Black Power Soft Top

[Shumx2]

Now that it's been finally confirmed for the JL, what is everyone expecting/hoping for? I'd personally like to see something like the Rugged Ridge Powertop but a little smoother action and obviously without that hefty price tag.

I know there's a bunch of other aftermarket examples they can draw from.

I hope I'm wrong but I just can't see this being a tight fold down.

Leaks will always be an issue I'm sure. Just don't want to see a Liberty Sky Slider type of top.

I meant pics of your Rugged Ridge example... I don't have time to search the innerwebs for that stuff.

Oh, wait...

that rugged ridge one looks like it is all one piece. Is that the case? I frequently end up driving with the top up but the windows off. Maybe I am in the minority there, but I would prefer to still have removable side and rear window even on a power top.

but if I had a power top, maybe I would not do that as much. just with the humidity in the Northeast, get those frequent 5 pm storms, where I will just put the top up, but leave the windows off.

Can we tell whether this will be offered on a sport?

Read the title and expected a Malcolm X themed decal on the top.

Yea I think so. There's another from MyTop that is similar design and it's one piece. They call the lack of a zippable window a 'safety feature' lol whatever you call it it aint cheap!

With the RR solution my main worry is the plastic windows' creases developing cracks/tears and also rubbin road grit into them an scratching the plastic.

Side window clarity isn't a big issue, but does affect should checks, whereas that rear is more important, and even with delicate unzipping and storage, after a summer of up/down that rear can get rather cloudy with scars.

It will be interesting to see how they account for all that.

I hope so. If there's no 2DR Sahara it would make sense to offer it on the JL Sport.

Lol blame Jeep for the poor wording :cwl:

The Rugged Ridge one is no longer being sold, probably due to no one wanting to spend 5K on a soft top. On another note I would not be surprised if it's a JL Unlimited option only.
