Here is a pic of my trektop nx, just got it yesterday and installed yesterday. It was not a difficult install I would say if possible let the top sit out in the sun for a bit, should make it go on a little easier.I really like the look of it. Taking on and off will take some getting used to if you have been using the traditional soft top that just folds back.

Default Soft top's

I highly recommend the Bestop "Trektop NX" too whoever is looking for a great top that will set them apart from all the others who have the factory, or aftermarket tops that look like the factory top. Also, I highly recommend the SmittyBuilt C.Res system cargo net. Both of these will make a great addition to your top collection.

Any pics of what it looks like when it's down and stored in the back?

Here are a couple of pics of the top down. You can see that I did bungee on the jeep because it is just laying there and nothing is really holding on. It took about 10 min to take down but it was the 1st time I had taken it down. I put it back up in 12 min. vs the 1.5 hours it took to get on the first time. It is not as easy as the stock soft top to get up and down but the look of it more than makes up for it. I hope this helps.

How far back can you roll the Trektop top? Can you roll it to the trunk?

The new Trektop NX doesn't roll back, you can either flip it back exposing the driver/passenger (much like the factory sunrider) or completely remove it.

Pretty sure the original Trektop rolls though.

So if I am understanding correct. The Trek Top you just purchased and installed can

1) Front "Flips Back" (Sunrider mode)
2) Remove 3 rear windows (Safari Top)
3) Remove entirely and bungee as shown in your pics in less than 10 minutes.

If above is all true then this is the top I am looking for.

Whom ever the vender is that has a sale on these tops if above is true shoot me a PM with your best offer.

I have the same questions, with the top folded back, does that include the top portion that covers the driver and passenger? So its completely topless just as the stock soft top would be?


Thanks for the pics btw, great help!
