    Yes. The Jeep top came from stuff from Home Depot, I used insulation sheathing boards that were 4'x8' and 3/4" thick. I used a razor knife and hot knife from Harbor freight to cut the basic design, then glued it together and covered it with a light coat of fiberglass, then put the lexan windows in. Tie down points were made from electrical pipe tie downs. The entire unit weighed maybe 65lbs. It wasn't pretty but it got the job done. I had the top on the jeep for several years before I sold it. The same thing could be made for an Argo.
    I may put one together this winter if it stays cold.

    That looks great, but more important looks functional.PC010053.jpg I love my hard top. The over hang on my virtually eliminates needing my wiper kit, even in a heavy snow fall.

    A bunch of folks are using Coroplast plastic sheets to build boats, temporary shelters, similar things. Coroplast is a plastic product that can be had in 4x8 sheets for $20 or so per sheet. Most of us know the material from its most common usage which is for sign boards. It is made similarly to cardboard, but its a plastic.

    It comes in various colors and thicknesses, and has some built in insulative qualities. I think it would make a fine top for an aatv.
