    I have a Beachwood Canvas top on my US Army CJ-3B. Top quality! It is made of very heavy canvas and the olive green color is beautiful, I love it.
    That said, I wish that Beachwood offered the roll up back curtain/window options that New Life has. So at this point in time I'm not sure which brand I'm going with.
    As for the stenciling, there are several options on that, you can even get no stenciling as I did on the CJ-3B. Don't know about the websight stenciling, my M-416 trailer cover doesn't have that either. I'm sure you can have that left off. I would.

    Beechwood Canvas was hit hard by Sandy. They had some pics in the latest issue of Military Vehicles Magazine, shows some of their display Jeeps damaged by bricks and blocks, some windshields smashed by debris, paint jobs ruined, etc. And everything flooded out, of course.

    My top is from Surplus City. The canvas over the bed I had made locally thanks to Scott aka Fishtail after we put together some measurements.
    Thanks for all the help!

    I recently bought a New Life Canvas Cab Top. It looks good but the snaps are way off. It may be my truck? I am going to have to have the snaps relocated on the truck as I believe that to be an easier fix. Has anyone else ran into this problem?

    I didn't have any misalignment problems, but a couple of the bases were missing. I found them at a local hardware store.

    I have a New Life Top w/ the roll up back. No problems ... I love it. I covered the thing in Canvak when I got it years ago and it still looks new today. When I wash the truck the water still beads on the top.

    My New Life top snapped right up with no problems! The roll up window is awesome too and keeps the truck much cooler and allows you to talk to passengers in the bed during parades! I would never go back to the stock top!
