Hello,
Does anyone know of a company that makes hard tops/cabs for argos? I found one that makes metal ones, but they are very heavy and extremely expensive.

They make them but are expensive... Not too many out there making hard tops.. I am going to fab my own out of fibreglass this spring / summer.

A company that we rent Argo's from called Pioneer Oilfield Rental in Alberta is making plastic cabs. They fit with or with out the Argo ROP's on. Did not see any on their website but I am sure if you phone the Ft McMurray number they would be happy to talk to you and send photos.
I made one from an old jeep canvas top a neighbor gave me for nothing. We bent a couple of aluminum rods from his scrap stock (to mount behind the front seat) and I bought the stock Argo windshield and mounting clips. Whole project was lass than $50 not including the stock windshield. I had an upholstery shop mount the male end of the clips on the jeep canvas where they needed to go to mate with the windshield clips. I can send you pics/info if you're interested .....
Thank you alcesalces4 and Augie. I will definately call Pinoneer Oilfield rental. I have a stock soft top on it now w windshield, but the trail to my camp is unforgiving to it and I don't believe it will hold up very long no matter how careful I am. I am just planning before I no longer have anything. I'm not opposed to making my own either, but I would want it to look good, not just serve a purpose. Thanks again.
Hi Dezi, look at those pics of Argo tops made with a corroplast in the middle and fiberglass inside-outside... Really light (75 pounds) and yet still strong... sentier6x6 Forum There is another made with wood and a lot of time, really well think... one of my favorite sentier6x6 Forum

Welcome to the site! My imagination isn't coalescing an image here. Any chance for a picture? I'm thinking a 9 inch top is too short.
If you mean 9 inches over the windshield - then I get it. Pictures are cool anyway.
And again, welcome to the site!
[edit - still thinking about this] Or maybe you added 9 inches all around and then the jeep top fit on that... That makes sense too...
