Default New trektop or front bumper?
I need help with someone talking me out if a new front bumper. I have enough saved for a new trektop but I can't help to think how sweet a new brawler lite would look. My factory soft top is starting to wear and leak so I know what my choice shouuuuld be lol

Get the trektop cause it sounds like that's what you need. Then for now for a different look chop your front bumper to make it a stubby. This way you have the top you need and a different look with your bumper for the time being

No u shouldn't but I own a Trektop NX and it leaks at the back Window joints and I had a BRAND NEW factory soft top that leaked in the same spot..... If u ask me, mostly everyone has had some sort of leak in their soft tops aftermarket and stock.... Hell my factory hard top leaks where it meets the passenger side of the windshield!

Must say though.... I do LOVE my Trektop NX, and I know u will too.... The small leak mine has is just due to a small gap right behind the top of the rear doors that I can fiddle around with and get it sealed but I usually don't worry about it lol.... I'd love to tell u to get the bumper but u can always do what was mentioned above and make ur factory bumper stubby or u can get one of them e-auto grills bumpers that they get on the "I did the unthinkable" thread in show and tell section

In my opinion....get the bumper. I just bought a 2012 Jk this summer....top leaks a bit near the windows. You should still be covered under the warranty... That being said, many soft tops do leak.....just one of those keep problems lol. If it were me....after MUCH consideration, I'd go for the bumper. Plus the brawler lite is badass'

I would go for the bumper. The factory bumpers are hideous, and maybe get a winch
