McNulty's '67 Jeepster Commando fitted with a new Bestop Tigertop soft top.
If the Jeep you drive is a classic or just an old clunker in need of a new top, no doubt Bestop makes a high-quality replacement soft top for it. My '67 Commando is a somewhat obscure vehicle as far as Jeeps go, and when I bought the vehicle people were telling me, "Anything you do to it will have to be custom work."
The people who told me this were somewhat correct because the more I searched for old and new Jeepster parts on the Internet, the more I didn't find them. However, to my utter amazement, I did find that Bestop still makes a brand-spanking-new Tigertop for the Commando. For me this was great news, since the company that shipped the vehicle to me somehow lost the Jeep's original factory hardtop in transit. I immediately ordered the top, and it didn't take long for it to arrive.
Bestop offers tops for all these older vehicles: '41-'49 CJ-2A, MB, WWII; '48-'53 CJ-3A, M38; '53-'64 CJ-3B; '55-'75 CJ-5, M38A1; '76-'83 CJ-5; '55-'81 CJ-6; '76-'86 CJ-7; '76-'86 CJ-8 Scrambler; '67-'73, C101, C104 Jeepster Commando; Toyota FJ40; and early Ford Bronco.
Follow along as I take you through a very quick and simple Tigertop installation.
 The box arrived with the Tigertop and mounting hardware neatly packed inside. Everything you need is included, except of course tools, which should include: a Phillips and flat-blade screwdriver, pliers, center punch, electric drill, 3/32-, 5/32-, and 3/8-inch drill bits, chalk, and a measuring tape. |  I had found that the prior owner had fit the Jeepster with a Tigertop already, so all the mounting holes were predrilled. It was especially easy for me because they had done a very nice job. I started in the back and mounted the bracket for the front and rear bows. |  I assembled the front and rear bows, placed them in their mounting brackets, and pinned them with the supplied clevis pins. The rear bow is larger and needs six snaps installed on it. The kit supplies a nice material cover for each bow. |
 Then, I mounted the left and right window channel pieces using factory top bolts to the top of the windshield frame. |  This is where you would drill your hole for the horizontal rod in the windshield frame. Word to the wise: Always double- and triple-check your measurements before drilling into your Jeep's body. |  This is the horizontal and vertical rod assembled. The horizontal rod will slide through a portion of the Tigertop just above the window opening. |
