Why not just email Bestop?

new top with the curves on the doors?

should be an easy install - even with the new windshield mounts, and frame on the rails behind the seats.

Are you sure the top was a off a YJ? If you lay all the hardware out and snap a picture I'm sure someone could figure out which top it is.

JP magazine did a write up on putting a TJ top on a YJ. If the top you have has soft uppers for the half doors you'll need a TJ rollbar to hookup the bars. The guy's @ JP cut slots in the YJ windsheild frame for the clamps and they tore the metal. Check JP's website for the write up.
