Thanks to all with help on the rollbar question, but I doubt I'll be investing in a soft top now.
Geez, I thought the Bestops were cheaper than that! Guess I was thinking about the STC top. Hmmm, your K5 could use a bikini top at least

Back in 1993 I paid $345 for my Kayline top.

Hey Mark, Here's a shot of mine. Wasn't quite finished install at this point. I really like it. STC Fasttrac. I'll try to get some new pics as soon as I get the 8 lug swap done.
