Is that best top like a soft top when its closed ? can you post a pic of it closed please thanks. and you must have been the first person to get a JL last year if you got it in Jan 17 ? I thought they didn't hit the lots till Feb or march
Yeah, it was an early bird, for sure. It was built in December of 17. Everybody I knew was giving me grief about all the problems it would have being that early, but it turned out to be the opposite. I figured if it was a lemon, I'd sell it in a year and get a 2019. Since the resale is so good, I wouldn't take a terrible hit. You see how it has turned out, though.

Here is the Sunrider for Hard Top closed. It is a really nice fit with no leaks, even in a high pressure touchless car wash. It doesn't flap or make noise. Overall, the freedom panels are only a little bit quieter. This will really come into its own in the spring when we get some warm days here and there. In May I'll swap back to the soft top.

Yeah, I think a lot of folks are hearing that ping! I'm not, but I think they'll sell the daylights out of those. If they have the production capacity, I'd predict it will knock off the Tacoma as #1. That's a tall order, but I've never seen so much anticipation of a vehicle and it simply does things the others never will be able to do. (doors off and top down).

OWO! If it would drop the Tacoma down a peg that would certainly be History !

I'm hearing between April and June we will see them on the lots and pricing ( ballpark ) should be 1000.00 over whatever build a Wrangler would be

I shared this in a separate thread. Tacoma’s sales were up 24% in 2018. They sold over 245,000.

I had ORP when I first got my Rubicon back in August on my 7” screen. It then disappeared. Don’t know when it happened, but it is gone now.
