Default Best soft top with hardware

Looking to get a soft top for the jeep. Have a 2011 unlimited. Don't have any hardware or a top. Just curious as to who makes a good quality aftermarket soft top or if MOPAR is the way to go?

Scrapped my Mopar in 2013 for an Off Road Heros Top. Much easier to put on and take completely off and more versatile. But you are too late to order one for this summer, they take forever to get. And if you aren't patient, it will drive you nuts. Of course all of this is only my opinion.

I ordered a Bestop Supertop NX Twill top. It's my understanding that Bestop makes the Mopar top. I've used their Replace-a-top on an older Jeep and liked it.

Same here. The cheapest route would be to find a oem take-off on craigslist.

Bestop makes the factory tops.

I'm interested in opinions too. I got my JKU over winter with a hard top only. I like the look of the fast back style. I saw one from Bestop and read about the offroad heroes. Any thoughts between the two? Any other fastback types out there? If the lead time is too long for the offroad heroes (and it's the best choice). I could get a used factory soft top in to tie me over. I'll be keeping my hardtop for the New England winter.

A lot of people on here like the Trektop. I didn't like mine. I preferred the factory style soft top, because it's easier to use, especially if it's cool when you put it back on. The Trektop fits really tight, and the seam in the top began to fail the first year & leak when it rained hard.

I just finished installing a Bestop Supertop NX Twill. First impressions are good. It looks great, and seems to be quieter than a factory top. It's tight! I'll post up a pic, tomorrow, when I get more daylight.
