    Unless I'm reading their website incorrectly, you can also get the Supertop. Pricey, comes with it's own hardware and doors. I've never read a bad thing about it, probably as nice as a softop can be. Most folks love 'em.

    The pricey part is the sticking point for me. Other alternatives are being explored.

    The Tigertop is currently the only available - new - soft top option for the CJ6. If the Supertop were available I'd had one yesterday.

    Anybody have any suggestions re a soft half-top? I suppose I could look for a used one as a pattern...

    Who quoted $1000 for a custom top?

    I think you're thinking of Supertop doors, which won''t be easy to get to work with the Tigertop. They use a different latch setup because the top frame around the door opening is completely different.

    FWIW I had the Supertop on my CJ5 and rarely used the doors in their half-door state. I just like the open top / open door route too much. The doors also seal with velcro -- which I try to use sparingly as it will wear out over time.

    This is true. I constantly have my door tops off, and the velcro is getting weak. 'Course, it's been on my DD Jeep for 11 years.
