| Cost - Bestop Supertop Installation |
| |
When I got the Jeep, there was no top on it, just a ripped bikini top and that was
about it. So I opted to go with a new bikini top when I got it, but it always seemed a bit cold with the heater
functioning at like 2% of capacity and me driving the Jeep into November in New England. So, I opted for a soft
top.
After checking around and doing some research, I realized I wanted to go with a Bestop Supertop, so I did a search on
Froogle and I came up with the cheapest price being supplied by
4wheelersupply.
I ordered the top up and it arrived in a few days after the order was placed.
The install is very straightforward and requires some basic hand tools. There actually is a video that comes with it,
but it is quite funny. It doesn't give you much information on the install; only enough information to make you think
it will be a snap to install this. The actors are also bad, but that is beside the point. There are no hidden costs
with this installation, although you could use a second set of hands to help drape the top over the framework once you
get all the stuff in place.

| Conclusions |
| |
The total time should be around 4 hours all said and done. That being said,
I spent a lot of time trying to get the doors and windshield frame to line up just right. This was mostly caused
by it being so cold out when I set out to do this job, but it is what it is.
Also, I didn't have a second pair of hands when doing the initial installation of this. I have since taken it off
and reinstalled it after the paint job was performed, so I was able to see the difference of having someone to help
you install this and it makes a huge difference with that second pair of hands.
