HELP!!! YJ Soft Top Nightmare

[phyrph0enix]

So, I found this set of Jeep soft top hardware and now I'm working on the install. I was wondering if someone can ID who made this set of hardware and how the to put it together! If I can ID who made it, I'll be able to figure out which pieces are missing.

Thanks guys!

Ready... Set... GO!

I don't know. I'm confused. You have a CJ and you bought a YJ top? I think that should work. The dimensions are the same. The only difference I know of is how the tailgate opens.
Now your question is asking who made the top. Hard telling from your picture.

It's a 1984 CJ7 , but I put a 1995 YJ tub on it. I'm sticking with the YJ tailgate.

hope this helps...

Now your question is asking who made the top. Hard telling from your picture.

If a different angle would help, let me know!

Thanks guys!

I think dave got it, it looks alot like my cj Beatop supertop frame.

Look at page 10 item 12.... From the looks of your picture it is not like that. I have this top on my CJ and the two main bows connect together like a lower case y and there are index holes that align the two pieces. That one looks like both are mounted to the bracket down below but I may be wrong from the angle though it looks to be different. Look to see if it looks like figure 12 before proceeding. History: My 1995 YJ Wrangler was a hard top Jeep. In 1998 a BesTop supertop was purchased for it with soft upper half doors. Fast forward to 2008; I long since sold the YJ with the hard top and kept the old and now ratty looking supertop to put on my 1985 CJ7 . It fit like it was made for the Jeep with everything aligning perfectly since I have YJ Wrangler half doors on my CJ! I just bought a brand new black denim with clear windows skin for the frame off ebay for $99 shipped to my door. Using new pipe inulation material for the padding on the supertop frame that had rotted away, I installed the new skin and it fit perfectly. Bob's-yer'-uncle! I can take detailed pictures when it's not night time and post a few for you if that would help ya..... RangerRick
