Default Hard top help

Santa was good this year and provided enough cookies and milk to replace my aging soft top with a hard top.
Question is what is the quietest and driest top for a 2 dr JK?
Is it the factory 3 piece or one of the after-market one or two piece tops.
We tow the jeep behind the motor home for about half the year and it is primarily used for transportation with occasional off road forays
so creature comfort wins out in this case.

Buy Mopar (factory) hard top. Search on craigslist, eBay, or here on forums before you ever think about buying new.

I got my OEM hardtop and love it. . . I think any hardtop will be a huge diff in road noise . . Summer will be back with my soft top. .

Thumbs up Oem

Get a factory Mopar hardtop. There are lots of horror stories about fitment of aftermarket makes.

Definitely get an original hardtop and add the interior insulation . It makes a massive difference in the quietness and A/C efficiency in summer.
