    Personally, go custom made. The Chinese eBay seem to last 2-3 years from what I’ve read on here before failure. Ron davis and be done. Heck, using my top tanks and just rebuilding mine with new cores from a shop was $780.

    Mine have Velcro above the front doors and have no issues holding down. However it’s starting to stretch the Velcro so I think a combo of both would be great. Especially across the rear hoop as it takes the most stress in mine since the majority of the time i have my sides off. Honestly I...

    I’m looking at this setup as it mimics the OEM setup. I would go with OEM but you can only find the stud as the other piece goes on the top fabric. Lift-the-DOT® - Shop By Brand - https://www.dotfasteners.com/shop-by-brand/lift-the-dot Here’s just 1 type. They have studs, screw, fabric and...

    Yeah there is definitely room for improvement 😂 At the under $3k price for a full top, you can’t get anything close to it (bad welds aside) at over double that for the same thing I would not buy it. For jeeps, a cheap full softtop for a CJ/YJ is $589. Best top version $1000. I’d be...

    On mine those are just plain bolts, no metal pieces. The Columbian top that was just in question here had those pieces. I don’t think they are OEM Toyota. Edit: Are these the things you are talking about ?

    Mine does have the same hole, just hard to see. I need to do the same thing you did. Mine doesn’t have a rear tailgate piece as I have full doors. I should have just got one for the future. I’m guessing they didn’t know what to use as there is not a factory option that I know of for a soft...

    No problem at all, anytime. Not sure I was very helpful but I have no doubts you’ll be able to fab anything that needs it.

    Yeah that is a bit rougher than mine is. You should have everything you need to work @bottombracket has a killer thread on the FRP to FST conversion. Here is the part numbers for the above the window pieces. The difference is it’s tapped for holes for the OEM snap connectors and for the...

    Pretty sure the 6.0L redline is like 5600rpm in a stock, manual setup. So that would work but I’d try to paint or overlay that with the right redline rpm. Although a 6.0 gets what 2 mpg at 5600 rpm? Who cares it’s fun!

    Appreciate the update. This is definitely a unique/niche product. Curious to see that new arch design as well. Thanks for the update for @2fpower I have one of the tops I received in June 2021. Overall I’m happy with the product. I didn’t have the outlay for $6k for an oem top not too...

    Man that ls sad to hear. It is a lot of money to outlay and get no product and no response at all. He did work with me and it did only take a month from payment to shipment. I know they were working on quality and I’ve always said it wasn’t perfect by any stretch and could use quite a few...
