Personally, I will never buy another useless, difficult to remove or install, hardtop! To each his own Jeep. With the new sailcloth, noise isn't a problem with a soft top. The idea that a hard top is warmer in winter than a soft top is a myth. The only time I might consider a hard top for any of my Wranglers would be if I lived in an area where it was common to have several feet of snowfall per day several times during the coldest months of winter,and even then, I'm not sure I would buy the junk fiberglass top! What I have found out over the years, is that the hard top wears out about the same rate as the soft tops. Some of you guys have never riden in a Jeep with the new sail cloth fabric,let alone driven a 2000 or newer Wrangler. It's time you got over the square headlight thing! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> The only advantage of the hard top, in my opinion, is the rear window defrost and rear window wiper if you use the Jeep as a daily driver. The last thing anyone should do is take a Jeep offroad in a hard top, might as well be wheeling your wife's grocery-getter! And, I have to disagree about looks; A wrangler just doesn't look right when decked in a hard top. It's just one of those things, I guess,like the tube bumpers and nerf bars ... ugh! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
