    For the price you can't beat our hosts on this one, I just installed the sand soft top w/ rear windows on my 88", Looks great. This picture is before I tightened it up, camera batteries ran out so no after pics yet.

      If you want quality & fit (and any custom features you can think of) and have a significant budget, contact Chris at Badger Coachworks.
      Otherwise, the Exmoor top is probably the way to go.

        Make sure to get the side windows - its very worth it. Mine does not have them and I find it a little challenging to drive without them, not to mention dark.

              I tend to agree that our hosts is much nicer,and after postage might even be cheaper!

              Any suggestions on the frame? Anyone know of any used ones for an 88 available? There is one on the auction site for a D90, which the owner says is only 'an inch or two longer', requiring a little cutting... I was thinking of one that is more of an exact fit.

                  I have a blue canvas Soft top with plastic windows and most of the frame work to install it. I think the canvas has one spot that needs a small pathc but otherwise is in decent condition. I don't think I am going to use the setup and might be persuaded to sell it...pm me if interested and maybe we can work something out.

                    I was thinking of getting a couple bean bags for the tub to match.
