Simply the strongest hardtop ever built…Period!!

Shop Jeep Hard Tops

BDM(BullDawgMfg) is proud to introduce our "Highlander Edition" hard tops which cater to the "Overlanding Community" where the journey is more important than the destination and also those that want to use their Jeeps in the most rigorous or adventurous of ways. Engineered with a "Dynamic(Driving) Load Rating" of 600lbs and a "Static(Sitting Still)Load Rating"of 800lbs, the "Highlander" tops are constructed for the most demanding of conditions. These hardtops are manufactured utilizing various advanced composite core materials and techniques which result in extremely high "Load Bearing" capabilities. The various composite "Sandwich Core materials" such as 1708 Bi-Axil, Klegecel and Coremat are strategically placed within the hardtop to create a series of I-Beam's all while keeping the overall weight to a minimum This corresponds to a strength to weight ratio that is unparalleled in the industry. No other hardtop even comes close!!

Typical "Overlanding Setup With Discovery Windows"

So, don't let barriers keep you from what is out there. Pack a tent, survival gear, rescue gear and explore the path less travelled. There are so many configurations, but the only barrier now is your imagination. At the end of the day, your home is where your Jeep is. It only takes a couple of minutes to setup camp, then do it all over tomorrow.

Up until now, the only option one had to handle very heavy loads was to use a rack system that required either drilling through your hard top and fastening it to the roll-bar or attaching it to the Jeep body itself. Not only are these methods burdensome but they are also expensive and are prone to leaking. The Highlander Top provides a sleek looking, quick and convenient alternative to the above(about a 30 minute installation of the hardtop) and overall, costs much less.

The "Highlander Top" can be ordered either by itself or with one of the below recommended configurations.

  • Perry Craft Heavy Duty Cross Bar Rack This is a traditional cross-bar sytem rack in which the bars can be positioned up to 55" apart. It's seamless extruded aluminum bars are light weight, strong and feature a durable black powder coat finish. It's cross-bars are also compatible with any of the Thule brand roof rack accessories.

  • Rhino Pioneer Platform Rack The Heavy Duty Pioneer Platform rack is extremely versatile and designed to be tough.

Easily move legs and crossbars to accommodate different size of loads. They also come with a 5-Year limited warranty.

6 Reasons to Love The Jeep LJ and it’s Hardtop

 

 What is there to know about the Jeep Wrangler LJ Unlimited Hardtop 

The LJ, an acronym for the term ‘Long Jeep’, measures a full fifteen inches longer than its Jeep TJ counterpart, making it unique in design, function and overall aesthetic. 

But many of you may be wondering, why consider purchasing an LJ Hardtop - particularly when they may be on the slightly more expensive side? 

The LJ was built to be a more user-friendly model that could be used as an everyday driver instead of only as a 4x4 specialty vehicle. As noted, the body is 15 inches longer with a 10 inch longer wheelbase. More room, increased stability, and of course mainly storage space behind the rear seat, it only added 2 inches of legroom for the rear seat. But to help you understand why this vehicle is SO legendary, here are our top 6 reasons why LJ’s are one of the most popular Jeeps on the marketplace.
