Do you have a video of the installation for this same top but for a 2003 jeep wranlger?

[@greybeardjeep5176]

Thank You for posting this informative video, the top didn't come with instructions and made it a frustrating task. So I did a search on youtube and found this young lady. Thank You so much who ever you are.

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@hauntedmoonbooks]

Thanks for the awesome step by step video--it made installation much easier! I love the top--it's super versatile and high quality! Thanks again!!!

[@SirGalahad99]

Awesome video. I am planning on buying this top, and now feel confident that I can install it myself.

[@extremeterrain]

Awesome, Dexter! Bestop makes some really great stuff, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! -Zach

[@nelsonmartinez1142]

Great instructional video. We tried to put the soft top for the 1st time using the instructions that came with the video. That was confusing and frustrating. We later watched this video and it saved us tons of time!

[@extremeterrain]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@cpkay33]

installed mine over the weekend thanks to assistance with this video. pretty tedious tbh, how the heck do you secure the velcro above the soundbar?! also my rear right panel isn't aligning up and I managed to crack off the hook. anyone else have this issue? is the hardware alignment that sensitive. really bummed.

[@Raydawg]

nope full convertible is the only way to go. Is there any options for full conv. ? in this style top?

[@AKguy74]

Had one on my 2 door JK. Loved it!

[@JOHN-ej2wp]

Excellent video. Thank you for doing it. It has given me the confidence to attempt the install myself this weekend.

[@extremeterrain]

Thank you for watching! -Zach

[@trevorlee7945]

My OEM soft top got damaged due to low garage height and I have to replace a rail . I think the JL design is ridiculously more complicated than Wranglers of the past . I will either replace it with a Hardtop or this Best Top Targa design it has to be an improvement .

[@alexcesare8097]

Serious question... isn’t the point of a soft top to make it easier to take on and off compared to a hard top? How long does it take to take the entire thing off, and put it on after the hardware is already installed?

[@Dobronxxx]

Absofuckinglutely, for 1200 dollar that’s bullshit

[@simondavis9662]

It doesn’t take long at all

[@halhashmi]

Thank you for the excellent step by step video that made the installation much easier than the installation manual.

[@extremeterrain]

Thank you for watching! -Zach

[@off-peakmedia]

Like the wheel & tire setup. Possible to detail that?...lift?...refs to offerings on XT, of course. Thanks in advance.

[@extremeterrain]

They're Mammoth D Window Black Steel Wheels in a 17x9" wrapped in a 285/70R17 Falken Wildpeak AT tire! No lift! I'll post some links below for you! -Zach www.extremeterrain.com/mammoth-jeep-wrangler-jl-d-window-black-steel-wheel-17x9-j100952-jl.html www.extremeterrain.com/falken-wildpeak-allterrain-jeep.html

My favourite part was when the music went “doot doot doot doot dooooot”

[@zacharyrodriguez1198]

WHERE CAN I FIND THE HARDTOPS FOR THESE JLS??? I dont like these new soft tops and seeing the bars are annoying

[@fares5626]

I'm from Saudi Arabia are you can ship the soft top to Saudi????????????????

[@GaryGill786]

Hi could you please tell the difference between the two 1. Jeep 4 door JL UNLIMITED SAHARA… mopar premium soft top ( came with Jeep ) Vs 2. Bestop ultra soft top twill….. R they same fabric ( premium and twill )

[@HondaFamily88]

My wife and I want a soft top for our JL 2-door. After some online research, it looks like our options currently are: OEM (choice of two fabrics) Bestop Trektop (choice of two fabrics) I like the fastback design of the Trektop. It's quite a bit cheaper than the OEM but it doesn't retract all the way. For those who have the Trektop, do you have any regrets? Do you wish it retracted all the way back?

[@cartermackenzie1135]

Personally It does not bother me too much, my only issue is with the zippers when it is cold outside

[@davidgallardo1888]

There’s one from suntop

[@RandomVelocity]

I agree. A top especially a permanent one like this should retract all the way. SMH.

[@greybeardjeep5176]

@@cartermackenzie1135 I hear you, those zipper are finger killers, I'm afraid to use pliers because they could damage the zippers and you would have to buy a new back door.

[@greybeardjeep5176]

I couldn't be happier with my Bestop Trektop, I just take the windows off and flip the front half back, its like not having any top on at all, if a rain shower comes out of no where I flip the front half back down and I stay dry. I Love It.

[@q80aziz]

That is the trouble : It is not completely convertible and no one offers something that does not require unzipping and pulling side panels out . The nearest you can get to a truly convertible top is the powered Mytop but then again it requires deep pockets 🤔

[@ChrisGregoire79]

Any video on removal for the winter, or should I watch in reverse?

[@extremeterrain]

You're pretty much looking at the same process except in reverse! I would recommend reaching out to Bestop directly to see if they have a set of dedicated removal instructions. Us here at XT do not though. -Zach

[@cartermackenzie1135]

are there any roof racks that will work with this top?

[@UGotTheFunk]

No roof racks are designed for a soft top. You will have to get a roof cage instead.

[@cartermackenzie1135]

@@UGotTheFunk do you know of any?

[@bankaiz3468]

Just here for them buns 😍😌 great video y’all 👏👏lol

[@darrendaine4914]

I changed my mind as soon as I saw a zipper Why can't it be like the Bronco and be Velcro

[@regmartin688]

Awesome job you made it look easy. Thanks.

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@willito1211]

A hard top can still be put on a wrangler even though it has a soft top correct?

[@extremeterrain]

Absolutely! There's no physical difference in the body between a Jeep equipped with a hardtop from the factory compared to one equipped with a soft top from the factory. As long as you take the soft top and all of its hardware (the bow assembly, door surrounds, brackets, tailgate and header bar, etc) off before you attempt to install the hard top, everything will fit fine. -Zach

[@drewneutral7787]

I purchased a new soft top for my Jeep wrangler through Extreme Terrain. The 4th time I went to put the top back up two zippers broke. I contacted them about the warranty and they said to send them pictures proving it was broken. I did that and they showed it was clearly broken. They would not send me a replacement until they received the broken one back. Then I was told the replacement would ship "as soon as" they see movement with the return. Meaning my vehicle had to be left exposed to and driven in the weather and rain. Once I sent the return I contacted them with the tracking information and was told now it would take two days before the replacement would ship. This is a terrible company.

[@greybeardjeep5176]

Extreme Terrain and Quadratec were two of the greatest places for one stop Jeep mods, that was before the government force the country to shut down for covid19, after covid19 they are nothing but problems with bad customer service. Maybe with a little more time to get their work force back they will improve, cross your fingers but don't hold your breath.

[@darrendaine4914]

If they still have zippers on the back window that would be a no for me

[@ThomasHasselbach]

Great video. Installed the top today. Helped a lot! One question: Why didn’t you show how you closed the velcro pads underneath the rollbar? 😉

[@ValLeddy-vo3sy]

100% this!!! She should have showed us how she did it, cause it’s not fun. Literally the hardest part lol

[@LeandroFTW]

This is awesome!

[@timjohnson6457]

So is this supposed to be permanent? If I want to go from my hardtop to this soft top with a loctite prevent me from backing those screws out?

[@mharper5522]

No, that loctite is easily backed out. Avoid the RED colored loctite....that the perm kind...the yellow that they use is used so the bolts don't back out as the top gives and takes....

[@Helloitsmeagain12345]

2hrs??😅

[@cosmokenney]

So this is a permanent install? In other words, putting my hard top on for the winter requires removal of all the bestop hardware??

[@extremeterrain]

I wouldn't consider this install permanent, but you would have to uninstall the soft-top hardware in order to re-install a hardtop. In other words, the factory hardtop will not fit over the soft top hardware if left installed. -Zach

[@4-MinuteMiles]

@@extremeterrain Lok-tite... seems kinda permanent to me.

[@RandomVelocity]

Nice looking top and I like the fast back look but I wouldn’t buy a top especially a permanent one like this that doesn’t retract all the way. SMH

[@LukeEdward]

If anyone in Florida does not want your 2-door JL hardtop anymore, I would be willing to buy this, bring it to you, help you remove your JL 2-Door hardtop, and instal this for you - all in exchange for your hard top.

[@alnelson1437]

Great instruction!! It helped so much. BUT ZIPPERS?, COME ON! MAJOR DESIGN FLAW

[@OriginalTeddy]

The one for the JK had a way better design. No zippers, fully retractable, even a simple release to take it right off the jeep. Why such a downgrade? My OEM softop took some damage and this is the first one I looked for. Couldn't bring myself to "add to cart" for this one... sorry. Might have to rig something up and look around more... or just get another OEM. 🙄

[@isachar2013]

What's up with that stupid giant bestop logo in the rear top side??? What are they thinking?????

[@lancykmali8815]

❤

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@thechad3275]

This top is junk DO NOT BUY mine is falling apart in less than a year and Bestop won't do anything for me

[@tooxlent]

Your fingernails were killing me

[@frederickisavian4676]

Really you have to show every nut and bolt removal and install?!

[@extremeterrain]

It is a full review and install, afterall. 😁 Thanks for watching. -Zach
