If you don't intend to ever put it back on a hard top sells for good money usally. I have seen people pay $800 for them.

I'll take pics and post it on some forums, it's got the bells and whistles (rear defrost, working wiper) and jeez it might even have tinted glass..... been a while since I took a gander at it

jpcamb -
That does look nice. From that pic it looks like it might be a "no-ribs" soft top design using only the roll bars for support - is that true, or does it use some sort of frame?

Aside from the door surronds and header channel its only using the roll bars, no other interanal support. the top came with the jeep and is also convertible to have a half top design with the back seat covered with a tenunu. Took me a few minutes to figure out wth the extra parts were... ;)

(ok, anatomy comments aside,) It looks great, and I bet it folds up pretty small - nice! If I didn't already have a soft top (bestop's regular top) I'd go for one of those... who makes it?
