As they say,
Quality.... Is like buying oats. If you want nice, clean, fresh oats you most pay a fair price. However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the Horse...
that comes a little cheaper!

Yes,  I had to lengthen my top posts to take the sag out.  You get what you pay for but for the money I was happy with it.

looks like some sag over the driver area.  Is that the case?

Here are a couple pictures.  It fit OK.  I had them use canvas as It is mainly a sun cover..  Lots of velcro. I asked for windows in the doors.   Shipping was fast...less than a week.

How was the fit and finish?  How was the material?  What was the shipping time/cost?  Pics?

I bought one for my CJ3b.  It was an OK top for the money.  You have to state exactly what you want.

It says in the description that you would need to discuss application with them and that the doors would need to be sewn on.  That's probably why the doors look stiff and fit poorly

Not to mention that a 3B top will be an incredibly poor mismatch for a 2A.
 Although not original I do find the Bestop TigerTops be of very good quality. They fit very well if correctly installed in warm to hot weather.

Well considering how bad the pictures show it, it doesn't fit worth a darn.

Has anyone bought one of these soft tops from India?  At less than $500, it might be worth a shot.  My son has come of age and wants to restore the 2a in the backyard.  I'm trying to get my ducks in a row and I knew this would be an issue some day.  That day is here.  I don't want that crappy Bestop tigertop and I don't necessarily want that 10 million dollar 6 piece top from Beachwood.  Id do want doors and side curtains.  Thoughts?
