I am looking for a complete soft top for my FJ45 Troopy. If anyone has one for sale or knows a good guy that can make them. Let me know what you have and how much.
Thank you

get ready to drop a couple of G.
you might get lucky and find a used set, but that would be unlikely.
ocdbeetle is the guy to get your canvas from, and there are "apparently" troopy bows being made on that side of the world now.
ocd (jim's) canvas would be my recommendation.
i do believe that you can get a complete set up from pakistan. no idea on the price. a bit of searching on soft top info will find you the vendor.
if you plan to go "swing out half doors" in the back, you'll need to do some body work as the hinges are in different spots.
you might be able to find some "full" soft rear doors (you can get them custom made as well), but get ready to spend some money.
if your troopy was not a factory soft top, you'll need to do a few small modifications, it won't be a bolt on deal but not too hard to do.
you'll save yourself some $$$ by being as hands on as you can.
your tub will be missing paint at the top of the body line, thanks toyota!
cheers

Soft top
Thanks for the information. I am still dediding if I should fix the hard top or go for the soft top. Probably about the same money either way.

find a nice, safe, dry spot to store the hard top (you can fix it up later).
go the soft top

I will be getting a custom top for mine. Frame off restoration. So will probably sell the original as it will not match the new color. It is excellent condition.
Will be selling this soft top in about 2 months
Hell, I don't even have a troopie and I want it!
Hi MarkieBoy,
Are you selling the Top & Bows, or just the soft top? If Boulder76 passes on it I'd be interested. I think I have another one in the works, but there is still some question on whether that will work out.... I work in Logistics so shipping wouldn't be very difficult. Let me know when you are ready to put it on the market, if Boulder 76 doesn't snap it up first.
Best,
Abe

Soft Top
I am interested depening on the price and if it is complete. I have checked into having on made to and the price is good. Just waiting on the restoration to be completed.

How much were you quoted. I need to get a new one to match the new color. Looking at Black. I have not yet checked into having one made. I had a bikini top made locally for my 40 and am not very pleased with the way it turned out, or the price.
I am not selling the hard ware. Sorry.

My Troopy is soon to be complete. New soft top being installed.
that's gorgeous, do you have a resto thread on that? Is that the saudi one sold by a guy in UT a year or so ago?
I would start a thread with all details, but er... I am not sure how to do it. Any help with this? I can post many photos. THanks.
Yes this is the same Saudi spec troopy from Utah. See photo with the tan top.
in the 45 owners club forum, not the classifieds, just click "new thread" and tell us all about it. You are limited to 3 images per post unless you buy a star for $20 to help support the site. I think there is an overall limit to how many you can post, also, but I'm not sure about that. At the very least, a few pics of the rig and tell us about all the work you have done or had done. It looks like one for all of us to be jealous of.
