Hi, Nice ride.

If you look at this page, I have made a 3d model of the frame for the soft top: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/looking-for-a-soft-top-for-bj74.92215/page-4#post-1153236

I also made a PDF drawing of the tube parts and it can be downloaded here: http://nlck.no/forum/download/file.php?id=5919

Luca - I have the same question. Where did you purchase that Best Top? I would really like one.

Is this the same one as the cabrio.de top? I've tried to order one from them and they no longer have the full kits for sale.

Those drawings are great btw. Thanks.

Beno might have a lead for you soft top people.

Is there a thread somewhere that I'm missing.....?

Beno bought a new top for his 70 I think,afaik the 73 never came from the factory with a softop.

Well I don't know if the 73/74 /came from the factory/ with them, but there is most definitely OEM Toyota 73/74s with a soft top--I've seen them in south America. Yes, OEM Toyota. I also have all the part numbers for OEM Toyota 73/74 soft tops, bows, and all other hard parts. (Most of which is available new in Japan still.) It's just a bit pricey for a complete conversion to soft top from hard top for a 73/74 (~$4000+ USD). It's also not a trivial thing to convert from soft top to hard top or vice versa (there's a nice thread on here from Wayne where he converted from soft top to hard top on a 70/71.)
