Since bestop can’t or won’t make what the public wants heck I should sew and make one myself. Unbelievable!It's pretty much a one company town in terms of Bronco soft tops unfortunately. I miss the days back when I had a selection of aftermarket tops available in various styles and features for my CJs.
I've got a big roll of vinyl covered fabric, acquired years ago from a friend who was getting rid of it. And way back in middle school I got an A in sewing class, lol. I'm thinking of making my own bikini top, and if I can find out how to attach clear windows, might have a go at a non-fastback 2-door soft top.
Also patiently waiting for @Bestop_Team to release a proper 2 door soft top.
Yep. A company that doesn’t listen to its customers or potential customers is a problem. I don’t mind a fast back. What I do mind is that it doesn’t fold all the way back and sticks up top like a crunched sock.
Do you have a name I can drop ! Plus how much did you pay?
I don’t get anything/reference or anything lol but my name is Paul. So maybe they will hook me up 🤷🏻
how hard is it in your opinion to swap the soft top for the hard top? I’ll be needing to do this summer and winter…so 2x a year…I just put mine back on after being in the hardtop for 5 months. Still as good as new. Should be on for the entire summer, unless my boss tells me to get the hard top out of the shop
Once the rain is no longer a threat on weekends here in SoCal, windows come off. For the price it was before Real Truck bought them, its well worth it. Cant compare it to the Bestop as I have not seen one in person, but it looks a heck of a lot better (obvious personal opinion). My rivnuts fit just fine. No real issues if you need to slightly enlarge the hole, just get to the right size and slap a little touch up paint.
Love it. But mine will be promptly returned if the rivet nuts don’t fit. I will absolutely not drill even a small amount into my brand new sheet metal. I’d rather live without. I’m hoping that it fits…I just put mine back on after being in the hardtop for 5 months. Still as good as new.

Hard top is less than 5 minutes to remove or install, even the first time. Rampage is probably less than 15 minutes to remove once its all set up, less than 30 to install subsequently. All the brackets for the Rampage need to be removed if you want to put the hardtop on, 2 factory brackets needs to be removed to install the Rampage (2 door anyway). I use all but 4 factory bolts to install the Rampage. I dont doubt the quality of the supplied hardware, but using the factory TP bolts is just preferred for me.
