    Kawasaki Mule 4010 Roof

    Just bought a new Mule 4010 Trans and was going to get the factory plastic roof but it wasn’t rated for highway travel so I looked for a metal roof and didn’t take long to figure out I didn’t want to pay 800 and up for a roof. After looking online I didn’t find too many roof projects so I looked at 1 YouTube video and a bunch of metal roofs and this is what I’m building.

    Overall size
    65” L x 60” W
    I cut the plywood 30” and used Dow rods to glue pieces together and then put a 10” piece running with the seam in the middle.

    4” sides and 3” back so bed will still tilt with roof on.

    The front has a 45 degree slope to help with the wind.

    I put a few gussets to help with strength and I put 6 pieces of plywood on sides where the top roll cage hits and that’s where I will mount my pipe straps.

    Below is a few progress pictures and after I finish I will update and show it’s strong enough to stand on

      That top is shaped just like to factory Essex top I had on my old mule. Your doing a great job on the build.

          Looks good I am surprised the factory roof isn’t highway speed rated

                    did you rubber coat it OR just paint?

                      Maybe a dumb question, but if the factory plastic hood (assume a 1 piece molding) is not highway rated, how can a home built roof out of multiple pieces of wood be?

                        Not the hood, but I am going on what the salesman told me is that the plastic roof was not rated for highway speeds. I put my homemade roof to the test already and it doesn’t budge.

                              When I got my 4010 they told me the same thing. Not highway rated. I went ahead and got the metal one. I had a 610 with the plastic roof. Pulled it all over the place with no issues.
