    Great video!! We just purchased a 93 YJ with hard top installed. The Bestop soft top came with the sale as well.Your video helped us figure out how to install the soft top as we had no instructions from the seller. Thank you for taking the time.

    Really nice YJ! I took my top off and needed a reminder on a few points to put it back on. Your video helped a lot. Well done. And yes, pushing that tightening bar up while lining up the bracket mounting holes can be daunting. Your new top looks great.

    Thank you for the great video! Just bought a used frame wasn’t sure what went where or even if it was a bestop frame. Video helped a lot.

    This is so helpful! You just saved so me much time. I just bought an 87. I’m overseas and trying to find parts when I get State side so it’s hard not physically being there to look at it. Anyway, I’ve been looking for that windshield part for a week or so, just wanted to say you are correct there isn’t much out there on this top but this video was helpful.

    Best Top's 2017 Pavement Ends model, for YJ, with clear rear window seems to be pretty good quality, slightly better than the the older version from '01.
    As a replacement, it went on super easy, I would guess it took 45-1hour with half doors and side windows and rear. Just center it and the rest flows (bend the arms to take it off and leave them that way until you are have the corners clipped in on the rear/bottoms).
    Got mine for $335 with free ship, from ebay or amazon. They have a coating to stop UV degradation, or slow it. Zippers are very slick, easy to start. Went on super easy in 75 degree, cloudy weather, sunny day could be a touch better, but no complaints at all. '90 YJ, stock.

    Great informative video. I too am interested where to go to get the low profile (stainless steal?) bolts you used to attach the tub rails?

    Sense installing your BestTop , does the top shake with the wind 💨 as you drive down the road way or highway

  • @Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors
    @Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors Před 10 měsíci

    You skipped the part i am struggling with haha.
    I have my top clipped at the windshield and buttoned to the back cross bar and i have the windows and 1 corner in but the other side is so far off i was hoping i had messed up some part of the process.
    Back to the drawing board for me i guess.

    I can’t believe the condition of this Jeep my 93 has a 350 Chevy a 5sp and 35’s and I will have to replace sheet metal because of the rust

  • @rodneyhightower741
    @rodneyhightower741 Před 7 lety

    Where did you get those cool stainless bolts that you secure the Supertop body caps with?

  • @slurpyman20
    @slurpyman20 Před 5 lety

    How’s it hold up to rain or snow at the doors particularly around the rounded edge of the top windows? Does it leak thru when driving etc?

  • @ninja63639
    @ninja63639 Před 5 lety

    The screws for the upper windshield corners didnt interfere with the spreader bars sitting flush against the windshield? Mine are. How'd you work that out

  • @christhornton8219
    @christhornton8219 Před 4 lety +1

    Now that you've had it for a couple of years, what is your overall assessment of it? Is it loud on the highway? Does it leak around the doors? I am considering the switch from an OEM YJ top to this one. Any info that you can provide would be much appreciated.

  • @Kghost0311

    I have the factory hardware... does anything still need to be drilled?

  • @shawnr713
    @shawnr713 Před 8 měsíci

    I noticed you have a rail bolted to the top on your tailgate. Is that just for looks to continue the rail line around the back? did your purchase that or use something else to make it?? I ask because I want to do the same to mine.

  • @williamburch1321
    @williamburch1321 Před 3 lety +1

    Hey man. Thanks for the detailed video. I’ve had a rampage soft top for about as long as you’ve had the bestop. I’m not supper pleased with how it’s wearing and just the overall quality of it. I wouldn’t be upgrading any time soon but how is your top holding up? Is it still comparable to new in quality? Thanks 🤙

    • @ZenNiklaus
      @ZenNiklaus Před 3 lety +1

      Bestop lasts for years and years. My last one was 9 years old and still in ok good shape when I reskinned when bored.

    @christineb1242 Před 5 lety +1

    Awesome YJ! Just got the supertop delivered today and ready to replace the factory top on mine that starts removing itself when we get up to highway speed. Where did you get your steering wheel btw - love the look.

    • @Archifx
      @Archifx  Před 5 lety

      Thanks. Wheel is made by Grant. It was on the jeep when I got it. The previous owner picked it up in the late 90’s

  • @vargassaywhat
    @vargassaywhat Před 3 lety

    do you think the top could fit around a custom cage? seems like the top and the poles are higher than the roof line

    • @Archifx
      @Archifx  Před 3 lety

      No. It’ll be too tight

  • @Hadd13

  • @mkp1214
    @mkp1214 Před 5 lety

    I’ve heard best top is the best quality but I don’t like how their rear section looks, like it’s so high

  • @dustinrichards465
    @dustinrichards465 Před 7 lety

    what rear bumper is that? I have the same one just dont know who makes it!

    • @Archifx
      @Archifx  Před 7 lety

      +Dustin Richards don't know. I assumed it was just stock. It's nothing fancy. Just clean and plain haha

    • @dustinrichards465
      @dustinrichards465 Před 7 lety +1

      definitely not stock. ill keep trying to find it! lol nice jeep btw. quality restore.

  • @allenwilson9656
    @allenwilson9656 Před 6 lety

    If you would have left it in the sun for a lil while to heat up it would have stretched on it's on when you installed it

  • @johnridenour2220
    @johnridenour2220 Před 3 lety

    Tell me about those doors

    • @Archifx
      @Archifx  Před 3 lety

      They open and close and keep the wind off of you at cruising speeds.

    • @johnridenour2220
      @johnridenour2220 Před 3 lety

      Did they come stock ? I'm looking for a set of full doors ,but what I've read is that the windshield may need to be adjusted to make them fit. I have a 93 with some half doors.

    • @Archifx
      @Archifx  Před 3 lety

      No, they’re off of an old CJ I believe. I think I had to adjust the windshield a little bit it’s just a couple bolts.

    • @Archifx
      @Archifx  Před 3 lety +1

      I might talk about them in this video. Check to see. Maybe I do... I seriously can’t remember. czcams.com/video/P6rANS7te-k/video.html

    So can you please tell how to start from either the front or the back? You missed so much in this video! If I was paying for this I would demand a refund! This is crap!

    • @Archifx
      @Archifx  Před 3 lety

      I didn’t miss anything in my video. What specifically are you trying to do?
