: How much for a CJ soft-top like this?Pic.. ehsankiani 01-26-2002, 02:23 AM Hello ppl.. Just wanted your opinion on the soft-top on this jeep.. And also.. How much would it cost to get it made in the US?? http://ijc.8m.com/rig/mohd2.jpg jp junkie 01-26-2002, 10:36 AM That thing looks like a Sammy/Wrangler hybrid top.:confused: Cutter 01-26-2002, 11:04 AM why:confused: there are some many tops on the market already. What do like about this one?(and pleeez don't say 'the hoop') ehsankiani 01-26-2002, 12:47 PM Oh.. I wanted to know this just to get a rough idea of the difference in Labour and material cost between the US and Pakistan... Someone quoted 2000 dollars for a soft top on a mercedes truck... I was curious.. I only had this pic so I posted a wrangler..:D Well anyone?? PS... I think I posted this in the wrong forum.. It should have been in the general 4x4 section... Sorry jp junkie 01-26-2002, 12:59 PM Supertops are between $349.95 and $600.00 US. Cutter 01-26-2002, 03:01 PM I didn't notice your location:eek: labor is probably cheaper there...the stuff we get is usually made in china anyway:D BTW. I had a bikini top made a few years ago, had some camoflage sail cloth for them to use, I ended up going to a boat shop...they make covers afor boats and had the heavy sewing machines. Cost me $35 but that was a few years ago. Hope this helps:skull: ehsankiani 01-26-2002, 03:20 PM 35 dollars is cool..:) Thanks... What quality was the thing? did it last for long? Cutter 01-26-2002, 03:36 PM They did a pretty good job. Used a very heavy thread on it and metal buckels. A friend has it on his Jeep now, looks just as good as when it was made. The key, I think, is to use heavy duty cloth and hardware. You may not be able to find sail cloth, so try and fine the heaviest canvas you can , and have it sewn with cloth thread, not nylon (and double stitched). If the nylon thread breaks it'll start unravelling the stitching. Take a lok at a military canvas top if you can. ehsankiani 01-26-2002, 04:04 PM thanks Cutter.. Thanks for the advice... aaronlosey 01-26-2002, 07:28 PM that jeep is wrong on so many levels. a guy over at the colorado4x4.org boards just got a custom soft top made for his gwagen (looks pretty much like a square jeep with the top totally cut off) for about 1400$, maybe another 600 on top of that too. so pretty expensive. ehsankiani 01-26-2002, 10:47 PM Originally posted by aaronlosey that jeep is wrong on so many levels.
