Default What's your favorite top configuration

I have been running topless with my front freedom panels. I was thinking about running my soft top but now I'm leaning to wards hard top without the doors so I still have my roof rack.

What is your preference? Why?

Oh gosh, each one serves its purpose; I like them all! But my favorite looking is the safari top, Duster and Windjammer with the tube doors. Here are a few pic's of some of my various configurations. So hard to chose!















And as it sits right now, except I have the Freedom Top panels pulled.

Naked is the best, no roof no doors. I hate the softop. Its awkward and time consuming. If it rains I just put the front panels back on. Had no carpet for three years so that don't matter.

That is going to depend on where you live.

Here where I am in Colorado, a hard top is realistically a necessity in the winter if you want to use the back of the jeep. Soft top works in snow, but at -20 the plastic rear window doesn't work. So for winter - hard top is the best.

Summer, I like mesh top with a soft top on. The soft top is usually down, and I hate that it is bunched up there and makes the rear gate useless - but with random torrential icy rains - you need it on the Jeep and available.


But favorite, is soft top down with mesh top. I really like doors off and full open top but the sun is too intense here. If I lived in Hawaii I would run topless and doorless 24/7/265.

I like it with the front doors off and the bikini top on to keep the Hot Florida sun off my head!

Doors off soft top down during these hot Michigan summers - full time. And watching the weather channel closely daily!

Gonna purchase a hard top for the winter.

But from day to day I switch things around just because I can - soft top only no doors, no top with doors, top with panels on doors off, top up sunroof down panels off doors off, you name it. The fun's in how can I make my car feel different today?
