Awe come on Vince, Tim's not that bad...just keep telling him he makes the best top in the entire universe.

If your looking for a soft-top similiar to California tops, Try Viking Fast Back Softtop, www.vikingoffroad.com.  The design is pretty interesting and seems like the quality is a little better.

In my mind I can see the "twitch" in the eye and the fingers of the "moderators".  Gee... another post/link that voices people's opinion about a product or business that is negative/unflattering.  This is good information that the off-road community can use.  I'm glad its available.  I wonder if it will survive  :?:  :wink:

After reading the discussion threads on this topic, and contacting some individuals who have had first hand negative experiences I have decided not to pursue a purchase from them.

Sometimes it's a lot less hassle and headache to just step up, pay a few extra $$ and deal with a company that will both supply on the date promised, and support you when you have problems with the product.  Sometimes there are advantages to trying to support local business, and sometimes ther are disadvantages.

Thanks for all your input.
