Willys-Jeep-Style Open-Top Mahindra Thar
Mahindra Thar comes in both soft-top and hard-top variants. The former is designed with safety n mind. It keeps the upright windscreen. The doors and roll-cage are also kept in place. However, KAM Customs’s modified Thar comes with many changes. The original windscreen frame, door frames, and roll-cage have been replaced with custom-built parts and assemblies. It sports a collapsible windshield similar to old Mahindra Jeeps. Even the new Jeep Wrangler has this option.

Gets Removable Roll Cage
Additionally, KAM Customs has added a new roll cage that attaches to mounting points at the A, B, and C-pillars. It can also be removed. There is also a soft-top canopy over the driver and passenger seats. Instead of the original door frames, the designers have added simple tube-frame doors without any windows. It does not have any rear seats. The rest of the specifications and features have been kept the same. One can even see the grey steel wheels of the base-spec SUV.

Overall, KAM Customs has done a great job. It takes proper planning and meticulous metalwork to successfully perform such modifications. Adding a removable roll cage is also quite impressive. This Mahindra Thar can be used in both on-road and off-roader conditions. This chopped-roof Thar has been built for a Member of Parliament (MP). This explains the PA (public announcement) system and the absence of rear seats. Thanks to a chopped roof, it is a great vehicle for public campaigns. Tell us what you think of the chopped-roof Thar.
