If you are looking to buy a Jeep Wrangler in the near future, there may be one question you keep asking yourself: Hardtop or soft top? While it may seem like a simple question, there are pros and cons to each. While Wrangler hardtops provide more protection, soft tops are easier to remove and less expensive to replace. However, no matter what Wrangler top you choose, you’re sure to have a blast driving your Jeep on and off the trail!

Stocking up on Jeep must-haves is especially important for the summer season! Trails aren’t immune to the heat and neither is your Wrangler. Taking the top off may allow some cool air to breeze through the Jeep, but it’s not going to stop the sizzling summer sun from beating down on you. Accessories such as summer tops and sun shades can help make off-roading in the summer cooler — literally!

A soft-top Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator requires diligent care to make sure that the roof doesn’t get damaged over the years. Check out our guide on how to clean your 4x4’s soft top.
