Title: Soft Top
Post by: GTEEO on March 19, 2022, 07:33:54 PM
I have a 56 CJ3B and want to put a soft top on it. Is the Bestop Tigertop the only one available? Looking for a vinyl top. Any issues with these? Any tips? Thanks, Eric.

As far as I know, that's it - for a full top.  It comes with all the hardware, so theoretically, you shouldn't need to purchase anything else - if I understand their writeups.  There is another supplier for bikini tops that was posted here a while back:

If you had original bows, you'd have a few options on canvas top vendors but they're not as easy to put up/take down, i.e. convertible.  I will mention that I've read about tops being made overseas (India, I think) but I think it's best to deal with a company state-side in case you have issues.

others are avl if you like vinyl, but as a second choice i like beach wood canvas it will be more costly
