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.

Default Trektop NX first impressions

Well, installed the NX a day ago, and I hafta say, this top is awesome. It fits snug like a glove, seems quieter than my stock top, looks great, and has so many cool features. I encountered no issues installing it either. Only thing is the J hooks in the back don't stay tight, but I'll figure out a way to fix this. Other than that, so far I'm very happy. I'll update after it rains, lol.

Other than looks how is it different than stock? What other cool features are you talking about? I see that a lot of people have them, just never understood why.

Thanks
Matt

Question for you...(or anyone else reading this). Did you buy the Trektop brandnew? What year is your JK? I have a 2012 JKU and I found a Trektop on craigslist...dude says it is from a 2010. I know, from my previous JK (2007), that they have made some improvements on soft top fitment. Will an older Trektop work on my 2012?

Just curious.

I checked into this for you, and the Trektop models will fit 2012s without a problem (regardless of the fitment our site currently is showing...). Hope this helps you out, if you want any more info on them, let me know and I'll find out for ya!

Big THANKS!!!

I mean it doesn't cook you breakfast, but I like the tinted windows, I love the sunrider (which I didn't have stock), I like that there are no bars, the bikini top ability, the sound dampening bar, and it looks awesome.
