jkoffroadin · 05-26-2006, 07:36 AM

Anyone of you guys use one of these soft tops?

Just wondering how the quality is, as it says that it uses OEM quality materials.

thanks!

So, does this thing truely need no hardware? Thats the real question... I currently only have a hard top, so I have no soft top hardware.

Thanks for the help!!

I'm not 100% positive, but I think there's a user here that goes by "The 'ster" that may have one of these. See his picture in this thread, post #13: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f59/black-painted-bedlined-grills-274540/
Maybe he can give you some info?

They are in preproduction, not currently shipping. They have run into some issues.

There is a large thread on JU by one of the testers if you would like to read it.

It attaches to the Jeep with three pieces of hardware, the windshield channel (currently a Bestop no drill header- that may change), the door surrounds, and the rear window bar. So if you have only a hard top, you would need to purchase the surrounds and rear window bar, and the pieces that hold the bar in place that screw into the tub in the back.

Can you post the link to the thread on JU?

Its been a month, just curious to see if anyone has any new comments.

I was originally looking at the multi-top from California Tops.. but after reading a bunch of stuff, I don't think I can trust the workmanship of the top, let alone the dude himself. It's a shame too, cause I even live in the same city (Edmonton) as California Tops..

Sure, 12 different configurations sounds like a great idea, but chances are I would only ever use 2 or 3 of them anyway.

Oh well, since I really like the look of a frameless top, I will have to look at the Viking top.. looks like they are doing great work!

I have had mine since May 1. I love it. Jon and Thor did a great job designing this thing.

**sevise** · 07-04-2006, 12:15 AM

Did they come tinted like that or did you do that? All the pics I see at stores look untinted.

Omning · 07-04-2006, 10:38 AM

At first I loved the fastback style, then I started to hate it.. now I think I'm back to loving it again.

I have the option of buying an 06 factory top that's never been used for about 350-400... or I could save and get one of these. I don't know what to do anymore!
