TJ’s are rather limited when it comes to looks.
That looks great.
My dislike about the rampage and similar is the rear window doesn’t extend to the rear like the Bestop. Just doesn’t look right to me.
I love the Rampage on the LJ.
Goes from this:
To this:
In about 2 minutes. It's also fairly quick to put the windows back in. Perhaps 5 minutes.
I've gone through quite a few of these as I'm always tearing them up on the trail - but at about $400 it's a good value. Mine is pretty tight - as I built the cage to fit the top - so it's fairly quiet on the road.
I'm personally not a fan of the extra hardware associated to the retractable Sunrider feature in the Trektop NX, but it is a great top as well.
I had no idea that Toys R Us sold cool Jeeps. I knew I should have checked out their Black Friday deals.
Idk if it's the fodeez blurring my vision, but yours looks way better than this:
as opposed to the bestop:
.
Closest thing I could easily find to a side-by-side comparison. The rear windows are close, but shaped just a bit differently. The Rampage window looks to be a bit taller than the Bestop, and the rear angle on the Bestop seems to be closer to matching the angle of the fastback portion of the top.
Are you having a going out of business sale too? I still couldn't afford your Jeep.
I can still dream.
I've heard that the rear window for the Trektop NX is a pain in the ass to install vs. the OEM. Though the OEM is quite the pain in the ass too.
Yeah that sounds about right. Here's a more straight on side by side comparison:
I don't know why, but the shorter rear window bothers me. The proportions on yours somehow make it look great, but on a non-stretched small tire LJ it looks odd. Maybe it'll grow on me.
My only problem with it is zipping that last two inches on not hotter than hell days.
With help it’s pretty quick to put the windows in. Usually leave them out and trail cover it when I can.
I like the custom trail cover attachment brackets. Look like they could be used for other things too!
It is. I ripped mine in less than about a year. I don’t take it off anymore because it will rip and I’ll have to buy a new top.
I have the nx I believe in blackdiamond, personally I think the black diamond sucks.
The only reason the top doesn’t flap because of the aluminum cross bar.
Such a pain to get the windows off. Next time I’m buying the OEM like soft top. I will miss the fastback look.
If the lj is an unlimited then i guess tj's are limited by default?
I keep looking for an lj tub rear half i can use to create a 97 lj. It's my next big jeep project.
