FS CJ-7 Mopar Soft top

I have a brand new, never installed original-style Mopar soft top for a CJ-7 or early Wrangler. Spice color. Zip out windows. All hardware, fabric parts and instructions included. It's the kind made for full hard doors (rounded corners). Made by Bestop. The only bad thing is the rear curtain retainer is defective. It's twisted slightly. It can be bent straight, but I'm checking on a replacement part from the sellers. I bought this top earlier this year because my wife and kids said they wanted one. A lot of places I ride have low hanging limbs and heavy brush, and I prefer not having to worry about poking things through my top, so I usually run the hard top. I have a bikini top and a safari top for open air fun. I just don't want the full soft top after all. My guess on shipping is $40 or $50 something. The box is about 38 x 44 x 5 inches and probably weighs 30# or so. It'll be coming from SC (29696). I'm asking $475. Shoot me an e-mail if you have questions or want some pictures. TrailMarker.

You need to do a lot better job ID'ing the top.

CJ7's used Witco tops that snap on with roll up windows all around, so did some early YJ's I think. These tops go up in less than 2 minutes in the rain. They also fit both the stock hard and soft CJ7 doors.

Later YJ's changed the top style to rails with zip windows that take about a half hour to put up.

And five hundred bucks US???

Is it sewn with gold thread or something?

It is not the Witco top. It is a Mopar top. It mounts to rails around the back. I can't vouch for the soft doors, but I bet they do also fit. I could pretty easily fit test a set off a buddy's CJ if someone is interested in it. I'll compare his half & half doors to my full hard ones and see. It was advertised to fit CJ-7 & Wrangler with hard doors so that's the way I passed it on. I haven't personally put one of this style up or down, but I seriously doubt it's a 30 minute job if you know what you're doing.

Make an offer.

Yes.

I removed my safari top, removed the bolt-on rail for it, removed my tonno cover, and put up my factory TJ soft top, including extracting the zip-in windows from the window roll, in well under ten minutes this morning in the parking lot at work.

I daresay there's a little bit of exaggeration going on in this thread.

LOL!

I'll bet it still 'feels' like 30 minutes to the poor guys I watch in the pissing rain... ;-)

No doubt those minutes would have felt like hours if it had actually been raining, but luckily it wasn't - yet.

Honestly, I do think that the stock TJ soft top is geting more of a bum rap here than it deserves, though. I have the '02 sailcloth version is that is watertight, as quiet as the hard top, and honestly not that much of a pain to put up and down, especially once one is used to it.
