do you know the differences in the 2 tops?
do you own a tape measure to see how much is affected
can you give us these measurements?

it is 3-4 inches further to travel. the prob is in the pictures i see with CJ5 's that have the original best top bikini the length that extends past the rollbar toward rear of jeep varies alot. some look like i will come up short some look like i will be fine. i figure they may stretch a bit and this is the reason for the different lengths. it looks like it may be easier for me just to buy one and return it if i have to....

you need a certain style roll cage for a safari top, most CJs have a roll bar, Bikinis are all they will take.

- FORMER: 1979 Jeep CJ5 w/ stock 304 V8, T-150, Dana 20 transfer case, Dana 30 Front & AMC 20 rear, MC 2100 carb, 31x10.5x15 (8" wheels), no lift (HD leaf pack), Warn 8274 winch, ~99K miles.
I have a 79 CJ5 with the stock roll bar. I put the new Bestop top on about 2 months ago.
My guess is that is long enough, but the seam that helps the top "fit" the bar may not align perfectly. They also stretch quite a bit. I had to tighten the straps during the freeway portion of my latest camping trip to avoid getting my head beaten in the wind.
