Post by: hobgoblin on February 18, 2006, 01:45:33 AM
Hello All,

I bought a top off E-bay,They said it was a steelhorse..It's a piece of crap. The plastic corner done broke.A lady e-mailed me about her top,She said it blew apart on the freeway!!!The e-bay user name is "Santamonica-deals"so beware of these tops..They are in abox that says made in china...Sould have know better for $75 plus shipping I guess thats what I get.Now I got no top....I like topless but it's cold here in WV now!!!what makes it even better is that I got my two boys 2 and 4 yrs old and my other truck is 20miles away!!

Just thought I'd Tell everybody,

Tom K.

I have a replacement top on My '96 Sammy here in New Zealand thats good quality one and after check it's origin it's from the good old USA  ;D

It's a Robbins Auto top Check them out Hobgoblin http://www.robbinsautotopco.com/homepage.html I don't know how much they are worth as the previous owner had put it on just before I brought it but I can vouch for there quality.

Cheers Mudfkr

That is what is holding my sammy top together right now.

Oh and I hate to advertise my auction on here, but right now I'm selling a bestop in good condition on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8039924574&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT

this is the second time I have listed it, so $75 probably gets it.

Hobgoblin,
this is way off topic but your Avitar says "Jeeps are for Cheerleaders" all I can Think of now is in that movie "Bring It On" the male Chearleader Drives a blue Geo Tracker. I guess he didnt get the memo  :-\

I've also got a Pavement ends top.  Although the material is thinner than the original top I have no real complaints with the top.  It works quite well.  Of course I'd rather have my summer safari top on instead.  That will have to wait until May or June though.

Exactly, and for the $82 I paid for it, shipped... I figured it was a no-brainer... 

That's funny, we have the same paint job, AND the same top.. does your get wet spots when it rains?  I think I am going to wait for mine to dry out real well, and scotchgard weatherproof (like the Tent stuff) the whole top, and double treat the seams...

Mine doesn't leak anywhere,  but it does let a good amount of breeze in over the door bars when going fast.  Get's a bit chilly at times.  Thankfully the Tracker has a great heater.
