JK owners

[Hooligan]

you should (if you haven't already) go drive both, I found very little difference in noise between the soft/hard tops.. the thing I like about the soft top is you can put it up/down whenever you want, no hoist, no sitting at work saying damn I wish I could lose the top today etc.. Most people I know with the hard top take it off in the summer and run it for winter.. Plus 2013 is supposed to have some new-fangled premium soft top with spring assist raise/lower feature making it uber simple to put up/down and be as quite as the hard top..

Yeah, I've spent a lot of time in the hard top model, but not the soft top. My plan also calls for taking it to CO and NM periodically, and I'd rather have the hard top for longer treks. And I work from home, so using the top hoist would be relatively easy when needed.

Waiting to see what the '13s will have compared to the '12s. All I really want is a decent color selection over this year's, and I will put my order in.

My biggest hurdle now, is that the local dealership just got closed for them to redevelop the block. Going to be a longer drive to a newer dealer, old one had been selling Jeeps since the 1950's, other one has only been selling them since the 2008 reorg.

I like having both tops. I have a hard top with doors for the winter and another hard top without windows for the summer that I run door less.

Neighbor who's 16 year old totaled his a few months ago has put the half doors in his shed for me.

Me too, but I got kids that can fall out now and have to be semi-responsible when I put them in the top heavy deathtrap with out a roof.

 

[ccsp]

You couldn't afford both?

Sure I can. That would not be very responsible. If I was gonna have 2 new vehicles it would not be two Jeeps.

But I have to say, my BubbleJ and YJ combo was pretty sweet.

Strap them down. My cooler stays put

Do you need a lift kit for those?

There should be a chapter on this in the owners manual.

That's a shame Kenny. Toys are meant to enjoy!

Oh I enjoy it. Just hate driving it long distances like to work and back.

 

[Wharf Rat]

Lots of raar there.

I'd get the stick shift anyway. Leaning toward doing this in a month or two when the '13s first start arriving.

The manuals have a TON issues. I'd think twice about that if i were you.

 

[Wharf Rat]

Quieter and it's only $750. I want to get a full length safari top and a hoist for it. I doubt i would ever want to run a full soft top. Either top up (cold or really hot weather) or safari top.

Trektop NX.

Sounds like a lemon. A new JK should ride just fine Why didnt you buy a Sahara instead? Prolly rides better without the 1980s BFG MTs

A Chrysler automatic is preferred over a manual? That sounds like a great idea.
