soft top with windows removed

[MyOriginal66]

Without going through your build thread, what lift and tire combo is that? Love the look - the safari look is what I'm after too with the top all rolled up.

Well done!

Hey Kyle,

Not my Bronco (See post #24 in this thread).

And as Todd pointed out, it belongs to John Monroe and is possibly one of the most discussed Broncos (or Lubr's) on this forum. Every couple years or so, a thread gets started asking about this Bronco...

And it's the inspiration for my build (notice the similarities in color?).

Not to hijack, but since more than a few have asked about it, here are some links...

John Monroe's Lubr info


Another one...

And more recent... although it just has links to the above threads

With the new top do the window bars need to stay in with the windows out? I usually run my doors without the window frames in.

I'd say they do even w/sides out.. Bestop anyway.

I only pull mine out lay em along the seat so my Rig will fit in the garage.. the Bow height from Bestop , puts it JUST a Tad too high...

Here are a few of the last known pics of Monroe's truck. It was a really cool truck. It's been under reconstruction for the last few years.

Who can guess what top this is?

Here's my "safari look." It's an old "Kayline/STC" top. When it finally bites the dust one day, I hope someone else decides to start making them look like this again. This, plus I want whitewall tires to come back too.

I actually like the cream top on the yellow bronco MAD. Wonder what color would look best when i get around to painting my bronco??? Im gona do the exterior Gecko green, and the interior Crush orange.

Do any of the tops that are currently available roll up like the Kayline did/does? They look great with the windows rolled up, much better than still having the rear corner flaps connected to the back quarter panel/tail gate.

Thanks!

There's a Kayline for sale in the classifieds now... I bought a good condition used one and plan on using the hardware and as a template to have a new canvas top made.

Best of luck making the Kayline style from a template. I'm anxious to see how it turns out, so I hope you remember to share some photos. I love my Kayline but it's getting a little frayed in some places and I'm hoping to get another one made just like it one day.

Not seeing the one for sale...guess it's gone.
I'm looking for a white one w/ roll up's as well.

Looks like the one currently for sale is black, and it has a couple of people interested already asking for shipping quotes. Here's the link:

that's mine, as pictured above, and I need to figure out the shipping.

I suspect a good upholstery shop could duplicate the template, but you would want to check the fit before turning them loose. You would be best off, installing the bad top and let the shop take measurements with it installed to see where to make bits longer or shorter.
