Besttop makes a soft slant top called the Trektop. Retails for around $600.




Wild Boar makes a slant back hard top. It can be a solid top, T-top, single moon roof, or double moon roof. A bit pricy but appears to be worth it. I believe it starts around $3000.

I don't have any personal experience with either top, but after reading reviews of both, they both seem to be high quality.

I like the look of the hard top but at $3000+, I won't be getting one soon.

Yeah that hard top is sweet....but I wont be paying $3000 dollars for it.

I've seen the Best Top's I just don't want to buy a piece of junk that will leak the first time it rains.

Default Trektop

If you take your time and put the Trektop on correctly, you will not have any leaking. I have the Trektop and I love the looks. It is easy to put on and easy to take off. The only problem I have had is wind noise on the driver's side at the front door. This seems to be a common occurence though and can be easily fixed with some weatherstriping. I also make sure when it rains that after I get in, I push up on the inside of the top so all the water that has collected runs off. Just make sure you do this with the doors shut...

I had a soft top....leaked and didnt like the look function

I had a hard top...liked it but needed space and sold for money

I have a trektop I got used...looks awesome on 4 doors not so much on 2 doors IMO.

It has never leaked, makes a little noise but not much more than soft top, easy to install and take off, no moving frame parts.

I will never go back to a regular soft top from the trek top. My only complaint is the ease of use for the back window. Its hard to get a complete seal fit and its a pain to take on and off. Other than that I love it.

What about the offroad tops? I hear the owner is a real pita, but the tops are real cool!. Saw one last weekend and they look pretty good. Believe the run over $1K and have a long lead time.
