Yes that's the one. Can't figure out why they angled the window forward and not back to go along with the door angle but anyway ....

Might be surplus from another vehicle, boat, rv.. cheeper to use somthing made already .. my opinion.

What brand top is yours Jak? Is that an Xtreme Hard Top?

 

[jak inc]

I don't know what brand it is. It has what looks to be a factory CJ-7 lift gate and the top has a factory shape to it. The outside is smooth with no applied texture. The inside is rougher and you can seen the fiberglass texture. That's all I know. Maybe someone else may have some more input.

IIRC, the raised rear section were AJ's tops, and they were thin compared to the ACME and Grizzley. I like that white top that JJ posted....looks like a CJ-7 top as far as lines go.

aj's are thin compared to acmes, sigle wall construction vs. double.

I have one of these tops also. NO idea what brand it is either. how does your fit.

 

[spankrjs]

ACME tops are the best, because that's what came on mine

Here's a few acme top shots from pics saved over the years.

Barrys,

I don't know if you are referring to my fit or not, but here is my take on the OEM looking black top that sits on my Sherwood green metallic base model Scrambler. It fits just ok. I think it sat out in the sun for a bit of its life. So much like old corvette bodies, it has possibly changed shape since it was new. It does keep me warm in the spring and fall, and much drier too. I keep the top off all summer long. When the doors come off (late spring), I also remove the life gate to better he airflow for the kids. No adjustments can be made with my top, unlike my brother's white top. How does yours fit?

 

[barrys]

jak, i was referring to your top. No complaints about mine but it has been sitting in my backyard for 14 ish years and I have not had it a a Jeep yet..... In the next few months I will see if I like this one, my Acme, or my AJ'sfull top and sell the other 2.
