Bimini top with OEM bows?

[85roktoy]

Anybody ever seen a top like this? Love the style/design. Maybe a home brew.

Would be interested in how much road noise it produces too.

I love that top too. Note the frame is not an FST bow set. It looks similar, but the “b” pillar is way behind where the FST b pillar is. Such a well executed setup with looks and function. The seller of that truck didnt know any info on the custom top unfortunately.

I have the same or a similar top on real steel bows.Fits fine and is about as loud as you would expect when it flaps in the wind with no sides or back.

Factory FJ40 Soft Tops, Bikini Tops, and Dusters.

Had this custom made locally.

I used to run a Bimini on my oem bows on my old '73. I got the top from Ehsan in Pakistan back when we could import tops from him.

Found another old pic of the Bimini.

I sold this truck to @cbmontgo years ago. He moved it along shortly after, but I imagine he kept that top. maybe he still has it? Could be used as a pattern maybe? I hope to have another fst someday, super fun.

I absolutely love that design. Maybe someone can design one?

Yeah, those Pakistan dudes were awesome. Made some nice stuff.

I know these photos are re posts, but fitting for this topic revival.

Dirt Road Tops used to offer OEM-style Bimini Tops for OEM bows. Still listed on her sight but zeroed out in the cost. She makes tops to order, so might be able to order one from her.

Yeah I think this is Julie? If so, she’s like 10 years behind

Is this Julie?

Julie owns Dirt Road Tops, yes.

Hey Martin, I still have it indeed

Would be happy to provide measurement/dimensions if it helps someone.

One of the options is to buy the old damaged oem top. I was lucky to buy it. It was damaged from the side. I just cut the sides. It is oem fit. I love it
