Thumbs up Bestop Trektop Installed!!

For those of you who are interested, I just finished installing my new Bestop Trektop and this is what it looks like.....







I'll be honest and tell you that after reading some of the posts that were posted here, I was a little concerned about how this top was going to work out. However, I can assure you that this top is extremely easy to install and can be done in about 15-20 minutes by yourself. Of course, once all the loose parts have been assembled, the removing of and future reinstallations will go even faster.

Right off the bat, I have to say that this top far exceeded my expectations. Thanks to the addition of door surrounds, the Trektop serves as a tight fitting soft top that will keep the elements 100% out of your Jeep. Another benefit of this top is that the rear windows are much larger than the factory top and I have found it to offer much better visibility. Because it has no bows, when removed, the Trektop can be folded and rolled down into a neat little bundle and stored out of the way with ease.

If you are looking for a soft top for your JK, I would highly recommend the Bestop Trektop

That looks good. I can't believe it was easy to install.

Yup, super easy to install.

for the most part, yes. however, there are new low profile door surrounds that you need to install and the top wraps around it at the doors. this allows you to have a tight seal when the doors are closed and this keeps the elements out. in fact, with the top on and doors closed, it's just like having a soft top on and is even quite inside.

yup. once installed, it behaves just like a factory soft top. when you turn on the AC, it even puffs up just like the factory soft top

Hopefully, it doesn't leak like the factory soft top.
