Title: Bikini Top Question
Post by: Cwkick on January 26, 2005, 11:33:43 AM
As an ex-jeeper I remember everyone saying steel horse stuff is crap, but I am looking for a bikini top for my Tracker.  Found some on ebay at a good price.  As bikini's go are they desent or should I just find a Best top bikini??

ps: anybody have one for sale?

     I just bought one off ebay!  I should have it in a week or so.  I doubt that I'll put it on anytime soon but I'll let ya know how it looks.  I replaced the steel horse full soft top on my '92 about a month ago.  It was on there when I bought it so I don't know how old it was.  Vinyl still in good shape everywhere, but it had shrunk tremendously!  But I've gotten crap from Bestop before too.

Quadratec is too expensive!

Much less expensive places all over the net.

They are a good parts bible though!

I would prefer black.

I have a black Tracker.  The white would make it look like a cop car!

I don't think Heather would give me one of hers.   ;)
Lucky Bob!

I don't know what an OEM one would be worth.  I am guessing if you went to a dealer Zuk/Cheby dealer,  they would nail you on pricing!

Here is what I made from a top with damaged windows.  You could probably get a similiar one on e-bay cheaply.  I like this setup because it covers the back seat but still allows the sunroof to fold back.  Now it just needs to get warm enough that I can use it!

Bob,
What type of Bikini top did Heather give you at Moab last year?

I had a Steelhorse Bikini Top for my YJ.   Number one, it's a Bikini Top.  There really isn't a lot of engineering in it to go bad.  ;D

One thing about the Steelhorse top is it didn't have a plastic strip to plug into the Weather Strip.  Instead it just had a harder edge and you rolled it over.  but it worked fine... we actually ended up using it on my Cousins Zuk with a little modification.

Well, I'm not really sure it's a bikini top...  It says Victoria's Secret on the tag...

Seriously, though, I think it may have been a Steelhorse...  I'm not sure, as I didn't keep the box.  I do NOT think it was a Bestop.  Whatever it was, they were discontinued, weren't they?
