Picked up the wife's Bronco (4dr BL, 2.7, LUX, tow package) on Saturday and drove it home to CO 875 miles. Yesterday we had everything from snow to 50-60mph wind gusts as we were making our way through NE and northern CO. As a soft top jeep owner, I'm fully aware what to expect from soft top and even during winters. But I'm curious if anyone has replaced the OEM top with the Bestop twill top and what your impressions are.
Reasons why I'm wanting to switch to Bestop:
- OEM wavy side windows drive me crazy.
- have zero use for the rear cargo lift of the OEM soft top.
- way the OEM soft top windows secure up top allow heaps of air to enter the cab.
- my wife won't be lowering the soft top completely to the rear, mainly just flipping the front back and/or removing the windows.
- not a fan of the OEM structural frame on the sides with 2 large dogs that stick their heads out the sides when the windows are removed. Especially when off-roading as this would create a hazard of them bashing their heads or getting wedged in the frame legs/hinges. Also makes for a cleaner look with the trektop when the windows are removed.
- slanted rear of the trektop IMO looks better.
- hoping the twill trektop is a bit quieter.
