Appreciate the help, pics might be helpful for comparison sake?? here is the back of the soft topI can grab some pictures of my soft top hardware, but that one looks OEM to me. I've never seen an aftermarket soft top that had the windshield channel fixed to the soft top like the OEM tops, just like the one in the picture.
As for the material, others can confirm or deny this, but I'm pretty sure Bestop slaps a logo on the rear window of their tops. Not sure about other brands though.
Assuming it is OEM and in good condition, would $250 be a fair price for soft top & Frame? The owner is holding it for me if I want it.
Considering the cost of an aftermarket soft top alone, not including the hardware (and OEM at that), I thing that's a good price. As long as the stitching is intact, including the velcro stitching, and the zippers aren't buggered up.Assuming it is OEM and in good condition, would $250 be a fair price for soft top & Frame?

Good stuff, will look into this too.I can't really comment on the frame, but with regards to the soft top, you can also check the bottom corners of the vinyl windows. When I got my LJ, it came with a toasted top (thanks, AZ). After cleaning it a bit, I noticed the Bestop branding (pic below). Also, as @Jerry Bransford mentioned, my top had a small cloth tag sewn into it on the top rear passenger side.

I ended up buying a complete soft top afterwards from someone who ordered the dual top option from the factory. The "solvay draka" and other stuff is still there, but not the Bestop branding.
Thanks, it all looks very similar, the only piece that doesn't seem to show up in your pics is this oneMy apologies for the crappy pictures. Digging through storage.View attachment 131950

Yep haha. Those are down a bit deeper and harder to get to for a picture. I can tell you without a doubt that they are identical. Not that it's a huge loss if they don't, but I'd check to see if they have the OE bolts that secure those onto your roll bar's metal tabs.Thanks, it all looks very similar, the only piece that doesn't seem to show up in your pics is this one

No problem. I edited that last reply and added a picture.Cool, thanks a LOT!!
Yes, thanks.....I found this pic from the seller, sure looks like it is OEMNo problem. I edited that last reply and added a picture.
Thanks again for the help, assuming the soft top has a few good years left in it I will probably grab it. Heck, I may only use it for a few months a year anyway.Yep that's them. Awesome
