    What did you do to your roof? Is that a wrap or paint?

    Looks good. My roof has a bad fading area just on the front portion above the windshield and its so annoying to look at. I was going to just sand down the entire roof a spray it flat black.

    Really late design comment there. For the shark gills up front on the side rails, I think it would look better if the length of each cut varied differently than they do now. The top of the cutouts are linear. And I think the bottom of the cutouts are also linear, but angled from the top. I think it would look really sharp if the bottom of the cutouts followed the lower edge of the side rail... so there'd be a slight curve.

    It's possible they do and I'm just misreading based on the angle of photos. Also, I get that this is purely a design aesthetic and I could be having a really great party of one :)

    @Doozy4212 @NonTraditional

    I sent an email to Drew the other day but I won't be able to get online during the live session so I'll have to catch up later.

    Just a couple questions though.
    -cut outs for other size Baja lights?
    -side lighting options (with @mesojdm ?)
    -details of the sharkfin relocate to use for running wires
    -any other options/developments coming in the future?
    -when can we order these???

    Hello Everybody,

    Due to the interwebs completely pooping themselves today, Micah and I have decided to postpone tonight's live Q&A until tomorrow. We want to do this right for you guys so we will see you tomorrow at 8 PM MST, live on instagram. We will also be in the shop so we can give you a little tour and show you guys what is going on!

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Best,
    Drew and the upTOP Team

    Do you guys have a patch for your company yet? Because if you do I’ll need one to add to my headliner to go with the rack.
