Trek Top is cheaper anyways...possibly with more features. I'm just not sure about rolling the entire top forward...it will either take lotsa time to make tight and neat, looking like your Jeep just has bangs. Even worse, you can do what I do all the time...rush...and then your jeep looks like a DOUCH!!! Try taking your side windows off, rolling up your rear window, and using the sunrider. I can do that in about 5 minutes and it's very open air. The side windows will store in the back and you will have rain protection.

My wife and I fight about this, but I keep the jeep unlocked. When I park in the garage at work I just try to make sure nothing nice is visible (including gps mounts, ipod cables, ect...) Better have someone open my door and look for something then cut my 500.00 top looking for something.

My 2 cents.

I do the same thing, even though people can just unzip rear windows and get in I am sure that some of these "Thugs" are dumb enough to slice up the top or break a window to get in.

I leave my jeep unlocked, and I know for a fact that it has been rummaged through before, but all I have lost so far is a $20 LED flashlight.

Just so you know, there are many happy Offroad Heros owners out there. He is sometimes slow and definitely communicatively disordered, but he always delivers. While there are many threads about about Trek top (and Bestop in general) quality issues, there are none anywhere I've ever seen about the quality of the Offroad Heros top. If someone doesn't like rolling the top up fine, but this thread is about fastest, easiest. If someone THINKS it might look look like douche fine, but shouldn't they really look at one first before ?

Best money spent on her so far.

Is Alberta really that bad or are you just over protective of your lady
Hey, I'm looking at an alarm as well, mind if I ask where you had it installed and how much? PM if you want...
