Yep, spring is coming and it's time to start talking about soft tops. The PO sold the soft top and all I got is a hard one. Could anyone recommend a soft top that's appropriate for Cagary.
I've got a black 2001 TJ, no hardware whatsoever, and I'm kinda leaning towards the Rampage fast back style. Theoretically I don't want any top on, and kind of feel like risking just a bikini style doorless, but I'm not sure if that's a very viable option.
Thoughts?

Bestop has complete kits with many options. I've installed many bestop tops and they are top notch and worth the money.

I run the stock soft top year around. Personally, I would never put on a hard top....
For the warm months, I often run around with no windows for weeks on end... but having the option to zip up when needed is nice. It is Calgary after all.
There should be some soft tops up for sale soon.... always are some.

Another vote for Bestop. I bought one for my old CJ and found it to be superior to the old Kayline top that the previous owner had on it. Found it was not too bad in -30C here in Calgary even with the CJ's lackluster heater. The Bestop Supertop even came with an instructional video to aid in setup. Do some shopping around as these tops are over $800 the last time I looked.

Thanks guys, it's hard to take advice from people in Florida on what kind of top to get...

This was my first year running the factory soft top all winter. No issues at all. Only reason I missed the hardtop was to carry the snowboards on the roof rack (Cherokee rails + Thule carrier). Other then that, wish I sold the damn thing in fall.
If you go with the rampage style, lemme know, maybe we can save on shipping.
