A CJ-7 hard top is about 5' wide and 6.5' long... now you tell us. Worse
case you could flip it over, and have one top edge down in the bed assuming you are not going far. -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, Dana 30 Front.

I wouldn't chance it. The Japanese truckette will quit, and someone
will probably steal the top from it unattended. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ serg wrote: > > thinking about buying a hard top and wanted to know if it's > transportable using a normal pickup truck. thanks for any advice! |

Re: will an 86 cj7 hardtop fit on the back of a nissan frontier truck?
I wish I'd taken a picture. It was actually a TJ top, but the fit in the
bed would be the same effect. I did NOT have it upside down. I tried every which-way, but the position I settled on was with the top right side up, with the front overhang pointed over the driver's side bed rail. Now, the overhang of the top seemed to stick out too far and I didn't want an issue with the DPS, so I propped the back edge up on top of the passenger side bedrail, which pointed the front overhang down and shortened it. It rode perfectly in there with proper tiedowns. I used blankets to keep the straps from rubbing the paint off the top (it was in brand new condition). serg wrote: > thanks man! i'm assuming you had it upside down with one the top sitting on > one of the sides right? that should work. > > "twaldron" <thomas@OBVIOUSrubicons.com> wrote in message > news:rHGPb.10363$yw5.2230@newssvr23.news.prodigy.c om... > >>I did that very thing with my 03 Nissan Frontier longbed.
