Bestop 5254001 Black Traditional Bikini Top for 1964-1984 Toyota Land Cruiser

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.

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.

Works ok. It needs grommets along the side and center to tie down to avoid flapping around in the wind.

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.

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

This is the 3rd Bestop bikini top I've ordered for my 1977 fj40 in 8 years. The top fits perfectly and is really good quality EXCEPT for the weak link. The rear straps that tighten and secure the back of the top become brittle over time and break. I was able to lengthen the life of my last one by using a black ratcheting tie down which actually worked better than the cinching system provided. I also noticed that the tie down material hasn't become brittle over the years. I'm replacing my old one only because the top vinyl portion started to rip where I punched a hole to put the hook through for the tie down. Like I said Bestop makes a great fitting bikini top for my application and better quality compared to others I've tried, that's why I've only purchased the same top to replace the others. I may take the new one to a seamstress to see if I can reinforce the hole for the tie downs with thread and hopefully metal grommets too.

Great quality. Fits my 1970 Toyota Landcruiser FH40 perfectly. Be sure to buy the slide attachment point that installs on the windshield frame.

I if you looking for soft tops, soft doors, or bikini Bestop is the best choiceby the way I had install it on homemade Buggy
