Bestop choices

[Old Hippie]

I read a few articles on here about soft tops, and it seems the universal opinion is Bestop. When I bought my '99, that's what came on it. It's starting to look a little shabby and has a few tiny holes in the top, so I'm thinking of replacing it. One of the excellent articles I read had illistrations that showed that my frame was indeed a Bestop Supertop frame. I really don't want to have to chase down an original Jeep frame, so the Supertop is they way I plan on going. The sailcloth top is a bit more money than I care to spend, but the Black Denim and the Black Diamond are fairly reasonable. Anyone know the pros and cons of either/both?

as far as I know the black denim and black diamond are more or less the same except in appearance - the black diamond is a darker black whereas the denim has some gray to it.

Never had sailcloth so I can't comment on that, but I've been happy with the Black Diamond of my Trektop NX.

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that the black diamond has a five year guarantee while the denim only has two. Does your NX take the Bestop frame or the factory frame?

the trektop nx is a frameless top.

Does your top have the OEM style surrounds or the old style Bestop ones? The new Bestop top kits come with the PEM style surrounds, which are a better design. Bestop couldn't sell them aftermarket at first due to a patent.

I believe they're the old style Bestop. I haven't been caught in any typhoons, but they seem to work ok.

the trektop nx is a frameless top.

And is the best looking IMO.
