Soft Top question on YJ/CJ tub swap

I've got a 83 CJ with a 95 YJ tub..still has the CJ windshield...pretty sure of that anyway...I had to drill out those plates that attach the windshield to the tub to make it fit...those huge knobs on either side of the windshield wouldn't line up. Anyway....what soft top do I need for this thing??? And in some of the cataloges...they sell two different windshield rails one for the CJ and one for the YJ..with price differences no less. What could possibly be the difference there?!? Allen

The YJ before 91 was closer to the CJ in most respects.

The windshield frame changed for the extra front 'roll' bars then and the engine changed.

The CJ setup should work, but no 'for sures' from me....

I've got a YJ tub on my CJ. It has a CJ windshield and I put on a CJ top from Bestop. Fits fine. The wind shield is different so you need the top to match your windshield. I'm not sure what year YJ body I have, so yours could be different.

The YJ rail that was shipped to me for my `79 CJ had a bend at each end to conform to the radius of the top corners of the windshield frame.

It was also too long and interfered with the snap at each corner of the top where it met the windshield frame. YJ rail had a meeting with Mr. Hacksaw, which solved the problem.
