I’ve said it before, that’s not a good look. And looks worse on a Jeep!

Hate away...I got mine brand new in the box for the About the same as a Sunrider, kids in the backseat get to enjoy the open air too, and I can flip it back in 20 seconds, whole thing comes off in 5. It’s great for VA spring where the weather changes by the hour, and I’ll switch back to hardtop for the winter.

When I’m driving I can’t see it. It’s super easy to take down since it usually rains for 20 minutes every afternoon I the summer here I think it’s great. Honestly to unwrapped rear roll bar tubes bothers me way more but my back window stays off unless I’m going to the car wash.

Yep, the reason I chose the hard top. I wondered how it would look flipped back since it really had nowhere to go. I can have my hard top removed in 10 minutes or less, way easier on the JT than it was on the JKU I had. I'm not missing the soft top one bit. I'll be doorless and topless soon anyway.

Ditto! This is the first Jeep I have owned with a hard top. I don't like man buns or mullets...and I was raised in Alabama :) But the decision is easier in Utah since we get very little rain June-Aug.

I was really hoping that Bestop or another company would come out with a mullet-free soft top.

What the hell is a "man bun" ?
I was raised in SC, and I love mullet (the fish).

I agree it's not the best look when open, but it's the only option and probably will be the only option for the Gladiator.

I couldn't see myself flopping it back like that. It would have to be a full removal if I had one.

its extremely convenient, though. Everyone wants it to fold back into the bed, but then you have to work around that for other bed options, including a full load of cargo...

My favorite thing i've learned to do so far is to unbuckle it at a red light, push it up about 8", and watch it fold itself back when i take off and hit about 5mph.
