Re: BEWARE of Slick Tops/California Tops
I'll try to make this as simple as possible. Please read ALL the
words.
A CJ-7 is not a Wrangler.
It's not a YJ. It's not a TJ.
It's a CJ-7. A top for a Wrangler won't fit a CJ-7.
.........Am I going too fast?
If you look at the Bestop site, you won't find a halftop for CJ-7's.
If you look at the Slick Tops site, you will find a halftop for
CJ-7's.
"Bestop doesn't make a halftop for a CJ-7. Slick Tops does."
I don't know how I can be any clearer.

I wish I would have bought Bestop when I got my seats. Bestop has the good
quality, judging from the products that I've bought from them so far. It's
not quite OEM quality, but it's tons cheaper. I bought the, then, Steel
Horse seats, which are now sold by Smittybuilt. They ripped fairly easily. I
spent over $800 replacing my seats 2 years ago and now they're ripped in the
seams in a couple of places. I'd suggest you buy Bestop. I've got nothing
but good things to say about their products, and I've bought a few of them
over the years.
