Default Recommendations for a soft top

I currently have a hard top, but im looking for a soft top with hardware for the summer.
I want one where the top rolls up in the back. Obviously there are a million out there, Im looking for the best bang for my buck and trying to keep the cost down as my hope is that I can basically not have the hardtop on at all during the summer and rarely have to put the soft top up.

thanks to all in advance!

I got a used one on Craigslist if you don't have the hardware that's when tough all cost to much money brand new find some one selling it cheap used and then just replace the material

Take a look at the trektop nx. I love mine. It's frame less so you more options than the factory top and factory hardware to deal with. You can have a full top, bimini or flip back like the factory one.

Get a used frame 2012+ and get a Rough country Top for $250 bucks!!

I'm going to try the spice color since I already have a black one.

Well, I have a factory soft top, but I'll be switching to a trektop NX.

During the summer, the combo I really love is a bikini top with rear deck cover...be stop has a cheap line of goods, named "pavement ends." I bought their bikini top and deck cover for like $120 and I'm super pleased with how rest it is during the summer.

Does rain still get in the backseat and how about around the roll bars in the back?

I dont have a garage so mine would be outdoors 24/7. TIA
