It's not final. Keep in mind everything that's been shown until now has been mockups and test-fitting.

I’m keeping in mind that I live in central Oklahoma and we have 4 inches of snow and counting, and I’m gonna have to swig some fireball and bundle up like Michelin man to go do donuts tomorrow by myself, instead of turning on my buddy heater in my UORP aftermarket and cruising with my wife and kids.
(Yes the run on was needed, not to be confused with that one guy and his rants)

I’d rather wait a little longer to have a nicer finished product than have a first run. So I can appreciate them switching gears and thinking long term. Especially since oem seems long gone.l or lucky to find.

still “slightly disappointed.”

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I have the EMP windshield so hopefully it fits just fine. Looking forward to the final product!

UORP's design engineer is pretty anal-retentive when it comes to detail. I've been urging UORP to draw first blood and get something released early on as many will take some minor fit/finish issues compared to a big gaping hole in sub freezing temps and then fine tune\improve as time goes. I personally am soooooo over zippers and am impatient. I'm glad Greg didn't listen to me on this and is fine tuning and taking the time to make a product that stands up to the UORP name. Many of our conversations happen after midnight his time. A lot of time has been put into bringing these to market, when the design phase was only started in the November time frame.

Significant update on the doors. UORP has decided to go with a plastic window frame vs fabric-type covering (steel rod mainframe is still being used). There are multiple reasons for this:

-much easier and faster to produce
-more robust for off-roading hazards
-better tolerances from set to set vs hand-sewn fabric covers
-easier/better cab sealing
-clear window insert is easier to remove/replace
-should have less flex, hence less flapping than a fabric covered door
-the clear window is velcro'd in so you can roll it, remove it, replace it with something you fab yourself like a net or hard window (this hasn't been tested so you're on your own for experimentation)

They look wonderful! I can't wait to get a set for mine. Keep us posted!

Now what do I do with all the rivets I drilled for my soft enclouser? I really like these uppers.

I am thinking you guys could use something like these to fill holes ?

 

[therebel19]

I was thinking bullet hole stickers.

 

[Jimbo]

I would just get some black snaps and snap em on and go.

FYI, the scores in the plastic frame are to allow the plastic to flex and conform to the cage/door contours. Those scores will be facing the inside of the door on production units.

More updates: Keep in mind that these are not final products. Weather stripping won't be spliced like you see here. Rivets will be black and spaced differently for production and rear window perimeter plastic width will be reduced for a larger window.

I believe that by having the front of the upper window meet the roll cage more on the inside, it's going to make for less of a blind spot.

Is the frame made out of aluminum or plastic? Nonetheless, its looking better! Keep the pics coming MO.

Main frame is tubular steel (I don't know if conduit or solid) and then the window frame is thick plastic.

 

[DirtRoadWarrior]

I just want the external door latch(s).

 

[dustywolverine]

The finish of this is looking a lot better. Pretty cool to get to see a fabricator showing off his skills to a product you will eventually own.

Seems like they could remove the center section of the rear door and put a rubber "hinge" between two pieces of plexi or whater is used.

Thanks Massive, looking great. I can't wait to see the finished product and pricing. Currently have the soft enclosure but I am so tired of zippers as well. Winter is nearing an end here so hopefully these are ready for production before next winter and they can count me in on a final production version.

Yes, that's the rear OEM soft cab back window.

 

[Wraith]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing the photos.

It's difficult to tell, but it appears that they will not work with their outside door latches. Can you confirm this?

Is there any word on pricing or availability?

It should work with their door latch from what I am aware. Door kit Should come with one.

I am more curious about the rear door latch , Do you have any information on that Massive ? I can't see one in the pics..
Thanks !
