Title: trackkick soft top question 98 vs 94 models
Post by: dwcrisp on January 02, 2005, 02:26:43 PM: I have a 98 soft top Tracker with the zip side windows. would a 94 or older top fit the top frame on my truck?

Is it the same type of hardware for the top frame?

Do the side windows on the older ones roll up or open in some way?

Just examining a way to do away with the pain in the arse side zip system on my model, but want to have opening side windows and the older style is half the price of the newer.

side windows don't remove, only the
back, there are also 2 different mounting
systems, but I'm not sure what year the
new style started in.

The way the top attaches to the front bow is slightly different also. And as Wildgoody said, the side windows don't come out at all on the pre '95 tops. I think you might could take an older model top to an upholstery shop and have it customized to fit the newer model, but not positive.

You can replace the mounting hardware from a 94 on your 98 and then put the top on.

Post by: SnoFalls on January 03, 2005, 04:35:57 AM: I have my softtop mounting bits if your interested (from a 91). Shipping might be a pain due to the size of the bows, but I'd take $20 plus shipping.
