I’ve been dealing with the soft top issue for a while now. I knew when I bought the Jeep that the top would have to be replaced. It was just cracked and weather worn/rotted from whenever it was installed. I can only assume it was as old as everything else on this TJ.

The zippers were hard to operate and the windows we’re scratched and foggy. The original color scheme of all black didn’t look all that bad, but I decided to go in a little different direction with the top. I opted not to get another black top, but to go for a tan top. At this point the idea of “Black & Tan” was born for the Jeep.

After some research, I decided not to use that particular name. I opted instead to use “Half & Half” for the name of the Jeep. I think that the new tan top really made the TJ pop. I started looking for more ways to balance out the tan and black color scheme, without going over the top. (that was bad…)

I just let the soft top frame settle for a coupel of days. This process would have been a lot easier with some warmer weather. A few hours in the sunshine and that top would have popped right on the first time. As such, it’s still a little on the cool side, so it took a little while. Once the top was snapped down teh windows all went in really easy and the new top is in place!

I really like the new soft top!
