what color soft top?
I'm going to order myself a soft top in the next day or two. My only problem now is what color. I'm leaning towards white since the top that's on there now is white (and that's what my wife says looks best!), but I'm open to suggestions. Here's the link to the colors that are available, http://www.thejeep.com/stc/colors.html and pics of my bronco are in my gallery. Any suggestions are appreciated. --Eric

I would probably stick with the white. The only other color I would consider was the red. Is that the same red as your truck? I have a two tone red/white bronco (well, centurion), just like yours, and I dont think I would change colors on mine.

Yeah white's probably what I'll go with. I'm not sure if the red would match or not, and if it's a different shade of red it'd probably be a real eye sore. I just wonder how hard that white will be to keep from getting stained.
On another note, you gotta add some pics to your gallery of the Centurion. I wanted one bad when I picked up my Bronco, but I got too good of a deal not to take it. Still would like to get one though.

Another vote for white.
I think a black top would look good with that shade of red, *if* it was a solid red truck.
Red could also be interesting, if it matched the color of your truck. However, again, the color scheme may not play well with that either. I'd have to see it to know if I liked it.
Ultimately, if it was my truck, and I wasn't interested in a new paint job, I'd go with white.

Cloim, I am gonna back you up on the Black soft top with the solid red Bronc. I saw a HUGE truck on Ebay a while back with that set up... it was nice! So nice I kept a pic of it...
I LOVE the way she looks with the black top. I also love the black wheels!
I have something to shoot for with my bronco... wouldnt mind her looking just like that!

Seeing that your Bronco already has an alternating red and white color scheme i would definitely go with white, but I do agree had your truck been all red black would look tight.

My soft top goes back at an angel instead of going streight. Mine is black but so is the bronco.
I would think white would get dirty easy

I wouldn't think that keeping that white top from staining would be all that hard.......just watch out for PINE TREES and letting stuff like wet leafs on to bake in the sun..... Marine supply stores like West Marine will have cleaners and stuff to keep your top in shape.....good luck with your new top and install...

I got the Spice. It matched the interior perfectly and the blue/tan paint of the Eddie Bauer.
I bought mine from here:
http://www.specialtytopco.com/
I contacted them and they sent a booklet of the actual matherial they use. I didn't even consider the Spice until I got the booklet. If I remember correctly, the white was actually a little off-white and may look yellow next to your paint.

Well thanks for all the good input. I think I'll probably go with the white but since Yosemite brought up the swatches, I think I'll call them in the morning and see if they'll send those to me. I think white's a safe bet though. And the place I'm going to get it from is here:

They are $442.00 plus I think $30 something shipping, which is cheaper than buying from STC and it's an STC top! Go figure. Anyway, when it's installed (hopefully within two weeks or so) I'll post an update and a couple photos. Thanks again for the help! --Eric

Does anybody have the Tonneau cover like this truck.

If so does it require you to drill into the tailgate. If I can gather up some money this summer/fall I was thinking about getting one. But im proabably not going to if it requires you to drill.

I have a black Skyler softtop on my Bronco, but the body color is solid blue. I agree that a white top would look best on the 2-tone red Bronco. (I will put a pic or two of my top and start a new thread on my top.)

Skyler makes that one and requires no drilling...

Problem is... they stopped making them for a while. May be making them now though.
I got the specialty top one b/c it looks just like the hard top, but folds down. I didn't like the Skyler one b/c you can't use the back seat! Might as well get a truck if you're going to do that... but that's my opinion.
