I need to get a new soft top. Any suggestions for the following:



1. Where to shop for one.

2. What is the best brand?

3. What is the worst?

4. Is there anywhere I can shop for a used one?



Thanks people!!!

I found the best deal on one for my 97 TJ at www.thinkjeep.com. I got the Bestop supertop. I'm thinking I should have gotten the sailcloth replace-a-top, but to late now. The supertop replaces all you factory hardware with their stuff. The replace-a-top uses your factory hardware. THe factory hardware is much easier to put up and down compared to the supertop.Whatever you do.... don't get a steelhorse top. They don't fit right and fall apart in a short time. If you are looking for used, try E-Bay.[addsig]

What about the California Top tops? The framless one... the frame type???



What about the Bestop Sunrider?



Thanks for the feedback! It is all helpful!

I''ve never hed any experience with the Califrnia tops. I have heard that the sunriders are nice, but tend to leak.[addsig]

I replaced my top with a Pavement Ends. It's pretty much the cheapest priced one around and holds up good. Mine was a little loose when I put it on, but after about a week or two in the hot Texas heat/sun, it's pretty taut now. So far, no tears, leaks. The noise level is about the same as what I had for my factory top so I can't really tell you if it'll help out with that. It used the original factory hardware and came with doorskins to replace the old ones. Although I ordered mine through an accessories store here, I've found that 4WD or Quadratec has about the best prices in the catalogs. I wouldn't buy it from a dealer though cause they'd screw you to the wall!
