Best Soft Top for my 82?

[82Jimmy]

Any ideas? I just rebuilt my engine, and damn that gets expensive, next comes the soft top, then the axles.


Listen to Biggray71 when he says a camshaft is too big, saves money.

Go with Kayline Fast Trac, hands down. They are a great price and are very functional. I love mine. See the Kayline Review on the main page.

i prefer the skyler, as long as you are prepared to lose your back seat on rainy or cold days

Love my Skyler Sof-top, breeze to install, and it looks real sharp

I am looking around right now and i think i am going with the Skyler. I just think it looks cool. That is my .02.

Have you driven OVER a Ford lately?

I sure like the looks of Steves Can Back, that is probably what I'll go with when I buy a soft top.

I really like the can-back also, I should be getting a roff-rack for it in the next few weeks.

Have had good luck with my Skyler. Goes on and off real easy. Has a neat look too. Never leaks or causes problems. No back seat though!

I like the idea of a canback, but I am scared it may leak...then again I am worried about the loss of storage space w/ a skyler. I like the looks of a canback, but a skyler makes the k5 look like a k10 pickup. Thanks for all the help guys.

I'm going with the Kayline next spring. Saving up the $ over ther winter. The Skyler looks sharp, but I like the quick access to the cargo area for my work gear.

I just installed the Kayline soft top. I love it!!

Best of all no more jacking around with electric rear windows!

I just installed mine you can check out the pics at <font color=blue>http://www.toyboxoffroad.com/kayline/kayline.htm</font color=blue> everything went on really easy. I was worried that the top leaking but we had a huge thunder storm today and not a drop.

 

[Thumper]

I still swear by my little custom designed unit. It takes me a whopping 5 mins to put on and even less time to take off, I didnt lose my back seat, and it doesnt look like anyone elses!

Just my .01c worth (canadian dollars)

That looks great!
My dad thinks soft tops make my jimmy less safe, I mean they are not a roll cage, but they are better than an inch of fiberglass right? He also thinks they whistle really badly, I told them no one that I have heard on this board has had a problem.


10 out of 11 people prefer Jimmys over Blazers.

 

[Thumper]

Mine doesnt whistle. leak or flap in the wind... at least not up to around 140 km/h!
And I like not having any holes in the body either.
