Default !!!!!!!Possible New Soft Top (Need Ur Help)!!

I've been talking with a company in california that makes convertable tops about making a soft top for the commandos (heartz stayfast material and color options). They make tops for the jeepster verts but he talks like it wouldn't be much to make the full soft tops being they already have the equipment, just doing the research. Spread the word and email vic at customerservice@topsonline.com . He's needing all the info and specs he can get, not to mention the more they feel there's a need for them the sooner we may see something. He thinks they could keep the price reasonable.

It would be nice if another company would start making some soft tops.

If you would like I can pass on the information on other forums.

Sounds good !
I kinda worry too that if best top quits making theirs, then what?
I wouldn't mind a hard top but I can't seem to find one.

The hard tops are around just hard to find in nice shape. Best way is to just watch craigslist and the Jeepster for sale forums, people are getting rid of them and going to soft tops. I just picked one up locally around a month ago, to replace my rusted out original one.

For something that size might be cheaper to pick it up yourself, just out time and gas. I've heard of some people using the train to ship axles and they say its cheap. Just need to put it on a pallet or something so it can be moved with a forklift.

Might end up being easier and cheaper to wait for one more nearby that you could inspect and pick up.
