Check out gr8tops.com and collinsbrosjeep.com, they both sell them. If you have a factory hardtop you can sell it and buy the half cab. Collins bros is about $1200.

my dad is bald (by choice :P ) and he has a TJ, but the top of his head burns easily. also, we couldnt justify spending over a thousand dollars for a piece of plastic. so here's what we did:

we went to home depot and got a piece of 3/4 inch plywood, measured out the width and length of the size of top he wanted, cut it, stained it, and drilled holes in the plywood, using nuts, bolts, and washers to attach the top via the existing holes in the roll bar. voila, no more burnies

for less than 50 bucks.

Huh? So you just put a piece of plywood on top or you built a half cab?

I installed it two days ago. Not finished yet but given the fact summer is here I will be removing it soon. I ride only with a bikini top on in the summer. I just wanted to see how it would look. The hardest part was squeezing the rollbar through those two small holes without destroying the top :-)

I forgot to mention I picked it up for $700. The owner had someone drop it off at a half way point. This photo is what it looked like 30 minutes after I installed it. If you are interested in buying one cheap try Ebay, Craiglists or a car swap.

Very cool jeeps.

Sorry to change the topic, but is that a Manik brush guard? If so, where'd you get it from? I've been searching everywhere, and can't seem to find anyone selling them
