All I can think to offer is...LUCK.

...and welcome to the board.

Welcome to the board and postin' this up. Everyone who reads this has got to click the link and fill out the form. They are going to produce the early Bronco so why not the Blazer. Fill out the form, it shows them how much interest. Be sure to click purchasing or starting a group buy. The more interest we show the better chance of getting a cool new soft top produced. Its got some sweet options too. The roof rack would be sweet. Take a look at the Bronco prototype. This top look like its above and beyond the previous tops I've seen.

Yeah but its 4 times any other top that was made, literally. Its got a nice big structure for the top to go over and I dig the way you can roll up the side windows. I just got off the phone with them. They said this top will go into production towards Christmas 09'. The dude said they get a couple 1st gen Blazer calls a week. They are stretching canvas over the structure they just completed for the 2nd gens right now.

This all sounds awesome. And next christmas is good news, enough time to save up. I don't know if I'd even put the hardtop back on if the softtop is that high quality. has anyone ever had issues getting the older besttop over their existing roll bars/cages?

I hate to say it guys, but we've been hearing about the can-back production story for a while. They're always supposed to be starting "soon". If they do, great! If not, well.....

Big J · 01-14-2009, 08:51 PM

Yeah I know but they're under new ownership or something. We can always hope

JackedJimmy · 01-15-2009, 12:06 AM

Those pictures of the ones they're makin now look great. they should get some advertising in some of the 4x mags or something, or they could be too swamped as of right now till they get bigger...I hope the best though. shoot a letter to petersons 4 wheel and offroad could stir something up with can-back after they look into it.

I really like the prototype top for the first gen Bronco - they always make top notch tops and bed covers. I'm not in the market for one but I added my name to the contact list.

cstanley · 01-31-2009, 02:01 AM

yeah, i just signed up again... once a year seems non-belligerent.
