Soft Top
My jeep is a 2007 and the softop is in pretty bad shape. Really faded, some little rips, and other common stuff. Should I replace it with another normal softop, keep it and get a hardtop, or get the Bestop trektop nx. So far Im thinking the Bestop. It is the cheapest route even though id love to find a hardtop..

But I do really like the factory soft top, that's what is on my JKU now. And, my Trek Top is really scruffy now.
The Trek Top is a great alternative, for a couple of years or so. The NX may last even longer.

I would get a hardtop off someone on the forum if I did. I like the look of the trektop I'm just not sure how it performs in the winter an if youre able to fold it down like a normal softop

The Trektop NX doesn't fold down like a regular top, but gives you the option of running a full top or a bikini style. Additionally, it has a fold back front like the Sunrider. Yes, you can take them up and down like a factory soft top, but it takes a few extra minutes to do so because of the way it is designed.
As far as how it performs in the winter, it's as quiet or maybe even a bit more quiet than the factory top. Same sailcloth material as the factory top, so keeps the warmth in and cold out just as well. Just don't recommend taking them down or trying to put them up and sub-70's weather. The fabric is a tight fit.
