Looking for advice. Hardtop or not in SoCal?

Gonna be moving to the San Diego area in about a year from MA and I'm thinking about selling my hardtop before the move. I really don't think I'll ever have a need for it once I'm out there but I was recently there on vacation and every Mall Crawler had theirs on. Mines a daily driver but I still take it off road, more mods coming soon.

I have a soft top as well as a Spiderweb Shade and plan to add the Tuffy Security Deck before the move. I don't typically leave anything of importance unlocked in the Jeep when the soft top is on.

Would love to read your thoughts. Thanks

 

Soft top for sure. I sold my hardtop and do not regret it one bit.

 

SOFT TOP!!!! I sold mine about a month after I got my JK. Mall crawler, off road, or daily driver....its always nice to be able to put the top down whenever you want. It's Cali baby!!!!

 

Sell the hardtop. You can always get another one if you miss it.

 

Will you have a garage to keep it in at night? It might not ever happen but a soft top makes it easier to steal and take across the border.

 

Hardtop if ur into winter sports.. I have a snowboard rack mounted on my hardtop. So I say keep both.. U may just need it.. If u don't use it in a year.. Then sell it

 

Every convertible I've owned has been cut open here in SD. The doors were'nt locked, but the loosers cut first and can't seem to operate a zipper. My softop leaked from day one and the dealer couldn't "duplicate" the leak.
Have a Freedom top now and Love it, but do miss the softtop. Dealer's choice.

 

Yeah because they will never break the glass , had a hard top loved how quiet it was but what a pain to take off if you don't have somewhere to store it

Sold to buy a trektop and have never look back

 

I didn't say the hardtop is thief proof. That is why I said, "easier to steal"....duh

 

Go with a hardtop and soft top for the sunny outdoor days. If I were you, I would even take advantage of living in Cali and buy yourself a Wild Boar Hardtop, since you wouldn't have to pay a crap load for shipping. I bought mine and a Trektop for a softie, nice combo if you ask me
