Why is that guy peeing on the bushes? And yes these white topped Jeeps :sick:
Iā€™m guessing thatā€™s what he thinks of the color combination! Piss on it!

I dont get the love for a white top. Yeah the classics had them but that doesn't always translate to looking good today.

Vinyl roofs on muscle cars looked great back in the day but I don't see anyone beating down the door for a vinyl roof option now

1971 grabber green with white based loosely on the 60's Ford trucks paint schemes.

I don't get the love for a black top. It soaks up heat and looks like 90% of the Jeeps out there (plain and dull).

Fair, I don't get it either but it looks better to me than white......if you want my honest opinion body color looks best lol

ITS HIDEOUS BECAUSE IT HAS 4 DOORS. Its never gonna look right to the eye with 4 doors and a white top because we've been looking at 2 doors with white tops for 55 years now.
You are right until you are wrong. My first car was a ā€˜67 with a white top. Fast forward 35 years add a family of two more plus a working dog and another working dog in the next two years. Suddenly the four door looks awesome.

The two door version of this jeep looks much better in person. I agree it would look even better if the doors didn't have the full body color frame, but the 2 door still looks a lot better than the 4 door.

I have been an unwavering white top guy due to my love of the original Bronco. Then I saw this jeep today. Absolutely hideous.

When I think about why I hate it vs the original Bronco, I think it comes down to all of the dark gray parts on todays vehicles, primarily bumpers (formerly white or chrome), mirrors (same), door handles (formerly chrome) and attached wheel fenders (non existent on original uncut Broncos). Placed in the context of all this dark gray plastic, the white top on the Jeep looks cartoonish not classic.

Given all of this, I am rethinking the white top. Instead, I may embrace the gray MIC top, as it pretty closely matches all these other gray parts. Key to me is that the paint color and all the dark gray trim and MIC top color complement each other. Safest play is probably Carbonized Gray. But I am leaning AMB. I saw it on an F150 in the Florida sun last week and it was just stunning. Yes dark, but rich in color, nice metallic flake and clearly blue in the sun. (Btw, no purple.) I can see AMB going well on a Sas Badlands with all that gray trim and Carbon Grey Fifteen 52 wheels.

Am I alone on this white top perspective?

This is the only real deal we have to go off of but it looks awesome to me. Not really sure about the door handles but I will leave that up to others that want to try it. There is also that Rapid Red one that had the primer gray top that looked really good. I am taking mine right from the dealer to the vinyl shop and I am really hoping its not a $300 mistake. If it is, I can peel it off:p

Wanted to revisit this topic since Ford has released news of the Heritage edition with white tops and opinions on the 2DR vs. 4DR.

Recently saw a cactus gray with white hard top driving around. It looked really good.

I do like the white top and it makes a lot of sense in the heat but if I ever do get my Heritage I am toying on swapping the white top for stock gray plus cash to make up some price difference over base...
