JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Shouldn't you just have to unzip the old rear window and put the new one on with the channel? I mean, it's nice to have the new top, but that seems like a lot of new fabric to just change out one piece.
I guess you can always order another bar and back window from them, and then someone else can have a Trektop.




I'll volunteer.

the new top has an extra support bar and multiple extra straps designed to keep the top tight and shaped on top to prevent water from pooling in a downpour. the extra straps also allow you to tuck up the side windows and use the top as a safari top.

I assume the new support bar goes somewhere in the middle??? Oh boy, This top sounds sweeter and sweeter by the minute.


I wonder if you can get a No-Top option from jeep! Then you can add your wild boar hard top and Best top Trek Tops!!!

WOW, you can now tuck up the side windows?? that pretty much settles it, I have to get one!!!

Has this new model been released yet or is this just a prototype? Where's the best place to purchase it?

This is great! I like how quickly they've taken our comments/suggestions and rolled out a new release of the top. We'll see when spring rolls around how the top has evolved and how much $$ is in the bank account. Thanks for posting WOL, I look forward to seeing the new top installed.

Jeez... Hopefully it's not too expensive to upgrade... It stinks if you're an early adopter and have to pay . They should set up some sort of exchange program there, IMO.
