Viking Fast Back Softop for TJs

[Nigel]

Like the look and the idea, the light Khaki car in the pics has me a bit comcerned about fit and finish, but the blue one looks good (quality control issues?) other than the price issues outlined by Wooders I would have one in a heartbeat, or as soon as the bank balance recovers from the last round of mods.....

Big Mac, have you heard anything more on this?

From their site:

"A note to our Soft Top customers:
Since the introduction of the Viking Fast Back top, our Sales have far exceeded our expectations. Due to the unexpected response we are making changes in our production to meet the current and future demand. We are tooling up for larger volumes and expect to be at full capacity in approximately 60 - 90 days. Once our new production line is fully operational we will have the capacity to meet customer demands by stocking up to avoid shipping delays.

Currently there is a waiting list for tops from both individual customers and our retail shops around the country. We appreciate your patience and will ship tops in the order received. If an order is placed today our current lead time is 60 days."


Seems like business is good for them

Hi Jeeps,

Wow I like it !, I have always complained about the stupid stock softop. Always gotta plan for a trip with or with out top. REALLY PISSES ME OFF.
Looks like better vision too with the side windows being a unblocked.
Definately gonna get me one.

Wooders, i think you may need see what you can do!

I tried to order a Viking SoftTop, this was the responce I got.

[QUOTE]We are not selling them yet and it may take up to 10 months until we start selling but I hope it will be much less time than than we will update our website when we know. They will sell for $595 US, we do not have any resellers set up in Australia, we will be selling them direct at full retail so you might be able to get a little better deal from one of our dealers but again they will not have them for sale until we start shipping in the next 10 months.
