Bestop 5254001 Traditional Bikini Tops For Toyota Land Cruiser Fj 40 1964 1984 Black

Great fit and does what it is supposed to. Keeps the sun off my head

I made this fit my M715 Jeep with minor modifications to the straps and the addition of a rear hoop that i had fabricated. The top is top notch quality imitation leather type material.

Final Update: Return was easy and refund was quick. The new top ordered direct from Bestop fits great, and feels sturdier than the Bronco one. Straps still seem like they won’t last. But install was fast and easy, and top looks great. I’d go with 4 stars if Amazon had sent the right one to begin with. Update: Amazon sent the wrong Top. I ordered the proper top direct from Bestop and am returning this one. I’ll update when I receive the new one. Original: As others have said, the tie-down straps wont last very long. They're already fraying after driving with it 3 times. The lip that tucks into the front channel isn't made of anything rigid like plastic - its simply thick fabric, and doesn't stay in place. When driving over 20 mph, it slips out of the channel, so I have to stop and remove the top. It is also 2 inches too wide in front...so the ends of the lip arent even inside the channel. My 1973 Toyota Landcruiser has a Bestop soft top, so I (wrongly?) assumed their bikini top would be compatible with their channel. Amazon states this is the top for my vehicle, so ,maybe that wasnt accurate. I am waiting on a call back from support; if its the wrong top, or I'm doing something wrong, I will update my review.

I had the windshield strip from my old full soft top. This bikini top was out of the box and on my Landcruiser in minutes. Make sure to tighten the straps a couple of times over the first week or two. The top and the straps will stretch a bit.

The first Bestop bikini top I purchased for my '73 Land Cruiser lasted many years, probably around eight or ten. When it finally wore out, I purchased another one in 2021, for $79. When it arrived I was dismayed to see that it had plastic buckles on the straps instead of the metal ones that were on the older top. I was also annoyed to see the hideous non-removable warning label silkscreened on the underside. But worst of all, this top did not even survive three summers before the strap broke. I have to assume that it was due to poor material selection (lack of UV resistance). The strap is an integral part of the top, and can't be easily replaced. The warranty was only for a year. And now the price of a new top is up to $115! I cannot recommend this top, which is sad for me because Bestop used to sell quality products. If you already have one of these, I recommend finding a way to wrap or cover the straps to protect them from the sun.
