Reader Ride: Texas Jeep

Share your Ride with us. New Jeeps, old Scouts, rock warriors, street cruisers. we want them all.  We’ve sold millions of tops and all sorts of accessories, and we’d love to see them on vehicles out there.

This first one is from Justin Nall of Denton Texas, who tells us:   “This is my 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. It came with the factory hardtop and I installed the Bestop TrekTop to enjoy riding around in the beautiful Texas weather. It’s my daily driver, but I live for the weekend when it’s all top down & sunshine. My favorite addition has been the Bestop “Hood Applique”, I get compliments on it everywhere I go!”

Amy’s Great Day Off

Amy works in customer support here at Bestop, and takes her off-roading seriously. She writes:

Taking my jeep off road in the mud and off road trails has been a passion for me since I bought my first jeep in 2000. Since then I have gone to numerous trails and mud pits and had some of the best times of my life. Taking my jeep off road gave a whole new meaning to “It’s a jeep thing” for me. I have taken my jeep to numerous trails in Colorado. Some of these trails have had a lower rating and some a higher rating on the trail rating scale. I have climbed rocks that look intimidating and thought to myself that I could never get over that. The excitement and fun in climbing these trails to the top of a mountain is unexplainable. My favorite trails so far have been Wheeler Lake and Red Cone/Radical hill in Colorado. These trails rate some of the most difficult in the state and are well worth the intimidation to climb them.
