This disclosure details vehicles that are equipped with one or more removable roof cap assemblies. Exemplary roof cap assemblies include a roof cap and a mounting system with one or more self-aligning brackets configured to self-articulate into alignment with one or more receiving brackets that are mounted to the vehicle.

A vehicle hard top lift device comprising a receiver bar with a pivot post on its upper surface opposite a receiver hitch, a mast insertable onto said pivot post, a pivot support arm pivotally connected to the top of the mast, and a linear actuator coupled to said mast and said pivot support arm. The hard top lift device further comprises an extension bar insertable and slidable within the end of the pivot support arm and said extension bar connected to a lift frame purposed to be placed inside the rear cargo area of vehicle and up against the interior roof of a hard top. Capture plates and/or capture plate channel located on the top of the pivot support arm will engage the back bottom edge of the hard top to prevent the hard top from sliding off the lift frame. A user will through a vehicle powered electrical power source operate a switch which will cause the linear actuator to remove or install a hard top on to a vehicle with very minimal effort with the raising and lowering action of the linear actuator with the pivot arm and rotational mast on the pivot point for placement of a hard top away from a vehicle or staging for installation of a hard top onto a vehicle.

A vehicle tonneau cover includes a first tonneau cover portion and a second tonneau cover portion positioned opposite the first tonneau cover portion. A connecting structure connects the first cover portion with the second cover portion. A third tonneau cover portion is coupled to the connecting structure so as to be securable in a first position to form a first configuration of the cover, and in a second position to form a second configuration of the cover. In the first configuration, the third cover portion resides between the first and second cover portions. In the second configuration, the third cover portion is spaced apart from the first and second cover portions so as to form a first gap between the third cover portion and the first cover portion and a second gap between the third cover portion and the second cover portion.

A vehicle includes a body, a removable roof, and a removable seatbelt post. The body has a pillar that includes a pillar receptacle. The removable roof has a roof pillar adapted to be received within the pillar receptacle and removably fastened to the pillar in a first configuration. The removable seatbelt post includes a first portion having a seatbelt ring. The removable seatbelt post further includes a second portion adapted to be received within the pillar receptacle and removably fastened to the pillar in a second configuration.

A cover for a truck bed that can be horizontally traversed between expanded and collapsed positions is shown. Since the cover is horizontally traversed, the person manipulating the cover need not lift the cover vertically in order to reconfigure the cover between the expanded and collapsed positions. Women and elderly people who are generally not as strong as men can manipulate the cover.

A vehicle is provided. The vehicle may include a detachable roof assembly that includes an upper B-pillar extending from a longitudinal roof rail that extends between a pair of transverse roof bows. The vehicle may also include a frame assembly. The frame assembly may include a lower B-pillar that extends from a rocker panel to a beltline of the vehicle. The lower B-pillar may include an upper end that defines a receptacle that may receive at least 50% of the upper B-pillar when the roof assembly is assembled to the frame assembly.

A flatbed deck with corner castings connects to the intermodal equipment trailer chassis. Twist locks are retractable in upper corner castings to provide an absolutely flat deck to facilitate loading and unloading. Lower corner castings are connected to corner twist locks of a trailer chassis. Cargo is loaded and a rigid three-dimensional lid is lowered onto the flatbed deck. The rigid lid has corner castings that cooperate with twist locks at corners of the new flatbed deck. Lid corner castings are recessed in the lid. The lid seals to the deck to prevent moisture ingress. Corner castings extend slightly downward from the corners of the lid. Two or more short individual lids are secured separately to the new decks. Partial loads are individually covered and protected by the short lids which are seated and sealed to the deck by securing lid corner castings.

A utility vehicle including a cab assembly, a roof assembly, a windshield assembly, a rear window assembly, and two or more couplers attached to one or more ROPS members. The couplers are each aligned with and are releasably connected with a buckle insert attached to one or more of the roof assembly, windshield assembly, rear window assembly and doors of the cab assembly.

A recreational vehicle with side by side seating has or can receive an overhead tubular framework with an accessory rail removably attached to an overhead cross member of the tubular framework. The accessory rail providing an anchor for a forward edge of a soft top with the soft top wrapping around the overhead cross member and extending rearwardly and being supported by and secured to the tubular framework. The soft top covering the side by side seating region. The accessory rail having three functional portions positioned circumferentially about an axis of the rail. A first functional portion providing the fixed anchor for the forward edge of the soft top, another functional portion providing interface and attachment features for connecting the rail to the overhead cross member, and another functional portion providing accessory mounting with variable positioning and attachment of an array of accessories above and forward of the side by side seating region.

A vehicle is provided. The vehicle may include a detachable roof assembly that includes an upper B-pillar extending from a longitudinal roof rail that extends between a pair of transverse roof bows. The vehicle may also include a frame assembly. The frame assembly may include a lower B-pillar that extends from a rocker panel to a beltline of the vehicle. The lower B-pillar may include an upper end that defines a receptacle that may receive at least 50% of the upper B-pillar when the roof assembly is assembled to the frame assembly.
