We have had torrential rain here in FL which has only exacerbated the leaks in our 99 tracker convert top
although the convert top is relatively new, copilot is not happy with plastic window visibility and noise
We bought it as a toad but it has become a daily driver with the Sullen Teenager driving the Volvo now
Looking into hard tops for it and only see 2 brands availible
Looking for opinions from those who have done the swap

Chris, I've done two hardtops, one for my Tracker when I had it and now one
for my JEEP LJ. I used Rally Tops here in LA. Good quality, excellent
windows and lifts, They fit really well. No leaks.

Thanks,

Best looking one I could find. Still doing well after 14 years.

You can chase hardtops on Craig's List. They do show up occasionally.

Bdub, that one costs significantly more. Is the cost difference justified?
I have jeep friend who are happy withe Rally top

Some questions: Is it def a two person lift?
How long does the installation take?
Does anyone make a tonneau for the back if caught out in a storm?
Looking at roof rack also to carry a canoe along= anyone done this?

I have been searching CL...only found early model tops

Worth it to me. It only takes a few minutes to install. Don't know about
a tonneau.

The site for this one states it goes on "over the existing hardware in 5 min"
Does that mean the other top is still usable? Or can be rapidly reinstalled?

I'd say rapidly reinstalled. It all as to come off.
