Re: 72 Jimmy looking for bikini top

I would try a boat shop that makes covers. I think they will be your best place to try.

Re: 72 Jimmy looking for bikini top

PS, I just upload a pic of my 72 Jimmy as my avatar, but it needs to be rotated. Anyone know how to do that?

Re: 72 Jimmy looking for bikini top

And last question for anyone who can help, how do I attach an image(s) in a post? I see where I can link out to a URL, but not how I can attach an image.

Re: 72 Jimmy looking for bikini top

I started with the Bestop for a CJ7. Just trim, fold, stitch and attach. The attach part was much harder.
