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?!?

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....

Re: Soft Top question on YJ/CJ tub swap
 

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.
