I Bit The Bullet
Well,I finally did it. I just ordered a Softopper for my '85 Jimmy. Money has been tight for longer than I care to say. I am about to put it on the road after owning it nearly a year. I have only driven it home where it has sat. I bought this thing for a fun-to-drive rig and,by gummit,this soft top will really make it what I want. I had a '90 I bought new and a few years ago,because of money being so tight,I ended up selling it. Before I made that decision I had finally ordered a soft top from Specialty Top Company. Wouldn't it be just my luck,as hard as money money had gotten to come by,that I got burned by them pocketing my money and going under. Thanks a lot you red handed thief!
Plans are to take the 4" EZ-Rides,3/4t 4.10 axles,35" MTRs,4L80E,speedo,tilt column,and sport wheel from my '91 Suburban and install on the Jimmy. I had a soft top on a '71 Blazer back in the '80s and that just made it so much cooler. I've wanted another ever since. My '90 was the family car so the hard top stayed put. I never even removed it once. I was going to do all this to the '90,so now a few years later I'll have the rig I wanted. I can't wait! I need to get up under that Suburban and start pullin' stuff.so I can enjoy this thing this summer.
