Default 2010 hardtop

I found a 2010 JKU 3 piece hardtop for $600, no windows or front parts, should I buy? I need a hardtop, so my woman says.

Oh, and I have a 2008. It will fit on my Jeep, right?

How much about are the windows and front panels? If anyone knows?

They can get pricy..you'll probably end up in the 1500-1700 range when it's all said and done.but if u can find the pieces u can build it in stages. Yes it will fit on ure 08 no problem. Depending on where you're located i have a full 4 door hardtop with tinted widows for sale that came off an 2008.

I've got $626 to spend, and I'm hoping to talk the guy down to $500. I figured If I can pick up each part at $100 it would put at a $1000 project by next winter.

I'm pretty sure you could buy one in good shape cheaper than you could buy that one and replace the panels and glass. I suggest you keep saving.

Thx for the advice. I did some prelim searching and the price of all the windows and panels would be $1200+, and that's if I'm lucky. At $150 each panel (hopeful), and $150 each special glass... Too much

I'm going to go for a complete top when i pull the trigger someday.

IMO hard tops are overrated anyway!
Spend your $$$ on something else!
