Has anyone ever leased a hard top and returned it with a soft top?

While you’re at it, if it’s a Rubicon swap out the axles and transfer case for those that came with a Sport model before you turn it back in.

You can always find another used hard top if you decide to return it when the lease is up, but I don’t think I’d try to return it without it.

And us. :P

OP will probably will get away with as the inspector is probably not a jeep guy. However...

The leasing company has the window sticker on file. The inspector will be looking for damage, mods, and missing equipment. Its kind of included in the 'disposition fee' that they pay (well, you pay) the inspector. Its not cheap because he's supposed to be taking a serious look at the car.
Soft tops are fairly pricey. I would be honestly surprised if anyone says a word about it. Worse case, OP splits the difference with them. But it sounds like he will probably keep the Jeep.
