Softop for the summer
So I only have a hard top right now on my JKU but was leaning towards getting a soft top for the summer so I wont have to deal with the cumbersome back roof piece every time I want to go topless. I am a big fan of the trektop safari style but was looking around and can't seem to find if the top actually folds all the way down or if Id have to take off the top all together. Anyone have experience with this top? Also I have a light bar on and Id assume that wont interfere with the top folding back but hey you know what they say about assuming

The trek top does not fold completely down. It has the sun rider feature, which folds the front back but still covers the rear seats and cargo area. You can remove the windows and rear easily enough and fold the top half back and it's pretty open. You can remove the entire top if you wanted, but it's a pain in the ass in my opinion.
I have the trek top and I love it. I have two little monsters in the back so I like to keep them covered from the sun.

Trektop is cool, but I'd suggest finding a used OEM top on Craigslist or something. I got mine for $300. They're easy to use & the whole top folds down.
If you decide later on you want to switch things up, you can sell it & try something else.

Wow didn't think theyd go for that cheap, definitely gonna do that then. Is there any other necessary hardware or brackets needed for the soft top or should it mount to same as hard top?

And some brackets from the rollbar and the tail gate bar. At least from what I've read. I have mine sitting in the garage to be installed this weekend so I'll know more then.
