I am new to this and have a question for all of you. I have a '10 4 door Rubicon with the stock 3 piece hard top. I purchased the Off Road Hero's fastback soft top. I like the ORH's versitility but I like how quiet the hard top is. I saw the Wild Boar fastback and thought this might be a great combo, but it is $$$$ for a top. Is the Wild Boar worth the money. Thanks for your input.

Yeah but he also wants it quieter, I doubt that applies in your innuendo



I say Noise Shmoise, It ain't a caddy.

I had the Trek Top and did not care for it. I could not get the top to fit correctly and had a gap above the front doors. The ORH top fits well and is very versatile and I think looks good. If you have any other questions let me know. Where do you live? I am actually thinking about selling it if I decide on a Wild Boar top.

I had the Trektop and sent it back for the same reason. Did you have any issues with the ORH company??? Ive read horror stories but I really like the looks. I've been hesitant to get it because of that. Let me know if u decide to sell the ORH, im interested.

WARNING: BUYER BEWARE
The manufacturer of this product is believed to be a Canadian based company called Californiatops. This conclusion was determined by doing research online and by what the author of this post eventually stated in his post here.

Californiatops is a company that has a long history of questionable business practices and they have been banned from eBay and PayPal. This has been documented by the Ripoff Report and can be verified by doing a simple Google search or a search on forums such as JeepsUnlimited.com and RubiconOwners.com. More recently, a member here had purchased a thermal liner from this company while they were still going under the name coloradojeepman and his experience with them can be found here.

I have personally tried contacting this company to acquire a phone number and/or physical address for their stated location in Florida just in case the information I had about them was erroneous and my inquiries were met with hostility and my questions went unanswered. Needless to say, it is our opinion that this company has questionable business practices and would advise against purchasing any of their products.
