have to say i am still tempted but itll be a nightmare and comically expensive to send this back from the UK if it all goes tits!
KUDOS for being guinea pigs tho and giving it a whirl! Cheers Chaps!

What's up with Bestop and the JK? So many of the products coming to market are really cool, until you try and install them. Then they don't function like they should, etc, etc..
Hopefully, now that the Olympics are through, all the kids can get back in the sweatshop that produces things and really concentrate on making better Jeep parts instead of tumbling routines and getting fake passports. lol

lol...i am another who wants this top and soft doors, even though i have a soft top.
but the thing is, has no one else notices this is an EXACT copy of the offroad heroes soft top? seems pretty strange to me. anyways, good idea...ill wait till it works to invest.

Not quite. the ORH has the ability to run with safari top only - no rear or side windows. I dont think that is an option here. also the ORH rolls the top FORWARD.
I think I will wait to see if bestop improves, or else wait for the Viking top. (does anyone know details for release on the Viking???

To save a mod from repeating this same story and this is a condensed version. The company has a shady past of screwing people over for years. They also have made attempts at hiding who they are by renaming several times but having the same ownership. From what I understand they even got kicked off e-Bay. Now that does not mean it does not have it's supporters however the general consensus is they are not a company you want to deal with. It's a damn shame because what they offer looks like it is what I want however witht he track record I don't want to chance it.

but here's our disclaimer anyhow
Public Notice from the Administrator:
WARNING: BUYER BEWARE
The manufacturer of this product is believed to be a Canadian based company called Californiatops. This conclusion was determined by doing research online and by what the author of this post eventually stated in his post here.
Californiatops is a company that has a long history of questionable business practices and they have been banned from eBay and PayPal. This has been documented by the Ripoff Report and can be verified by doing a simple Google search or a search on forums such as JeepsUnlimited.com and RubiconOwners.com. More recently, a member here had purchased a thermal liner from this company while they were still going under the name coloradojeepman and his experience with them can be found here.
I have personally tried contacting this company to acquire a phone number and/or physical address for their stated location in Florida just in case the information I had about them was erroneous and my inquiries were met with hostility and my questions went unanswered. Needless to say, it is our opinion that this company has questionable business practices and would advise against purchasing any of their products.
