My tan vinyl top looks like bigfoot wiped his ass with it... Ive tried soap and water and some other cleaners with no luck.

Not trying to sound like a smart :!: ss, but have you tried a vinyl cleaner? ... They should sell some at your local auto store. I had a tan top on my rock crawler\mud truck (that I sold to get my pinz :D ), so I've felt your pain.

For heavy duty, try marine vinyl cleaner, takes most everything off

Anyone know where I can get a tan vinyl top like this? Considering a paint job and a tan top would be preferable, but not interested in the insulated " puffy" style. This one looks very close to stock spec. jackal, I believe you bought the pinz with it already on, correct?
Your truck is awesome, met you at the fiesta island meet and greet. And you brew damned good beer as I (vaguely) remember.

As I recall, Tough River Stuff makes all kinds of custom tops, not just the insulated "puffy" style. Ray also
sent me a card of fabric samples when I had mine made, some colors were Sunbrella material, but also had some basic
colors in a vinyl fabric.
If you really want an original style tan top, you may want to give Ray a call.

Yes give him a call. Last year I was quoted a top price. They do very good work. Keep in mind that they are a
river rafting company and with rafting season coming up it might take a bit of time to get your top. So call early.
just a heads up

Will do. I respect the fact that they make them domestic and from all I've seen and read they're worth the wait.
Jackal- any luck? did you try the 303?
