With the warm weather approaching I find myself regretting purchasing a hard top. I'm looking at getting a frameless soft top to run in the spring, summer, and fall months. My question is, is there any frameless soft tops out there other then bestop and rampage? I'm looking for something simple and cheap, dont really care for or need the freedom top feature. Basically I would like something that I can easily take off completely (not just a safari top, I would like to be completely topless) but also keep in the jeep incase of rain. Any options here?

 

Smittybilt makes one but I have never seen any reviews on it. I don't know if it is not any good or if it's newer and no one has bought but I subscribed

 

Looks nice but how easy is it to take the actual top off. The rampage top looks like a better option IMO.

 

IMHO I just purchased a Trektop NX and love it. I was considering a Rampage until I saw it on a jeep. Although, it is nice it looked like they do not wear well. My wife even mentioned it and suggested we get the trektop and both of us love it. Yes, they are more money but worth it. I do see members selling them slightly used and reasonably priced. Where I live now I have not been able to take the top off due to the weather. Now i'll just use it as a bikini top and flip the top back and run my Safari straps underneath it.

 

There really isn't a comparison in the quality and fitment between Bestop's Trektop NX and the others Rampage, Pavement Ends and Smittybilt. Though the Pavement ends is the closest, being made by Bestop, but using cheaper fabric, and less stitching plus having to use your OEM header and surrounds (which if you bought yours with the hardtop you won't have).

For what it's worth after the initial install, removing and installing the top only takes a couple minutes.

 

I have the Off-road Heroes fastback top and really like it. No frames, no bows, just simple hardware. Completely modular so you can take off the front seat section, back seat section and fastback independently or all together. I store the fastback in the back, the backseat cover rolls up and fits under the back seat and the front section rolls forward and snaps. Made of OEM Jeep top fabric with tinted rear windows. Typically a very long wait time because these are hand made in small batches. Mine was worth the wait.
