    Frickin' awesome video!! Had the old top off and new on in three hours; very lucky that the Wrangler in video was exact year/model of mine. Great job...now I can see out of my rear/side windows which were shot. And hopefully no more leaky roof with winter rains.

    I just used your video to replace the top on my TJ. Thanks for taking your time making this video. Things become simplified when watching another perform tasks. Takes the guesswork out. :)

    I watched this a couple years ago and I'm back again! I got a cheap replacement and the windows melted... oh well. Was nice for 2 years and was cheap. So here I go again. Love this vid for my 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport.

    I know its a couple of years old but damned nice video. I just bought a best top oem style frame and hardware then when I was looking at the oem tops I saw the sailor top that was much heavier than the stock one from Sierra. So Im taking the hard top off this weekend and swapping in the soft top framework and top. Thank you for the very clear instructions and recommendation for adult beverages lol

    Wow!! And to think I was going to hire someone to install my new top!! I can do this!! I know it's gonna be hard, and I'll prolly sweat 10lbs off... lol but I know I can do this.. (With the help of my dad) 😊. May I ask what too this is??

    Watching this in Feb 2021, brilliant vid! Thanks so much. Has your top lasted ok?

    • @daveinreallife
      @daveinreallife  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It lasted about 3 1/2 years before needing to be replaced again. Skins are fairly cheap so its worth a change that often

      @@daveinreallife Thanks very much for the lightening fast reply; we are driving a '06 TJ on the original soft top, it has done well but here in the UK it rains a lot and has started to leak. Time to get a new one and these Sierra Offroad ones are very reasonably priced, if we get three years out of one I'd be delighted! Thanks again and all the best; those tips you gave on putting it on will be super useful. Much appreciated.

      @@luiszepeda475 well, it was a decent top, but a budget top. I got 3 years out of it before I put a best top on it. It was only about $280 so I guess you get what you pay for.

    how is the top and the zippers holding up?

    • @daveinreallife
      @daveinreallife  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +justin cunningham They are doing just fine to my surprise. I expected the top to be a bit more quieter than it is considering the thickness of the fabric is better. I have not had any issues with the zippers so far. Ive had a mild summer where I live so I probably wont see the "true colors" of the durability until next year. Thanks for watching!
