Switch from 2022 Soft top to Hard top?

[Tell3131]

Getting close to buying a 2022 Rubicon soft top off the lot, only thing is that I don't want a soft top. How hard to switch it to a Hard top and where do I order one from? Prefer to get the factory Hard top. Thanks!

You can also get all fancy like this but kind of pointless.

Thank you. A lesson learned. I have a new phone... although that's not my excuse but I am on a learning curve with this flip phone!

Flip phone or folding phone? Marked difference. Lol

Soft top only Wranglers aren't wired for the hard top, so in addition to the cost of the hard top, you would need to have all the wiring and wiper fluid lines installed.

I wanted a soft top, but ordered a hard top because I live in a cold weather climate and it's easier to add a soft top than a hard top.

Putting a hard top on is the easy part. Making the wiper, sprayer and defrost work is another story.

Exactly. I didn't even bother with that part, and probably never will. My soft top didn't have those features.

There is zero chance that I could look at the wiper and be like "nope. I don't want to use you" and just leave it. Jesus, just thinking about that gives me some weird anxiety. Lol.

So sounds like, if I want a hardtop then just find one on the lot with hardtop and buy it or order one with hardtop. Makes sense. Thanks!

That would be easiest and cheapest route most likely, unless you find a killer deal on a hard top and are okay doing the wiring install yourself.

Is everyone really as super passive in Canada as the TV makes yall out to be? Just wondering!
