HELP! Soft Top advice needed.

I need a soft top for my JK Unlimited.

Should I go with Factory of after market?

Can you recommend the best after market soft top?

Thank you very much!

Where are the factory half doors? Revolution!!!!
Has them on every page in the brochure and my dealer told me I could get them.

I cannot get them. I feel angry.

If there's difference in price between the Bestop and factory, go with the cheapest since the are exactly the same. Bestop as been supply Jeep with tops for years.

I'll be looking @ a Bestop unless I get a deal on a lightly used factory top.

My soft top is still in boxes and says "Made for Mopar by Bestop" on each box.

BTW, it's for sale.

Thanks! I had no idea the Supertop was fixed and cannot open above drive and back seating area. Does any after market company make a top like the Sunrider?

What about those fast back soft tops, who makes those?

What do you mean nameless?

The Fastback style top like mine, that must remain nameless on this site, does open the roof section.

Do you have a company which you are able to name?
I heard Bestop may be coming out with one.
