I personally love my sunrider, it's just plain practical for a lot of my situations. I also have a 4 door however, and it seems from a lot of the posts I see here that it's a little more useful on the 4 door compared to the 2 door.

I love my sunrider soft top. It's a quick way to get some sun without having to take out all the windows and peel the whole top back. Note that the manual advises to open the back window when going more than 40mph with the sunrider open, but it's very quick also to just roll that up.

I never take the back window out when I open mine. I know you are supposed to but no problems have arisen, the side windows suck in a bit, but they do that with the back window out too. I've been up to about 60 MPH with the back window in without hurting anything.

Sunrider all the way. I've had it on both my LJ and JK and wouldn't trade it.

This is gonna make me sound like a complete newb but, what is the difference between the standard soft top and the sunrider on a 4 door and how can I tell the difference between the two? I have one of them but which one im not sure, didnt look through the soft top section of the manual because the damn thing is so easy to install.

Sunrider all the way! Simply put it's practical and guaranteed to be used. Money well spent if you ask me.

I'm pretty sure the sunrider is standard on all 4 door JK's.

The sunrider lets you open up the top above the passengers (like a giant sunroof) without taking out the rear windows and taking the whole top down.

The Sunrider is cool! Like a T-Top, as you can open just the front.
