I have a brand new top from a TJ that I would like to use on my CJ. I dont know where to start looking for the channel that mounts to the top of the tub.

Sell it and get one for a CJ/YJ? If I remember correctly it won't work.

You'll have to figure out a rail system, but I think the biggest hurdle will be the door surrounds. The TJ system uses the rails of the door surrounds and the top absolutely won't work without them. You'll also need the header bar that the top attaches to across the top of the windshield and figure out a system of latches since it doesn't use anything remotely similar to the CJ system.
Your best bet is to sell it and get one made for a CJ7.

A TJ top can be made to work on a CJ-7, but the trouble is in the top of the windshield frame as a small section on each side needs to be cut. Theres other mods needed and really even though it can be rigged, sell it and go with a CJ/YJ top.
