Any major question can be directed to John upon request. The Jeep is sitting in my summer house in Sparta Ga. I don't know what tops I have for the jeep. Appearance wise the jeep is in average shape.. Mechanically built like a tank. It is amazing how John built this jeep it was featured in JP jeep magazine, pic enclosed. Will not find another jeep this strong. Have clear title any question please call David 954 560 2466. Below is a list of items that where done to the jeep. Happy bidding on The Beast
