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.

Re: FS CJ-7 Mopar Soft top
 

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?

"I have a brand new, never installed original-style Mopar soft top for

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.

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.
