Default Ok im torn..

I have a 2 door hard top. I love taking the top off any chance I get. But, I live in an apartment complex so storage is an issue. I was thinking of trading a local guy for his soft top just so I can have it off all the time. But I love the hard top look better then the soft when it's on a jeep.. I have jl audio stuff so I know I'm probably going to have to sell it. :( what do I do?!?!?!

DO NOT sell, trade, or gamble your hard top. Belive me, I have dual tops on my previous jeep and I too loved the soft top. So I thought to myself "I dont need my hard top." So I sold it, totally regreted it later. Just hang on to your hard top and look around you'll find a soft top.

Yeah, don't get rid of the hard top. You'll find you like the option sometimes. At least it's only a 2-door, makes it easier to store than a 4-door. You can always store it upside down and place stuff inside it to make more room... just nothing too heavy.

Hard tops are junk. Soft tops are for year round Jeepers, hard tops are for cars. Sell your hard top an get a new soft top, you wont regret it.

Hardtops are not junk. I find that every "hard core" jeeper seems to make this statement. I really enjoy driving a rig that has excessive noise, rain dripping into everything, and frankly, looks like hell after 6 months when you have the soft top on. Both have a purpose, but to say the hardtop is junk is frankly stupid.
