Soft top!?!?

[Francesco_from_Italy]

I'm looking for a cheap soft top for my FJ, including two pieces soft doors.
I've had a look at some web sites and I found something (Specter Off-Road Land Cruiser Parts - Page 269 Bestop Supertop, Bestop Supertop, Tigertop and Traditional Bikini soft tops for Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. - Quadratec) but the prices are high.
Does anybody knows where to find the best price? Or maybe some used stuff?

Thanks!

Francesco

Being you're in Europe already - you might want to consider paying DSL to ship a OEM style Paki top from Ehsan. That'd be my first consideration - as the tops are fairly priced, good quality and nice looking - it's the shipping that kills us in the states.

Folks selling used stuff on here all the time.

Check the other venders - TPI, CCOT, Man-a-fre, etc. etc. - look thru the TLCA list of venders - not recommending anyone - just a suggestion.

There's also Bestop Supertop, Tigertop and Traditional Bikini soft tops for Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. - Quadratec

Honestly - anything from the states is going to get killed with shipping costs. There has to be someone in Europe, Afrika or heck - even Australia that might be more competitive.

Thanks everybody for your answers!

I tought to buy the stuff in the US becouse change Euro/Dollar in pretty good right now and could make me save some money.
Ge-top are very nice but have a couple of problems to me: they have not two pieces soft doors and unfortunately they seem to be quite expensive...

Anyway, I had a look around and the best price I found is 1100/1150 $ for both top and doors. The only way to save money would be buy some used stuff I guess...
Is there on this forum a board for this?

I sent an email to TPI but it came back, maybe becouse the address is wrong.
The one I have is tpi@comcast.net, anybody has other contacts?

I managed to send the e-mail and I received the answer, but unfortunately I've been told that Bestop Tiger Top are discontinued...

Ciao Francesco

you must have the only FJ40 in Italy
I have been travelling to Italy for business for over 15 years and have never seen an FJ40, FJ45 or any J4 in Italy for that matter.

Yes, FJs are very few; but we have a pretty good number of BJ 40 and 42, with 3000 and 3500 diesel engine.
