Best Top Soft Top for OEM Hard top LJ/TJ unlimited

[tbrock]

Hello, I’ve tried searching here. Please link it if you’ve found a thread. But I have an OEM hardtop LJ and wanted to buy a soft top to make it easier in the summer months. Has anyone had experience purchasing the LJ soft top from Best Top and know whether it is a clean fit for OEM hardtops? If not does anyone know what other parts are required or other soft tops that do fit the OEM Hard top LJ’s? Thanks

It requires the factory original hardware. A frameless top would require less stuff.

I would stay away from the Bestop Supertop for the LJ. I bought one last year and the fit is absolutely horrible to the point of being too loose to be usable. I’ve had a warranty case open with them since August for it, but they don’t seem to have any interest in addressing the issues.

I have the Bestop Trektop. It was easy-ish to install and fits good.

I'm in California too. I have the Bestop Trek Top NX (frameless) on my LJ. The side and rear windows zip off leaving you with a full bimini style top. The front part of the top flips back over the front seats, although I've never used it this way. I run without windows and doors for about half the year. I don't even use my hardtop anymore. I don't commute and I do have a backup ride.
