My CJ-2A is still in a state of dissasembly for restoration, and many pieces are still missing or not yet installed in these photos. So these photos do not represent how the final soft top will look when installed on a fully functional CJ. They only show how the various parts go together. Only one side is shown.

Photos link to higher resolution images (800 x 600) in a new window.
