Soft Top

[Bronco89XLT]

I am thinking of buying this top.

1. Anyone know about this company?

2. or it's products?

3. How's the quality?

4. How's the fit?

Looks pretty simple to make......thay would have to work at screwing it up..! <_<

My guess though is, it will puff up, or worse, flutter at speed as there are no long./lat. bracing. :huh:

That's what I was thinking. My plans are to add a roll cage to the truckthat will fit in both the hard top and the soft top. The rear "kicker" bars will have pretty close to the same angle as the soft top has.

have you seen the covers at broncograveyard.com

Keep in mind you will have HUGE blindspots....

I have a custom made slant back top , that untill this yr had no" lateral bracing". Never had a problem with it , make sure all the fasteners are done up. Mine has no windows & does have a blind spot, thats what mirrors are for.

pics of it are in 79 general discussion, sunday fun in the rain, I do now have my roll cage under it,which keeps it really tight.

Bronco89XLT, I think the quality of that soft top is very godd. I have tlked to a few folks that have that version, and it is durable as well as leakproof. HTe blindspot along the sides is an issue, but can be overcome somewhat with the side-mirrors like posted. I have a Skyler fastback top for my 84 Bronco, and the Kayline fastbaqck top for my 86 Bronco. I prefer the Skyler top for it's mounting brackets and Velcro, but the Kaylinr or Soft-tops style that use snaps is O.K. You may find that the snaps can rip out after awhile and need replacing.

I also have the S&W 10-pt rollcage kit in my 84 Bronco, and can see your concern about the rear support braces for the cage interfereing with the softtop. My solution is to modify the cage with removeable clamping collars, so that I can use the Skyler top while not racing. The Softtops version or a safari-style top that looks like a direct replacement for the factory hardtop is the best solution for a permanent /full cage in the rear of the Bronco.

Thanks!! I am not concerned about the blind spots, the top will be off 90% of the time while driving anyway. As for the JBG tops, I never like the "pickup" style top, and the full top is just out of my price range.

As for the cage, it will be some time before I get it done, my main concern is getting the body work finished!

Thanks for all the replies!!!!
