Its a bright idea. Have you seen these? Pricey, but functional. It certainly allows for much better recess into the frame. They recently added the lights you see in the pic too. There is a YouTube video by them of an install.

I like the idea. But I would prefer the option of the l-tracks, so I can remove whatever is there easily and switch to anything I can attach to Ltracks.
Ask. It maintains the window there.

 

NEVER EVER store fuel inside of the vehicle. What do you thing would happen to you and your passengers if the cans leaked? Just fumes is enough to make you sick let alone a fire or explosion.

 

L-tracks will be mounted on the outside. With backing plate/strip on the inside top, and L-bracketat the bottom.
the stove, fuel cans and such will be carried outside, covering the rear hard top windows on the sides.

 

I would think trees would hit them. I would look at a rear rack option.

 

So where I go, there aren’t that many trees protruding onto the trails.
my question isn’t if it’s a good idea to have fuel cans there. Because I may never mount fuel cans. That was just an example.
my question is about how to mount l-tracks onto the hard top and if anyone has done that.

Definitely can make them for much cheaper but gives you an idea

 

I was thinking of getting two lengths of l track per side. Say 24” long. Drilling holes through the hard top. Above and below the rear fixed side windows on the hard top.
madding backing plates to the inside to spread the load. And mounting flanged L-tracks there.
then build accessories such as tables, stoves, fuel can carriers, camping chair carriers, etc. to easily attach to the L-tracks.
mans when not in use. It’s just a couple of tracks there.
