    Half door upper frame question

    Do the same upper frames fit both the factory half doors as well as soft doors? I ask because I'm looking at putting a metal skin on some soft door frames I have and adding bushings so I can attach the uppers. My bottom frames don't have those 3 places for the "pins" on the upper frames. I...

    Control arm design question

    I understand it's generally best to just buy adjustable control arms, that's not what this thread is meant to discuss.

    Anyone used the tonneau cover bimini and wind breaker combo?

    Your new Trektop should come with its own header and door surrounds i believe. No it does not cause a gap at the cuff. Can you post a pic of your tailgate bar?

    Also, do you already have a soft top tailgate bar?

    When I run my Trektop as a safari I leave those straps on and run them through the cuffs on the tonneau that go around the roll bars at the back. Make sense?

    👍 my bad, I misread your post. I have no clue what the difference would be.

    Does the "with hard top" version come with the frame for the soft top as the reason for a higher price?
