Default Bestop Soft top kit. 2door WHO has one?

I am wanting to add a soft top to my 2 door jeep and was hoping to find out about this bestop soft top kit that quadratec is offering. It is on sale right now and it appears to come with everything that i would need to install a soft top.

Opinions. Good/BAD? Better than the stock or just as good. Does it look ok and fit well?

Thanks for the help. I read a few forums but no one said anything other than they were buying the replacement skins.

Default Soft Top

To Piginajeep. You right about Bestop making them for MOPAR.
BUT
They are NOT the same quality that is Factory.
Factory Tops are 18 Gauge Canvas Sail Cloth.
Aftermarket is only 10 Gauge.
All Factory hardware is sturdy and good quality.
All after market hardware is thinner and much poorer quality.


There are 2 things to remember .
1. You get what you pay for - if after market sell less than Original there is a reason for it. AND
2. You will remember Quality much longer than the price you paid for it.

Don't know if you've tried keeping an eye on the for sale section of the forum, but I picked up the complete soft top kit for my 2 door for $600 off of there a few months ago. Great deals to be had. All I had to do was meet up with someone and he dropped it off to me.

i figured that reguarding the difference in price but i was hoping that it was not going to be true. Didn't want to pay 2x as much for a soft top.

I will watch the sales section a little closer, just get nervous about buying a soft top used.

thanks again guys.
