Re: BEWARE of Slick Tops/California Tops
Bikini Tops are fun (though I think they should be called "halter
tops"). I've got two. They're not much help in the rain, though.

Re: BEWARE of Slick Tops/California Tops
Did I sound like a ***** when I asked the question? Because you came off
as a ***** with your answer. The Internet etiquette is interesting, you
would never say that to me in person, especially when I am spending my time
trying to answer your questions. No need to get upset with me for slick
tops poor website and poor customer service. Lighten up just a little.
Yeah make sure you type slow so we can all be on the same speed here. I
ask because the bolded all caps description on
http://www.slicktops.com/tops_halftop.php specifies a "'04 -'97". Is there
a page on their site that specifies information for the CJ's and YJ's?
They don't even show a picture that I can find of a CJ with a half top, my
assumption is that since it fits the black and the yellow YJ, then it would
also fit a CJ, but wouldn't you like to deal with a company that gave more
specifics or even a photo of a CJ fit? The only indication I see is that
they display a price, and on the order form you can pick a YJ/CJ option.
Seems to me like they are vague on their CJ info.

Re: BEWARE of Slick Tops/California Tops
Did I sound like a ***** when I asked the question? Because you came off
as a ***** with your answer. The Internet etiquette is interesting, you
would never say that to me in person, especially when I am spending my time
trying to answer your questions. No need to get upset with me for slick
tops poor website and poor customer service. Lighten up just a little.
Yeah make sure you type slow so we can all be on the same speed here. I
ask because the bolded all caps description on
http://www.slicktops.com/tops_halftop.php specifies a "'04 -'97". Is there
a page on their site that specifies information for the CJ's and YJ's?
They don't even show a picture that I can find of a CJ with a half top, my
assumption is that since it fits the black and the yellow YJ, then it would
also fit a CJ, but wouldn't you like to deal with a company that gave more
specifics or even a photo of a CJ fit? The only indication I see is that
they display a price, and on the order form you can pick a YJ/CJ option.
Seems to me like they are vague on their CJ info.
