Hey everyone, have a second hand aftermarket hard top, and the top two manufacturers Rallytop and Bulldawg Mfg have given information that leads me to believe this wasn’t made by either. Looking to see if anyone has knowledge on the subject, as I am searching for replacement parts. I also suspect this was made for pre 03 TJ as it doesn’t quite fit my 05. Thanks for your time and thoughts on this. Will try to add better pictures tomorrow.

I suspect the problem is, you are trying to put a Tennessee top on an Alabama Jeep.

That's just not going to work. The ghost of Bear Bryant isn't going to allow it to fit properly.

In all honesty I really have no clue how to help you.

I have an American Fastback aftermarket top. Looks pretty close sans the latches. There's a big plate in the back corner with a manufacturer tag.

Thanks for your reply Mac, if you get a moment, would you mind sharing a picture of your top?

Definitely looks like a bulldawg top. May be for a YJ if it doesn’t fit quite right. TJ tops are a universal fit for all TJ models.

I lean most towards it being a Bulldawg, but I sent the pictures to their customer service and they said certain elements such as it being carpeted and the style of sunroof is wrong. Perhaps it is just a very early iteration of their top, or it has been adultered. I did find a hard top on Marketplace that had the same sunroof (same lever) but they couldn’t identify the brand either.

Someone could have added carpeting and an aftermarket sunroof kit 🤷‍♂️.

What replacement parts are you in search of?
