Moved to Chit Chat, you'll likely get more replies there. Bestop is generally regarded as the best bang for the buck. What does your budget look like?

I have the Bestop and it is perfect for my needs and fit my budget.

I'd also suggest the Bestop. I installed mine earlier this year and couldn't be happier.

One thing to consider.....if you have a lift and keep your Bronco in the garage....the Bestop will increase it's total height a few inches. I have a 2.5" lift, 1" body lift, and 35" tires and it just barely clears the top of the garage door opening.

The things I don't like about the best top is the middle bow is to high and windows are small. I like the kayline/etc/rampage tops.

Post Re: Need advice on Soft Top
I read everything I could on CB.com about the BesTop and Rampage. The new Rampage Black Denim material is really cool and it is $100 less. I saw Airbur pull the trigger on a BesTop and that swayed me back to BesTop since he researches this stuff more than anyone. When I was finally ready to pull the trigger on a top, I called Wild Horses. After talking to them, I chose the BesTop. Wild Horses did not say one was better than the other, I just asked which one the guys at the shop buy themselves. End of the day, both tops are great. If one was junk, you would see a movement one way or the other - but there is not. It may come down to what ZOSO said - how it looks. My BesTop is less than an inch of hitting my garage door so I cannot get larger 35" tires, so the center bow height and windshield riser are a consideration.

FYI - If ya want tan, I think BC Broncos is doing a limited run of 25 Rampage tops in spice/tan.

My only regret is that 1 week after installing my BesTop, DNewman posted up his new black Canback/BC Bronco top for sale. If he posted it a week earlier, I would have returned my BesTop and bought his CanBack/BC.

Rick, let me know if you decide to sell your Kayline. I seem to be collecting them.
