Halftop Jeep Soft Tops
Jeep Halftop soft tops are for Wrangler drivers who want an open-air look that stands out on the trail and around town. This Bestop original is a modular, half-cab system that shifts from full coverage to an open back in minutes, with a flip-back Sunrider for fresh air the moment you want it.
Frequently Asked Questions
A Jeep Halftop soft top is a modular, half-cab top that covers the front seats while leaving the rear cargo area open by default. It gives your Wrangler a distinctive open-back look you can reconfigure in minutes: run all three components for full coverage, remove panels for open air, or flip the integrated Sunrider for a quick breeze. It is a Bestop original built for drivers who want something different.
The Halftop fits the Jeep Wrangler JK and JL in both 2-door and 4-door configurations. Fitment is specific to your vehicle, so confirm your exact year, make, and model with the Bestop YMM fitment tool or customer service before ordering. Choosing the right fit up front keeps installation straightforward.
The Halftop Soft Top is a complete three-piece system that installs on your Jeep Wrangler JK or JL on its own. The Halftop Conversion Kit instead adds the half-cab look to a soft top you already own by replacing the rear sections of a Bestop Trektop. The Conversion Kit is built for the Trektop soft top and is not compatible with the Trektop Ultra, so contact customer service to confirm your setup. Both install with no drilling.
No. Both the Halftop Soft Top and the Halftop Conversion Kit install with no drilling. They use your Jeep's existing mounting points and Bestop hardware for a clean, factory-style fit. For step-by-step guidance, Bestop's installation resources walk you through it.
Flip the integrated Sunrider panel back and you get fresh air in seconds while it stays attached to the top. A zippered rear window adds extra airflow whenever you want it. Together they make quick, everyday open-air easy, so you can enjoy the breeze on a whim.
The Halftop is available in two premium fabrics: Black Diamond and Premium Twill. Black Diamond is a marine-grade vinyl with a smooth, glossy finish, while Premium Twill is a richer textile weave with a true-black look and a more refined feel. Both are engineered to hold their shape and resist UV and the elements, so your choice comes down to the style you want. You can compare Bestop fabrics on the soft top material comparison page.
The Conversion Kit is designed to work with the Bestop Trektop (part number 56863-17), and it is not compatible with the Trektop Ultra. Because Trektop variants differ, confirm your specific top with Bestop customer service before ordering. That quick check makes sure the kit's rear sections mate cleanly with your existing top.
The Halftop is a half-cab design at its core, and that is exactly what gives it its signature look. It covers the front seats and leaves the rear cargo area open by default, and you can still run all three components together for full coverage when you want it. If you prefer the classic full-top style, the Bestop Trektop and Supertop families deliver it.
The Half-Cab Look, Made Modular
Your Jeep Wrangler was built to let the outside in, and the Halftop makes that its signature. The half-cab silhouette keeps the front seats covered while the rear cargo area rides open, giving your rig a distinctive stance whether you are cruising town or airing out on the trail. It is open-air driving with a look all its own, built for drivers who want their Wrangler to stand apart.
Configure It Your Way
The Halftop is a three-piece modular system, so you choose how much sky you let in. Run all three components together for full coverage when the weather turns, pull the rear panels for a true open-back setup, or flip the integrated Sunrider back for fresh air in seconds. A zippered rear window opens up extra airflow whenever you want it, so every drive can match the day and the mood.
Choosing Your Jeep Halftop Soft Top
There are two ways to get the look, and both install with no drilling. The Halftop Soft Top is a complete three-piece system for the Jeep Wrangler JK and JL, offered in 2-door and 4-door fitments and starting at $999.99. The Halftop Conversion Kit, starting at $499.99, adds the same half-cab styling to a Bestop Trektop you already own, an easy route to a fresh silhouette. Fitment is specific to your Jeep, so confirm your exact year, make, and model with the Bestop YMM fitment tool or customer service before ordering. The Conversion Kit is built for the Bestop Trektop (part number 56863-17) and is not compatible with the Trektop Ultra.
Which Fabric Fits Your Build
Both Halftop options come in your choice of two premium fabrics, so you can match the finish to the rest of your build. Black Diamond is a rugged, marine-grade vinyl with a smooth, glossy finish, while Premium Twill is a richer textile weave with a true-black look and a more refined feel. Both are made to hold their shape and stand up to UV and the elements year-round, so the choice comes down to the style you want.
Why Bestop
The Halftop carries the same engineering that made Bestop the only aftermarket brand trusted as Jeep's OEM soft top supplier since 1986. Every top is cut and sewn in the industry's only OEM-certified soft top factory in North America, with premium fabrics and hardware chosen to hold their finish season after season. The Halftop is a Bestop original, a genuinely different take on open-air style available only from Bestop. When you want a Wrangler that looks like nobody else's, this is the top that gets you there.
