Hello,
Currently have a detachable hard top on my SJ at the moment. Was wondering where (if possible) the best place would be to find a LWB soft top... Probably Impossible.
If not anyone have any ideas on what would fit on the car?

Hell of a waiting game!
Will see what the company in Australia say about it. Thanks for the post there Darrell. Much appreciated.
If not will have to find something from a land-rover, or a SWB soft top and crack out the sewing machine.

Think I might have found one.
£200.00 posted, brand new and it comes with some poles + other bits, so might need a few parts from a SWB SJ.
This sound reasonable? Cheaper than if I got one made in Australia and imported here.

It depends what its like, from what I've seen those ones from Australia are the dogs danglies with zip up side Windows as well as the rear door which I think is great, I toyed with the idea of sending for a swb one just so I could have the roll up sidewindows, in the end I didn't because it was a lot of money when I already had a perfectly good one already. If I had a lwb I would definatly be importing one. Unless this one is as good.......
And yeah you will need some swb bits like the hoop that props the rear of the hood up, and I don't know if you will need to fit some hood fasteners to the tub

The tub has hood fasteners so that's useful. Will see whats what when it arrives, just have to find somewhere to store the fiber glass roof...
