Jeep: BEWARE of Slick Tops/California Tops

That is why Jeepers that know there product only use Bestop.... Since they
are also the Manufacturer for the Originals anyway. Thanks for the info
though. Sometimes we try to cut corners and sometimes it is good but there
are areas that you just do not cut and the top is one of them. Bestop is the
best for appearance durability and reliability. for the TJ's a raplacment
top runs about $500.00 and if you watch 4 wheel parts you can catch a sale
and save another $25 or so.

I know you have a CJ but I would imagin there would not be a large price
diff.

Price is not the issue, and it's not about "cutting corners". Bestop
doesn't make a halftop for a CJ-7. Slick Tops does (or claims they
do). Slick Tops appears to have some pretty cool designs, but the
picture on their website is as close as you'll ever get to one.

Has anyone had problems with Bestop low-back seats? My replacement
low-backs are less than two years old and all the stuffing in the seat
back is heading south. Leaning back I get the metal seat frame in my spine.

I wish I would have bought Bestop when I got my seats. Bestop has the good
quality, judging from the products that I've bought from them so far. It's
not quite OEM quality, but it's tons cheaper. I bought the, then, Steel
Horse seats, which are now sold by Smittybuilt. They ripped fairly easily. I
spent over $800 replacing my seats 2 years ago and now they're ripped in the
seams in a couple of places. I'd suggest you buy Bestop. I've got nothing
but good things to say about their products, and I've bought a few of them
over the years.

My replacement seats _are_ Bestops, and the stuffing is sagging
southward aften less than two years and minimal road miles. I was
wondering if anyone else had had a problem with these seats since their
other stuff is usually so well built.

Have you guys looked into the MasterCraft seats. I have 6 years on mine
and they still look and feel like the day they were new. Much higher
quality then factory!

soft tops? I'm lookign at them for my wrangler but was wonderign about the
quality.
