@Tredsdert there are no plans to make an aftermarket Hardtop unfortunately.
~Crystal@Bestop
I understand y'all specialize in soft top options, but you should totally invest in an aftermarket hardtop option. Think about it there's basically nothing out there in the market for it. Only the OEM option. You're telling me nobody's ever thought they can improve on the hardtop? I feel like there's lots of room for improvement. A company like Bestop could definitely bank on that too.

In a couple more years I worry I'm going to have to design and customize my own hardtop. I have a soft top now, but I do want to get a hard top someday. It's just I'm not a huge fan of the freedom tops. A one-piece hardtop would be pretty legit and because it would be one piece you could do some really cool things with it that you can't currently do with Wrangler tops. I mean roof rails is one, another big one is reinforced rooftop, so you won't need to buy an aftermarket reinforcement brackets. Solid piece roof would very likely never leak. I'd be curious to see if there's a lot of other people out there who would be interested in that.

Food for thought, I appreciate y'all's time! ;)

@Tredsdert Bestop used to make Hardtops, way back in the day. We stopped production on them in 2010. I will definitely share your feedback with the team though! Thank you!

My 2023 Sport S JL arrived this month and I had the Sunrider installed before I picked it up - enjoying every moment with it open with our early "Spring-like" weather on Cape Cod!

Trektop all day. I didn't even bother to pull my full doors and hardtop out of storage this winter.

Some days, I'll just pull the uppers on my half doors and open the Sunrider. Most of the summer, I just run the bikini top if the weather is going to be good for any stretch of time. Lots of options with this combination.
