Have you thought about going with a soft top and having an upholstery shop work up a tan top? Tried contacting Bestop about a tan top? I have seen an OD Green top on a 2-door here locally on a green Jeep that is going for a military look. From what I could tell as I drove by, it looked nice but I didn't get a close up view of the overall quality. Not sure but I like the fact you have a set theme that your trying to achieve. Good luck with it.
I like this route also. And then you would have to do the soft leather doors. total golden eagleOriginally Posted by WhiteRavenRR
The only shop that would make one for me that I have found, wanted nearly $2000 to do the work. Seemed a bit crazy to me. Maybe I should shop around more seriously because this is probably the best route for a real oem-quality top.
I have called Bestop - they don't make brown and do not intend to make brown. Sad because they make them every day for 2006 and older jeeps.
Even if you were able to source the material and supply it to them?
Yes. $2000 was the "low estimate" for building a top to fit an existing jeep frame. That meant that they sacrificed an already existing top and copied each piece. They used the OEM or bestop windows in their aftermarket copy.
If anyone has/finds/sees a cheap 2 door soft top complete (e.g. Craigslist), do let me know. I play to try to get a soft top on and see if it will accept plasti-dip. Some testing we did showed it worked pretty well on some canvas-type materials under hot/cold/folded/stretched conditions.
