04 hardtop on a 97?

[Kurt_S]

Will a hardtop off an ‘04 fit on my ‘97 Sport that I believe came originally (my vehicle specifically I mean) with a soft top? It has a rear window wiper so I’ll have to wire that which is fine, none of my dash switches over the cigarette lighter are used. Other things I should be aware of or look out for? It’s grey and has ribbing all the way across. Asking $1200, I know new ones are twice or 3x that.

Without a vented tailgate to go with it, the only issue would be the lack of venting which would require a harder slamming of the last door closed.

Some people will warn you about breaking windows when slamming that door. I'm not sure how often that happens, if ever.

Looking at your profile picture you may want to buy some grey paint and get those fender flares to match that top.

It'll fit fine, its latch hooks are just a tad narrower than 2002 and older latch hooks were.

@Jerry Bransford and @JEEPCJTJ Here's the other question I just had... will my half-doors with soft uppers work with the hardtop or do I need full doors?

All TJ door and top combinations work well together.
