    I can't find a bikini top for my '69 commando.
    Will a bikini top for a: 66-77 Bronco or 72-80 Scout ll or 80-86 cj7 -fit.

    I have tried the one off my '67 cj5 but it interferes with the front of the doors.

    A lot of guys have been using CJ-5, CJ-7 tops. You'll also need the front channel the top fits into. Do you have a rollbar?

    Thanks for the help Pack Rat, Yes I do have a roll bar and in the winter use a K-line brand soft.
    Over the weekend I tried on a traditional type Best Tops bikini off a friends 1978 cj7, it fit good.
    Best Top offers a strapless bikini top for 1980 to 86 cj7, has any one tried one on a commando?
    Also I found out they make a strapless type for a 1980 to 83 cj5.
    I think the distance from the top of the windshield to the back of the roll bar is what I need to get for each type to compare with my commando.

    I tried on a friends 1980 t0 1986 cj7 strapless bikini top - Best Top-yesterday, it was to large. I guess the 1980 to 1983 cj5 is the one I will be buying. I'll let you know how it fits when I get it.

    I have a 69 commando also and have the same concern.

    I fabbed in a cj rollbar. And am mounting it on the fenderwells.

    It sounds like a cj 5 from the same year range would be good for windshield width but am woundering about the distance from windshield to rollbar placment..

    If someone would give the measurments width and lenght that would be great....
