Soft top options
« on: April 25, 2007, 08:19:50 PM »
Ok, I have been looking up and down the internet for a soft top for my Blazer.  It seems that Bestop is the only one making them currently.   ???  Is this correct?  I really do not like the Bestop top as there is simply way too much drilling to be done for my taste.   :o  I hate to think of all of those holes being added to my truck.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?  I did see a top by Skyler, but it does not allow use of the rear seat, and having the rear seat usable is vital.

I've had the Skyler top and you can still use the backseat if the top is off. I found that if it rained leaving the seat up helped the water run off better. I've also had the bestop (which was junk) The last one I bought was STC but I believe they are out of business. So what is it you want a full can back?

Here's a fast back  ( I think these look stupid )

Bestop is probably the most popular but you could also have one custom made.

Yeah, I like the no drilling of the Skyler, but I would like a top where I can use the back seat while the top is on the truck.  The Bestop top simply is out with all of the drilling.  The STC or the Kayline seemed to be pretty good, but they are defunct now.

I've decided to make my own soft top for my 75. When I get to that stage I will do a nice detailed build of the project. I haven't seen a decent looking affordable top since Skyler.

I've been looking for a soft top too, but instead decided to build pads on the forks of the company Bobcat, so that i can remove the top within 20 minutes if i need too. Still a nice set of attractive options though, i may have to look into some of these one day.
