Title: Jeep Wrangler Soft Top
Post by: Tate1 on December 19, 2010, 08:25:14 PM: Can any body help please. I am looking to get a new soft top fitted on my 1997 Wrangler (TJ). Does anybody know anywhere near Birmingham that can do this? :100:

In addition to the new soft top, I also want to upgrade the interior, seat covers, carpets etc, which is why I was looking for somewhere near Birmingham that could overhaul the car. I found a place in Halifax that seems to do everything but its a bit of a drive from where i live.

the other option is speak to V8 Bubba on here who runs MJS, he could fit your stuff
