Hi Guys,
Another Newbie here with a new Unlimited Rubicon X coming this Friday and wanted to see what everyone's opinion of the best soft top for pretty permanent use. I am looking for it to look good, but also come off (or at least down) pretty easy. I have never owned a JK, so am brand new to this and also, any other suggestions. This is not my daily driver, but want to do some mods that are practical and functional (winch, side-steps, back-up camera, mirror-relocate, , etc). For example, my wife is vertically challenged and thinking about the AMP (JK) 4-door PowerStep, but don't know if I can put that on a Rubicon X (with the existing rock-rail)? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Joe

 

Read the FAQs and My Thoughts on Lifts threads stickied at the top to start.

 

Reading about lifts isn't gonna help decide on a soft top and rails. Haha.

Get a BestTop Twill Top. It is the "new" fabric and is spring assisted for dropping/raising. There is a company making a full power top for a Jeep too. Might be the same company. Don't know. As for steps? Get PowerBoards. They motorize down when a door is opened and retract to double as sliders when the doors are closed.

 

Thanks guys, appreciate the advice.

 

I have a trek top nx and love it

 

Can't help with the soft-top as I'm looking to purchase a good one as well.

As far as the powered step goes, RSE (Rock Slide Engineering) makes a powered step that doubles as a rock slider. From their demo video, they seem to be pretty durable. You can also get them with LED's that light up the step when it deploys. Only downside is they're expensive ($2k), but you get what you pay for I suppose.
