    Any recommendations on a vendor for a soft top for a 65 CJ5? I really would like white to match the Sierra Blue but only find black and tan so far. Thanks folks!!

    Lots of us are wishing for a white soft top, or some of the other original colors like red, light blue, or green.
    I'm going to have a boat top maker sew my tops out of Sunbrella fabric.

    A new top with all the supports and doors is $1000. I'll bet you'll pay double for a boat canvas guy to make one. Settle for the Black or Tan and like it.

    I remember reading somewhere a lady that sews canvas military tops that would probably already have the pattern. Sorry I don't remember the company name but I'm sure a little searching would find it.

    No, but the owner Jpet, is a very active CJ2a.com user. He’s the gent in all Stan’s “Grampa’s Jeep” video’s in a bandana and driving Bam-bam, the highly modified MB.

    He’s good people.

    I am in the same situation, I just got the samples from subrella las week. I think that the best reference regarding sun tells is seamark 100% waterproof ...
    the other option is to use ALPAGA sonnenland best quality ever and very good colors
