That's terrible news. Your locked in at a good price though, considering the hikes. Just hang in there. :beer:




Definitely a must for ditching the back seat. Love Jeeple ingenuity especially when the solution is so cheap. :like:

I have mine standing on end in a corner of the basement as well. Now no worries about the cat finding a scratching post or a nest of spiders greeting my passengers should I ever put it back in the Jeep.

The storage space it opens up is awesome. The speaker may be an issue once I start adding lock boxes, air tank, fire extinguisher, dog bed, etc.

:facepalm:
we found that the speaker sounds just fine buried under gear and our ice chest sitting right on it, we thought it even sounded a lil better buried lol

Does anyone know if there is any significant difference between the 2 Mopar soft tops? Is sailcloth better than twill from a practical standpoint? The build looks otherwise identical to me. Has anyone purchased one yet?

Here's what the manual shows for sunrider:

Fully down position, you just use the locks and no straps:

Yes, but it seems to rattle enough to be annoying. I can wiggle the arms that go up into track and they have a ton of play, which is odd considering how well it works otherwise.

Oh well, Safari mode > all

Well then. Maybe a non-issue.

I'd like to know that myself. They will be spendy to buy after the fact I'm sure.

I'm waiting for Bestop's do not compete commitments are done to see what they have to offer. I'm definitely getting their pull over shade.

It really is nice having it out, I just wish it was all washable. Thats an option I would really like out of the factory. One trip in the back and the boxers made it "theirs", one wiped weird crap all over the back of the drivers seat, and I saw the little guy licking the rollbar at one point.... wtf guys! lol

I absolutely hate having the top and doors on. So I care most about what it's like with the top down.

I'm trying to understand your questions here. Are you asking about the factory installed premium soft top or just about the regular? I have the PST and love it! Makes the Jeep quieter than my previous hard tops.

Well after a month of sitting in I status my January 29 Rubicon failed inspection. No end in site at this point. 188 days and counting...
I know how you feel we ordered 12/30/17 finally showed up 7/12/18 damaged and reordered 7/13 /18 and as of 8/3/18 Friday the new replacement is shipped and is halfway to Oregon much faster than the original . Still frustrating one of the first ordered and one of the last 2018 to be delivered does anybody know if fca is offering anything for these late deliveries.

I got nothing but my awesome Jeep at the end of the long wait.

Would have been nice to get something like the extended warranty, touch-up paint, or even some better discounts like I've read a couple other have gotten. Not expecting anything though. I'll be happy if the Jeep remains reliable. lol

Everyone have a Great Day!
Spend a little time with your Jeep!​

Sorry to hear that. What are they going to do for you? They SHOULD put you right back in the line and build your Jeep tomorrow and compensate you. Hope things go well soon!
