Time to replace the original soft top on my '97 TJ.........is "Bestop" the OEM supplier? Will a Bestop replacement form Essentials be a perfect fit? I need the whole shebang......top and all windows and panels.

Check ebay. I found OEM top and windows last year for my TJ for pretty good prices. All new, never used. Saved a bunch over dealer cost or buying from other vendors.

99 TJ Sport (recently sold) 07 JK RubiconAnother place to look is on the various Jeep forums. Most have a "For Sale" section. Often you can get a good buy on one. If you're a member of a Club, often times vendors offer discounts to club members too.

I just bought a Bestop Soft-top for my CJ-7. Tinted windows, very nice. They make a quality product. You cant buy from the factory. You have to buy from a retailer.
I bought mine from Jeep Top Depot. I never heard of them until I did a search for Bestop soft-tops. They had the best price, plus Bestop is always advertising rebates.

I bought the Pavement Ends Replace-a-Top for mine, got a great price on it. I like it better than both the factory top and the Bestop Replace-a-Top because the stitching around the window zippers isn't so close to the edge if the little flaps. This gives you a little more room to work, and makes it easier to put the windows back in.
