Skyler softtop installed

My Skyler softop is back on after a LONG, COLD Winter!!! I put a pic in my gallery here, more to come in a few days. I will be glad to answer any questions. I do not like the factory hardtop-it's dark blue and gets way too hot in the Summer- but I love the Skyler top. While I normally drive without any cover, it's nice to have when a rain shower comes around. It sure beats the old tarp I used to have!!!

Where did you purchase your soft top?

That soft top is cool. Kind of limits headroom for the backseat though.

You could always paint the factory top a lighter color to help lessen the heat buildup.

I found a slightly-used top on another Ford truck website for about half the price of a new one. Since Skyler is out of business, you can only find a used one on e-bay or other online auto-classifieds.

I have a white hardtop from my 88 parts-Bronco that I will put on later if we go thru a long rainy spell, or if I take a road trip somewhere and need the extra security. It's just alot of trouble to roll the rear window up and down and open the tailgate every time I need something from the back, like a cool beverage from the icechest, and my window motor is stripped out for now.
