[QUOTE="dodgerammit, post: 441431, member: 21375"] Any YJ soft top is cumbersome compared to the "convertible" aspect of the TJ. I bought a Rampage top since I wanted a gray top (they were the only ones who had it) to round out the correct Islander look. From what I can find (my 1st YJ, so may be wrong), it has a setup like the factory. Many say you can't fold the top down. You can. It's a pain in the @$$. It takes 10 minutes. You need to be patient putting it down/up. There's a specific order to go. You can easily scratch the tub with the framework if you don't watch it. It does stow nicely (with some additional straps securing the 'rolled' section at the tailgate). [IMG]http://undefined[/IMG] There are things I don't like about it. Mainly the snaps that fasten the forward section of the top to the door surrounds. They will pull out of the fabric if you're not careful. Velcro would be a better solution, IMO. If it's not gonna be sunny for multiple days in a row, it stays up. I'll just pop the upper doors off and roll up the back window instead.[ATTACH type="full"]122589[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
