Wonder if doing a group buy a 30 or 40 of them at once would convince them to make one?

I’ll email him and ask.

Sounds good to me.

Well I have a rampage top on my bronco and a softopper on my Tacoma. I could probably put the softopper on and off ten times before I could get the rampage top back on. Plus the material is more like you’d see on a newer jeep soft top. Although, I haven’t seen the newer diamond material rampage has.

So I sent 'Bob' an email telling him I knew a guy that had a Rampage top on a Bronco and one of their tops on another truck and their top was much higher quality.
Told him if I was going to spend hundred$ on a top I wanted the best quality for the money.
Maybe that will give them a push.

It's thin, nothing like bestop.

Their response to a group buy:

“No...not at this point.

Try back in the spring....but I can't make any promises. With the Rampage one selling for $599.00 or less we can't compete with that..and won't try.

Seen a soft topper up close on a friend of a friend's 89 4 runner. Pretty good material from what I could tell

Their other tops sell for about $300 more, but still less than a BCB top.

darkmagus · Dec 16, 2017

Yeah I will happily pay the same price as their other tops. Hell I paid over $750 for my Tacoma topper. I’m going to email them again and send them a link to the bc top. Just because others make a top cheaper doesn’t mean you can’t make one better.

Excellent point!!

Society needs to get back to thinking like this.

Quality remains long after the cost is forgotten.

Anyone else contact Rampage or Bestop for clear windows? I only tried Rampage and no reply as of yet.

VICTORC · Dec 17, 2017

Clear windows

Wanted clear also. Took my windows to a marine canvas fabricator and they replaced the tinted to clear. Cost $150.00. They did an excellent job.

I have a kayline white top with clear windows. it's been sitting in a box for years and was hardly used. I pulled it out today with thoughts of selling it but one of the side windows has badly yellowed and needs replaced. ?:?

1971lubr · Dec 19, 2017

Just curious, why all the hate for tinted windows?

Bronco4x4 · Dec 19, 2017

I guess personal preference for me. I'm on the east coast and no need to keep the sun out. I also don't like the visibility backing up etc. at night. The most important, I don't like to buy a product I do not want. Why has the clear option dissapeared?

Bronco4x4 · Dec 19, 2017

Galt72 >> no thanks for the used Kayline. I plan to buy new for this project. I am not in dire need at this time and maybe clear windows will be back or Soft Topper will build one. There needs to be options available for this important part of an EB.

I think it's great that the manufacturers offer them for people who have AC. But I don't have AC, so if it's hot I have the top off, and when I have it on I don't want to have to deal with the reduced visibility.

BC has not had these in stock for quite some time. I see they are still out of stock.
