Hard Top, or Hard + Soft top

[abecker]

I have a JLU Sport with the hard top, and enjoy driving with the freedom panels off especially since the weather is getting nicer. i'm debating ordering the premium soft top, and right now can get it for around $1900 shipped. I can't decide if I would miss not having the soft top if I didn't buy it, or if I would be happy enough with the freedom tops off and leaving the hard top on. For those of you with just a hard top, are you thinking about getting a soft top, or just sticking with the hard top?

Personally, I'd wait for Bestop to release aftermarket tops. Should be interesting to see what they come out with and hopefully a little cheaper.

First Jeep was hardtop only. Second Jeep was a dual top package. My current JLU is premium soft top only. The hard top is a pain in the ass to deal with. I even had the Harken hoist in the garage. Still hated taking the hardtop off. Freedom panel were a pain to. Soft top all the way.

Do they release the tops with the hardware, or is the hardware sold separately.

I actually don't mind the Freedom panels at all.

They come with all hardware required to install the top.

I vote dual top - you’ll have plenty of great weather to have it all the way down.

I’m in Ohio, our climates are relatively similar... hard top from October/November (depending on the year) to March/April.

Top down with the soft top is significantly better than freedom panels off

Sell your hard top and get a soft top

I'm in the same boat, ordered a hard top and now I'm debating about asking the dealer to switch and give me a soft top.

I have both, and like them both, for different seasons.

I went ahead and ordered the top. Between the sale at morris4x4 and an additional 3% back from Ebates I couldn’t pass it up.
