I love having all of the soft windows out, my favorite way to roll. I would remove the doors, but with smaller kids, I worry about safety. Honestly, I think this new soft top is my favorite improvement over the JK.

I used to cheat my JK's soft top into a safari using a couple bungee cords.

For as much as I like the hard top.....I am missing the freedom and versatility of the soft.

I just removed the hardtop and installed soft top today and took out for a quick ride with all the doors and windows on. Boy is it much quieter then the JK soft top. Then took off doors and windows....Removing the doors was much easier and lighter then the JK. Wasn't sure if I was gonna like safari look when saw pics. I like to keep the soft top up for the shade especially on 90 degree days. But when I saw in person I love the look.

VERY COOL! Is that aftermarket lettering on hood...I noticed no red outline?

Just put the soft top on today...great weather...leaving it in safari position this week!

Driving up to 50 only, but seems somehow less windy that when you have hard top with windows down? Is that just me liking it, or think it is something with the air not getting trapped inside?

I have some highway on my commute. What would be the Max speed we could go in this mode?

I feel like I rarely see JK's that aren't completely buttoned up here, maybe less than 5%. Saw a JL running safari top a couple weeks ago. Looks like aagood plan given how intense the sun is here. Curious if people will have the top down or safari with the new soft top.

Did you remove factory and apply your self? any tips?
The factory decal peeled off pretty easily. However before I started taking it off I used painters tape along the edges of factory decal so that I could easily line up the new decal.

The Safari top is great. I had a spiderweb shade on my JK but I like just using the safari top when I want to block the sun and flipping it down when I want open air. It is much easier than using these shade tops.

The premium Sunrider top is excellent so far . The flexibility of the different ways you can run with it is great. And its so quick and easy to put one and off!
