Im with you.. Jeeps are meant to take the top down at a moment's notice! The heater in the Jeep Im fairly sure could roast a full course dinner. I feel like the hard top takes away from it personally.
That's exactly how I've been running mine for the last 3 months. I took the windows out day 1 and put them under our bed. (Still waiting for the carrier.) Sometimes I'll drop the top all the way down, but the majority of times the safari top provides great windflow, especially with all the windows down.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Same here in NC. i see people with their hard tops on on a nice day in March for example and it makes me sad. But to each their own.
There are far too many people who want a Jeep because it is cool but never take advantage of the actual Jeep features. A lady I work with has a JKU and she is moving to Arizona. She has never taken off her full top or her doors. She told me she ordered a soft top cover for the freedom top area (sorry drawing a blank on that it is called) but it is like $600! O told her she could buy a whole new soft top for that. She said she would have to put the hard top somewhere though... I asked her why she wouldn't sell the hard top as she is moving to Arizona. You could tell the thought had not crossed her mind.
I went back and forth for a while on ordering a dual top or soft top only. I realized in the end that I would most likely use the soft top 90%+ of the time and would end up having to store/hang the hard top. And probably after swapping out this winter, I would likely not do it again. I took some advice from a friend that has both for his 2014 JKUR and I ordered the soft top only. Not regretting it a bit as of now
The Bestop account on this forum stated to watch their Facebook on Friday, May 25th, for "MAJOR" news.
I bought a hard top for security and the fact that aftermarket soft tops will be available, whereas getting a hardtop later would be expensive and difficult. However I wish I had the ease of the soft top in terms of going topless. I need security because i constantly have expensive items for work and school in my vehicles. There is a purpose for both. I'll snag a bestop soft top before this fall.
What did you have in the soft top that kept getting stolen? I don’t keep anything in the Jeep but I still worry about someone breaking in for no reason.My soft top was broken into so many times I stopped counting. Plus, hard tops look way better IMO. That is why I roll with a hard top and bikini. Any news on the bikini?
