haha finally an advantage to being short.
Call it a win

I absolutley love the journey you're on! Amazing tour, you look like you're enjoying life!

Well done! Pretty good content!

Great work, thanks for the video!
Nice man, im finishing my build and love the way you did your slides with the cutout on the bottom
nice rig!
Nice job
What is the platform length from the folded passenger seat to the back of your Jeep?
Any problems with that top leaking? Seen some reviews about the windows having a hard time ataying sealed. I do like the look though.
I grew up in Paducah Kentucky, but moved to Pennsylvania. Are you in Paducah ky? that's cool that you find these older but still nice picture taking cameras.
Do you have a video on your custom hard top? That looks to be off of a Land Rover?
EXCUSE ME SIR! what camera are you shooting with? Your image is beautiful
@joshav - do you have a build thread on ExPo or anywhere for those slide out trays in the rear? That is a well done idea that I'd love to replicate
In inches how much sleeping space do you have with the seats slid forward and bed fully put together?

How did you modify the passenger seat to fold flat?
@@sscbkr48, how did you get the passenger seat to fold flat?

@@sscbkr48 , thanks!
Great conversion. Where did you get the Hardtop? If it came with the Jeep, who makes it?
Where did you get the top been looking for one

You can fold it flat and sleep inside. I'm 6-2. I explain how I did it. Best mod you can make if you want to stretch out and sleep in comfort.
Did they discontinue the safari top for the 2 door? Looking on the website, I only see the 4 door >.

What is your bed’s total length?
That hardtop is very expensive sheesh I want one that’s why I clicked here
Wow ! To cool. Where do you live? I have a jk that I would like to do that to. I would hire you to do mine. Smile
nice
Hey there, great video...quick question, do you think this sleeping setup would work for someone who is 6ft tall? Thank you

@@sscbkr48 Alrighty, thanks for the feedback..I'm currently in a Jeep Renegade...in a year or so, I think I'll trade in for Wrangler.
@@sscbkr48, how are you able to lie the passenger seat back flat?
@@sscbkr48, how did you get the passenger seat to fold flat?
Brah, safari tops leak. If it doesn't yet, just give it time.
BTW, subbed.
