I need a soft top for summer, just too much PIA taking on and off the hard top for every rain. But I want to buy some quick discos. So need some help. Save for the soft top or go ahead and get the jks quicker discos?

I've had both and I can say from experience the hard top is easier and faster to remove and install over the soft top.

I would get the discos and get a bikini top for the rain. Honestly I don't find the hardtop that hard to take off and on

Really I thought it would be easier. And with both of these for the jku is it the same concept for the 2 door?
