If I were in the South-East I would agree. In fact if I was in Al, Ga,Fl.... the top would be off not soft (except in rain). However out here, the Freedom Top reigns for me. too much cold and snow to deal with weathered soft tops.

[QUOTE=Black08X;652724]My good friend CCDJeep will be especially pissed at me for posting this. lol But oh well, it's all in fun.
The soft top JK is better than the hard top. If you are considering a new JK, be a real man or for you girls, a hot mama, and get the soft top. Why?
I like softtops too, but I will not give you point number 2, I think the hard top is way easier to remove and replace, and way quicker, plus I have the option of having just the freedom panels on without having to buy a bikini top. Of course When I go out for work in the morning and it looks nice, it only takes me about 4-5 minutes to remove hardtop. But I have a yard in which to put it, and it only takes one person not two or three, in fact when people "help" me, it makes it harder.

I am glad I have the option of having both. Unfortunately I haven't been able to remove my hardtop yet, after moving and all the storms and living in an apartment with no place to store the hard top. I am looking forward to being able to put the soft top on soon though.

I think real Jeepers have Avatars that display their Jeep off road and on top of a rock or two.
I only bought a Soft Top, as I did not think I would ever need to have a Hard Top. I also try to drive as much as possible with the doors off and the top down, and if you are lucky, after a hard day’s work, you will come to find a nice present from a little birdie sitting on one of your seats.

One of the only things that suck about soft tops in the winter is dealing with the back window when it is cold and it is stiff/tight..
Other than that, I love the sound of all the snow sliding off the soft top when i take a sharp corner

During an 8 hour trip you can also expect:
twice - "coffee?"
"yup"
one- "Gotta pee"
"K"
three - "WOW!!"
"UH-HUH!!"
and one - "Gotta pee NOW!!!"
" Ya, ok, me too"
You know,'real jeeper' guys never have to ask if the other wants to eat, that comes at the gas stop. Now if these guys are long time friends, that is the extent of conversation during the 8 hour drive. If they are kinda new friends(12 years or less), there are 2 other needed conversations.
"Man, STOP, I really gotta pee, NOW!!" (note: adding 'please' is a sign of weakness)
pause of 2 miles, "OK" point off into the distance "Right up there" drive for a minimum of 6.3 more miles before stopping, wait for pee-ee to start flow before adding "might as well since ya made me stop"
"coffee?"
"yup"
That is the problem with new Jeeping friends, they force you into some long winded conversations.
What was the original question?
