Only have a soft top. Never had a hard top......never wanted one, and never wish I had one.....and I live in Alaska. The heater works so well it's never a problem in the winter even at -20.

That being said tho.........you living in NJ, I would think the security of the heard top would play a fig factor...

I think the slant looks horrible on the 2 dr makes it look like 1/3 of the JK is gone a girl at work has one used it last summer not using it this year at all.
That said it looks alright on the 4 dr if your JKU is all modded up with lift, larger tires, rims etc.
Just my 2 cents.

I have the dual top. Use the hard top for winter, soft top for everything else. When I had my TJ I only had the soft top. When I traded that in,I was hell bent on getting both tops, and I am sure glad I did. You should def get a soft top, you will not regret it!!

It doesn't seem like you need much convincing! I only have the soft-top and am glad that's all I have, driving through Houston in 95+ weather it's still pleasant and that's why the top is down around 90% of the time.

You will not regret getting the soft top. Smile pasted on my face every time I drive with the top down.
