Will a spare 37 fit under the bestop trektop nx?

[HoldenS]

I keep my spare 37” tire inside standing up strapped to the roll bar. I’m wanting to switch from a hard top to a soft top and was wondering if anyone could tell me if the tire would fit under a besttop trektop nx, the fastback one. The only square back soft top I can find is the Mopar one and it is $1000 more than the besttop.

No idea but Bestop makes a square back that costs the same as the fastback.

That is 4 door only as far as I can tell.

I have the fastback on my 2 door currently; I can measure the interior dimensions later today and let you know

That would be very helpful, thank you.

Sorry I wasn't able to get to it yesterday; but here are the approximate dimensions:

40" from B-pillar to bottom of rear window
27" from B-pillar to top of rear window
36" from floor to speaker on roll bar
38" from floor to cross piece at top of rear window

It looks like it might actually fit in there. Thank you very much for your help!

I have come to the same conclusion after much searching. While Bestop offers fastback softtop options for both 4 door and 2 doors, if you want a squareback you can only get one for a 4 door.

That means Mopar OEM softtops are the only option for those who want a squareback for a 2 door (again, as far as I can tell). And, as you pointed out in your opening post, @HoldenS, that means OEM upcharges.

I have had my spare inside and looking at the space b/t the sport bar and window that is going to be tight.

I just gave up and ordered a spare carrier as I just got sick of it. Despite preferring the look of no spare and it drives better with that weight over the axle.

I’m think I’m just going to get a Mopar square back soft top so it will fit for sure.
