AFAIK tops are interchangeable from '97-'02, i think. Around '03 they went
with a slightly different latch system, if I am correct.

I believe you are correct and some mods would be needed to run the newer tops. Many
of us run part year hard and part year soft.

Top / Latch from a 2003 works fine on my 99...you need a plug adapter to
make the wiring connection from the top to the jeep. Found one at JeepsRUs.
