Looking for a Soft Top for BJ74

[Joe70]

Before anyone flames me for not searching.... I did a couple of searches but came up with nothing. I have an order in with Wayne for the fiberglass half doors for the back and I would like to get a soft top that will work with them. Who do I talk to?

Wonder if Eshan would be interested in building them, mind quantity would be limited and may not be worth his time.


How about Japan, any companies selling kits, my buddy is looking for one also.

At this point he is planning on buying some doors and taking the top half off and having a custom top made locally.

I have seen them somewhere in Japan = on a website. Ask your importer to ask his buyer where to get them. I will ask next time i get a chance.

so...
what kind of money are we talking for complete soft top and bars

screw the soft top, just find a better way to connect/disconnect the hard top.

I would imagine that the factory soft top would be fit for the full rear doors. I would really like to get a top that will completely enclose the rear and snap on to the half doors I hope to get. Speaking of those doors..... Wayne, Have you placed the order yet? When can I expect to get them?

screw the soft top, just find a better way to connect/disconnect the hard top.

Let me give you an example. You head out to go wheeling on a hot summer day with the top off, hair blowing in the wind etc. etc. Half way through the day a storm comes in and starts to pour rain. You reach in the back and pull out your soft top and problem solved.

first, yes the doors are on order but again we are dealing with Mike here. it could take up to a year to get the set built and shipped. they will be high quality but he is slow as molasses...

the soft top is not "You reach in the back and pull out your soft top and problem solved." it is a very time consuming endevor. you want quick rain sheild then you want a bikini top. 2 minutes and you are done...

Hi!

I got mine from www.cabrio.de and are maid for removable windows. Its tight and not too dificult to assemble. I can roll up side and rear windows and fold the hole soft-top in the back. It also came with a cover. I had to drill 4 small holes in the front windscreen and 2 under the roll bar. I'm not sure about the price. Ca €1300. 5 minutes to fold up, 2 minutes to fold down

If you want more details, just tell me!

 

[crushers]

yep, i want more details
thanks...

 

[Joe70]

More details please. That is exactly what I am looking for.

For several Off-road-cars with hardtop or canopy-top
and fixed top frame we developed folding top conversions, which you can open fast and easy nearly like a sportscar softtop. These sets were produced by ourselves, so all our experiences in this field will find their way into the product, as well as our quality in workmanship, which is much more than the usual standard in the 4-wd-market.

You're not kidding....what a Godsend it would be to pull the top back that easily.
