I've got a mesh top coming from them. Everyone raves about the mesh top, so I'm guessing their quality all around is pretty good. I don't care tons for the look of their netting, but if you do, they seem to get high marks on quality. I'll know more soon on the quality front.

And of course, there's the Nack, by COP 4x4.

Their gear looks cool, I especially like the dog barriers.

grommets, grommets, and MORE grommets.
If the grommets don't both you, then it looks nice.

The Cop4x4 seems to be a better and I am sure stronger & More durable quality. Sewn will be strong and hold up with the changing of weather.

Well for the most part gromets are brass so weather won't be a factor. And Gromets are plenty strong. Actually it all depends if they burned the holes before they put the gromets in. If they never i give it 2 - 3 months before it all falls apart. As far as i'm concerned $200.00 is still expensive for something like that. Nice looking though.

Good find!
Hold Off on the Smitty Bilt until you see the material. I was just at a large Jeep show at the Ontario Convention Ctr-Southern California, and the Smitty Built Netting is "JUST" vinyl top material and the cut edges of the strips are terrible and looks like it will frey. Listening to other, the concerns were addressed to the Smitty Built (4WheelParts) group. It all comes down to quality, durability and years of use and you should take another look.

Just got mine installed. Happy with the quality. I had a fit issue because of the deck i installed but that was on me and was able to make a fix.

Early observations are positive, quiet on the highway, sturdy construction, grommets black and well secured, hell has already saved a hat and t-shirt.

Yea I realize I cannot stand on it and it will not hold up the world, but for me it will do what I am looking for for the price I paid. Sales was easy to deal with and the unit shipped within two days of order.

Spoke to the owner about becoming an authorized vendor. Gave him link to the site and told him the best way to sell was to join.

couple pics attached.







Will take more shots when the rain stops and I take the whole top off.
