Well I haven't noticed it. And the wieght is on the rear tires, so that would help keep them on the ground for more traction=faster response time.

If it made a difference.

Just my opinon though....

How noisey is the soft top compared to the hardtop?

How well does the AC keep the inside cool with the soft top?

It is slightly louder than the hard top in two ways 1) you get a little more wind noise at the header and 2) there is more environmental noise from the rear.

Not too bad at all though...

No comment on the AC. Hasn't been than warm here yet...

Dual Tops is awsome, You can change with the weather, Im in MD and the weather here goes from good to bad in pretty rough ways. The Hard top was awsome for when the weather was cold and rainy/snow. But once i saw a good week. Soft top time and no looking back till the weather goes back to winter. But yes, the jeep does drive, handle and feel better with the soft top. The hard top is pretty good looking though. Really pulls it together haha

Totally agree. I put the hard-top on for winter, and the soft on for the other 3 seasons... pain in the butt to remove the hard-top, but only have to do it once a year!
