id get a soft top when you can, also go with tinted windows

myne came with clears and I really wish i had tinted...can buy them seperate but dont really want to spend the money where it could go to way better things i need

 

I live in FL, and I went with the bestop bikini, wind jammer and dust cover. I like it, takes a little work to get it on. Also it's a little noisey, a lot of flapping when it's windy. I think the standard soft top is a better fit as this setup is also not rain proof. I stick with it as I have it and I enjoy the look. But if I had to do it over I would have gone with the standard soft top. (Had to also find the door surrounds seperately.)

 

I can't wait for summer so I can buy a spiderweb shade and store the hardtop.

 

Thanks for the honest input

 

Agreed, that is a good post.

 

Is anybody running the smittybilt cargo netting with nx trextop in safari mode any pics on 2 door?

 

This is good advice, I agree. I also live in Florida. I have the factory top. My tub is lined, so even if it is a downpour, I just want to get the top up to protect the dash and steering wheel. It also protects the front seats (and thus my butt) from getting soaked. The windows are not absolutely necessary. I keep whatever cargo I have on board in a big plastic box. I have been considering switching to the Trektop NX. Most of the time I would run with it in safari mode, and it looks great that way. The windows would go in only for longer highway rides or if the weather is particularly bad.
