All tops are custom made to your rollcage! Many color, material, and style options available and prices do vary. If you need a quote, shoot me a pic of your cage and we can talk about it. Thanks!

Looking for something to cover the back "x" part of the cage over the rear seat. Size is roughly 4'x4'. Waterproof/resistant material in a dark tan (I think Jeep calls it spice). Is this something you can do without having the rig?
XSTRAPS 04-17-2009, 11:16 AM fireLT- PM Sent! Thanks!
jmhinescj 04-17-2009, 12:53 PM Awsome product. I'm not to the point where I'm ready to order something like that but can you give me a ballpark idea what something like the one on the first pic might set me back?
XSTRAPS 04-18-2009, 05:49 PM Jmhinescj- PM Sent. Thanks!
ibrocun 04-18-2009, 07:47 PM Another request for a ballpark number. I currently have a Bestop bikini over the stock TJ cage with the Poison Spyder trail cage in the front, and optional spreader bar in the rear. I've always wanted to drop the windshield on the trail, but since the Bestop hooks into it, I can't. What kind of $ are we talking to do a bikini that would run from the front PS bar to the rear?
XSTRAPS 04-19-2009, 08:31 AM Hey ibrocun- Thanks for the interest! A custom top for your rig would run about $250. That will give you choice of material, color, and trim. Your top would have some pockets sewn in it to keep it nice and tight when cruising down the road and would have the new style snap attachment where we sew an additional layer onto the top to cover the heads of the snaps so that when it is on the rig you see nothing that shows where it is attached. Super clean looking. The best part of all, you can fold down the windshield! Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks again, Ryan
XSTRAPS 04-19-2009, 08:32 AM Hey Everyone- One more thing, to do these tops, I have to have the rig at my place in Woodland (95695) and they take about 6-8 hours to complete. Thanks again.
FAO4WD 04-19-2009, 01:42 PM Quote on one for this.
Any trades?
XSTRAPS 04-19-2009, 09:49 PM fao4wd- To cover that with a custom top would be $260 with your choice of materials and colors and would include the anti-flap center attachment and the hide the snap edge piece. Trades???? I need two Dana 60 35 spline stub shafts with greasable u joints or a pair of 35 spline Warn hubs and the greasable u joints. Let me know what you think and I hope to see ya. Sorry this is short, I am at work....Ryan
mtaylo21 04-20-2009, 05:51 AM Quote for my Bronco cage? It sucks that I'm in Indiana....I assume I would just take dimensions? Whats the lead time?
mtaylo21 04-20-2009, 05:54 AM Ever made complete soft tops?
mtaylo21 04-20-2009, 12:16 PM Damn, didn't see it has to be in cali.....SUCK.....nevermind :(
XSTRAPS 04-20-2009, 10:32 PM Hey mtaylo21- Nice Bronco! But, yeah, got have the rig (or at least the cage) in my hands.....Thanks!
Brentmckinsey 04-22-2009, 11:35 PM 2 ball parks.
CJ 5, and a CJ 7. I am here in Woodland most of the time. Where are you up here? I live by Cleveland and West.
XSTRAPS 04-22-2009, 11:59 PM Hey Brent- I need a bit more info on the cages. Are they stock style cages with the front hoops added? Do they have any gussets or small kicker bars? Any center bars? Rough ballparks for those would be between 200 to 250 depending on the variables mentioned above. I live near Beamer school and I am actual started my top for my Jeep today and plan on finishing it tomorrow. When I get it done I will post some pics and if you want you can come and check it out in person. Thanks, Ryan
XSTRAPS 04-23-2009, 09:44 AM Finished up my top today for the jeep....

Remember, these tops allow you to lay your window down and still have shade!
Different colors and materials are available. Plans are to make a top out of 90% mesh asap and I will post pics of that too!
Of course, contact me if you are in the Sacramento area and are interested or have any questions! Thanks!
lostj 04-23-2009, 11:24 AM nice tops
jeeprolet 04-23-2009, 12:34 PM Damn those tops look good... is that something where i could set up an appointment for like a friday and have it back same day to wheel the area that weekend? the canvas shop near me wants about 800 for the same thing you're making
XSTRAPS 04-23-2009, 03:30 PM Jeeprolet- I am sure we could schedule something like that. Sometimes trying to get everyones schedules, the moon, and the sun all to line up gets a bit tricky but I can work with you. Took me about 6 hours from start to finish on mine with the cage being super simple. More complex cages will take a bit longer, but still a one day deal. Let me know when you are ready! Ryan
LostJ- Thanks alot!
XSTRAPS 04-27-2009, 06:19 AM Went for a little Sunday cruise yesterday to put some miles on the jeep and check out the top after getting it done. It was great. The top is nice and quiet and does not flap at highway speeds. Stayed cool and out of the sun and still had the chance to flop the windshield down and be in the shade. A HOT nor cal summer is around the corner....
MO_4RUNNER 04-27-2009, 08:40 PM Awesome product, just wish you weren't across the country. Can't find a shop locally to make me a top now that my jeep is dovetailed.
blwngsket 04-29-2009, 07:17 PM Price for this cage. Also, the price for a windjammer for the B Pillar behind the seats.
Thx
XSTRAPS 04-29-2009, 07:56 PM blwngsket- Thanks for checking my tops out! A custom top for that cage would be $280.00 (price is up a bit because of the shape on the back portion of the cage and the number of gusset bars on the cage) and for the windjammer I would need to see it in person but we would be in the $125.00 range. Remember I can do the tops with the cage only, so you could drop if off and pick it up a day or two later with it all finished! Let me know if you are interested in moving forward. Thanks, Ryan

NINE DAYS.............Amen Brother!
Mjjeeps 05-08-2009, 10:17 PM any idea what this would run. Also do you make complete custom soft tops?
XSTRAPS 05-10-2009, 12:43 PM MJJEEPS-I only do the bikini tops and for one of that size it would be around $275-300. That thing looks like a party wagon, nice!
payless4x 05-11-2009, 11:16 AM any idea what this would run. Also do you make complete custom soft tops?
nice mogg!!!:grinpimp:
sorry off topic
you look like you do nice work, do you ever do a graphics or text in the tops?
John
Broncrick 05-12-2009, 08:25 AM I'll be contacting you soon for a family top, and a bump for ya :smokin:
Rick-
XSTRAPS 05-12-2009, 01:15 PM payless4x- In regards to do doing graphics or text in the tops, there is some stuff we can do, and some we can not. We can use different color materials to do racing stripes to match a rig, or we can do single color graphics, letters, or numbers. They are a little tricker and take longer to do, but possible. Thanks for asking. Ryan
snook 05-12-2009, 01:57 PM ryan!!! whats up brotha!

XSTRAPS 05-19-2009, 07:53 PM Nor Cal crew.....you know it is getting hot! Get some shade now while it is cheap! Thanks guys! Ryan
