So my top is starting to give out on me. The back window zipper separated and I had to go to an upholstery shop to get it fixed. Anyway, thinking about a new top come spring time. Maybe a frameless like the Bestop Trektop NX. Any thoughts?
I never cared much for the frameless top look. However, if you like that look, you can't go wrong with the Bestop, that's for certain.
Can never go wrong using Bestop. I have a Pavement Ends (Budget offering from BT) frame less. I needed an entire top, quickly, and on a budget so I chose the frame less. Great top, easy install, quiet (all relative), and looks good. You do lose a bit of head room for rear passengers, if that is a concern. However, I do prefer the look of the standard top.
When we first bought our jeep, we found a couple rips in the top next to the front windows and the plastic glass was all scratched , so we kept the frame and ordered a new top from Bestop (on of the thicker ones ) It is great. I ordered the areospace protector spray and I put it on as recommended and it looks great. To me the frame works great and never gets in the way.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the look so much as the utility of the framless - at least my perceived utility vs the stock style soft top. But I've been thinking more on it and I've kinda swung back to just getting a replacement top for the stock frame. Either way, luckily it's getting to be winter, so I have time to save up some cash.
Lately I've just been repairing the small things that have built up over the years that weren't immediate problems but basic maintenance items needed to be addressed on a 20 year old vehicle. One of those things what redoing the battery connections. I'm normally not too proud of my shade tree mechanic skills, but I think these turned out pretty well.
