Thanks for this thread. I'm trying to make the same decision,wish the NX came in colors.

 

In winter I run hardtop, and summer run the trektop nx. Out here on west coast I run most of the summer without the back window and sail panels anyways. One thing I very much dislike about the trektop is the fitment of the sail panels to the rear door surrounds. Lots of flapping. Given the weather out here in hindsight, I'd be more inclined to run trektop safari style with just the besttop rear deck cover. To summarize though, If I could have only one top, it'd be the factory soft top. But because I have a factory hard top, the nx is the better choice for pure summer duty for me.

 

I have a 2012 JKU that came with a hard top. Two weeks ago I bought a Bestop Twill top, which is the same material as the 2013 OE premium top.

I'm very happy with the fit and overall function of the top. For me, I like the option of being able to open the Sunrider, as well as being able to remove the side and/or rear panels.

My suggestion is to find a few other Jeepers that have both style tops so you can see how each works and make the decision then.

 

Is the Bestop Twill Top the same as the Mopar OEM Premium Top? i.e. hardware, folding mechanism, etc. Thanks.

 

I have a brand newTrektop NX in my garage that I've never used. I picked it up on sale...but I already wish I had a factory soft top instead. The factory soft top is more versatile. Hopefully the NX grows on me.

 

I'm thinking the exact opposite, I have a never used factory soft top want to trade? 4 dr right?

 

Panthermark, thanks for the trade. I got it installed.

 

Looks good!

Thanks for the trade as well!

 

Finally got my hoist built and my top installed. Once I "adjust" some things, I'll post a pic.

 

Please do. weather has gotten nice enough for the top down!
