    I am starting to build a cage to fit inside my hardtop but also want to make it fit inside a softtop incase I get one someday. I am mostly worried about clearing the middle and back hoops of the softtop. Can someone give me the hieght of the hoops from lip of the body it sits on along with distance back from the windshield they sit. Thanks

    I have a Kayline soft top and the front hoop sits 30.25 inches straight line to the top center of my winshield. I say straight line because it is higher than the point on the winshield I measured from. Probably 30 inches

    The height of the front hoop is 45.75 inches from the floor. It sits above the front part of "pickup bed" part of the tub. Not the lower area between the seats.

    The height at the outside above the lip of the tub is 32.5 inches.

    The height of the rear hoop is 31.25 above the lip of the tub. It is probably an inch highr in the center.

    It was cold and dark outside and I was barefoot with shorts and a t-shirt so if I have time tomorrow I will try and get better measurements for you.

    Just read what I wrote and all measurements are the underside or nearside to point from which I measured.

    By outside I did not mean outside of the top, but staright up from the lip on the side as oppsed to the other measurement which was from the center of the hoop.

    Ok now hopefuly that helped and didn't make it more confusing.
