Recommendation for No-Drill Bikini Top for 1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler
For your 1982 CJ8 Scrambler, I recommend looking at the Bestop Traditional Bikini with Windshield Channel - Black # B5250801-B51209. This traditional bikini soft top will include the necessary windshield channel for installation. To install the windshield frame, you will need to drill 3/32 inch holes to insert the included snap studs. We do not currently offer a windshield channel for your 1982 Scrambler that will not require some drilling. I have attached the installation details on...

If you are thinking about purchasing the Bestop Windjammer for Jeep - Spice - 1980-1995 # B8002837 for your 1991 YJ Jeep Wrangler, I confirmed with my contact at Bestop that you will not need a bikini top like the Bestop Traditional Bikini with Windshield Channel for Jeep # B5250804-B51209. However, you will need the OEM bows on your Jeep to install the Windjammer.

Complete Roof Kit With Deck Cover for 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ
I can get you set up with a full kit for your 1990 Jeep YJ but the Bestop Duster Deck Cover # B9000215 only covers the rear of your Jeep and not the full roof. What you would need to add for a full kit is the Bestop Windjammer # B8002801 as well as the Bestop Strapless Bikini with Windshield Channel # B5250915-B51209. Adding these components will give your Jeep the brand new top you were looking for. I have linked the installation instructions for all of the Bestop parts so you can take...

Replacement Soft Top Kit for a 1980 Jeep CJ-5
The correct replacement soft top kit for your 1980 Jeep CJ-5 is the Bestop Supertop Soft Top for Jeep part # B5159715 for black denim, part # B5159701 for black, or part # B5159704 for tan. This system features a 23 oz fabric compared to the 18 oz fabric included with the Rampage soft top kit and it includes the doors unlike the Rampage soft top kit.
