help with replacement top choice

[Sniperx9119]

so i bought my tj without a top(stupid i know) but for 2500bucks who could resist. Well im driving to florida in december and i have a large dog and a wife who hates being cold..so moneys a bit tight and all but i HAVE to buy a soft top before i go home, so what i need is something i can install to stock jeep hardware and comes with upper doors(i ran one of mine over..didnt turn out well) color i dont rlly care about too much, but black would be nice. If anyone out there can show me the cheapest way to do this let me know, thanks.

BTW- I have been looking around locally for used tops but thats a no-go.

The cheapest is to usually find one on craigslist. During the winter months, you'll usually find the out there for cheap as people are looking for hard tops.
Other than that, a new replacement top from bestop is probably your cheapest bet for a quality product... unless they've moved to mexico again. Stay away from bestop's fast back top, I've heard nothing but complaints about fitment and noise.
Viking also makes a really nice fast back top that doesn't require any of the regular soft top hardware.

It's Florida in December.

You won't need the top.

just because it isnt cold...doesnt mean it doesnt rain.

Besttop is the way to fly - either the replaceatop or their supertop (can be got with hardware).
And picking up a used one isn't a bad idea... lots of people switching to hardtop don't see the need in the softtop.
And since you're in Florida, have you thought about putting a bikini top on it to keep the worst of the rain off/out? A safari bikini will cover front and back seats. Although I'd think a driving rainstorm would be unpleasant in that.
