Personally i like my factory top. When it requires replacement, i will likely go with another factory one if i can find a good price, or go to Bestop. (Who makes the factory tops anyhow)

I like the design idea of the fastback, but i have NOT seen anyone pull it off very well yet. I am looking forward to the Bestop offering as well, and if i where you, i would wait to see what it is before chosing. Just my 2c.

What about those fast back soft tops, who makes those?

I googled it and found: Off Road Heroes. www . offroadheroes . com

Price seems fairly close the Bestop models.

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.
