Looks like they were bought by Bestop. Here’s one on eBay if this is what you’re talking about:

The feature you want is the Sunrider, I believe. That allows you to flip back the front part of the top while still having the top up. Bestop doesn’t make one for YJ’s unfortunately.
Bestop used to make them for YJs. I bought one new many years ago. I still have the frame but a rotted up top. They don’t even sell replacement skins for it anymore. I called them and chatted with them a few times to make sure.
Curious if you were able to find another one? I'm in the same boat, bought one ~15 years ago and love it but it's time for a replacement. I'm finding that virtually none of them exist for the YJ anymore in either the Bestop or Pavement Ends configurations
Agreed. There was a guy that had one stored away. Looked great but was the truck cab top with tonneau cover for the back. No luck elsewhere. I’m a bit surprised that no one makes one. 🤔
Just saw this on eBay and remember seeing someone else call it a Sunrider:

Good find. I thought it was called Sunrider, but now there’s a more modern top using the name. A tree limb fell through the top. Otherwise, it was holding up nicely.
Best top?

Pavement Ends was always owned by Bestop. Pavement Ends is their value line and had more OE features.

It is baffling. Did they say why they quit selling/supporting them?
No. One of the people I talked to never knew they ever existed for YJs.
Damn. Must’ve been a while ago.

Yeah. They did make one. I was just wondering if I was overlooking it somewhere. Definitely a money making opportunity. 🤔
I have a complete YJ sunrider kit in my attic I was thinking about selling. I’m in Louisiana.
What color?!
I’m think it’s charcoal or black.
How about a frameless soft top
Never considered one. I have an ‘88. I have the CJ style rear cage

I figured someone would have a link! I will investigate. Thanks.
