Frequently Asked Questions
The best soft top for a Jeep Wrangler TJ depends on how you use your Jeep. The Supertop NX is the most popular choice for TJ owners who want a proven framed design with fold-back versatility and the Sunrider flip-back sunroof. If you prefer a modern, frameless fastback look, the Trektop NX delivers a clean slantback silhouette with no bows or frames to manage. Both are engineered by Bestop with the same fit and quality standards used in OEM production.
The Supertop NX uses a traditional bow-and-frame structure with a squareback profile, and it folds completely back for topless driving. The Trektop NX is a frameless fastback design that installs without bows or frames and converts to a Safari Bikini for maximum open-air exposure. Choose the Supertop NX for classic versatility, or the Trektop NX for a streamlined, modern look. For a deeper comparison, see the soft top buyers guide.
Yes. The Jeep Wrangler TJ platform used a consistent body and windshield design across its full 1997-2006 production run, and Bestop TJ soft tops are designed to fit all model years in that range. Always confirm your specific year and configuration using the YMM fitment tool or by contacting Bestop customer service.
Most Bestop TJ soft tops are designed for no-drill installation using your Jeep's existing mounting points. A complete install typically requires basic hand tools and can be done at home. Detailed instructions are included with every top, and Bestop offers installation videos and customer support for additional guidance.
Black Diamond is Bestop's marine-grade vinyl, a 28-oz PVC-coated fabric with a smooth finish, strong UV resistance, and proven durability at the most accessible price. Black Diamond Sailcloth is a 28-oz three-layer sailcloth (here "Black Diamond" is the color, not the vinyl) with a matte, canvas-like texture and a more traditional look; its layered build makes it noticeably quieter than single-layer vinyl and strikes a strong balance of comfort and value. Premium Black Twill is a heavier 30-oz triple-layer fabric built around a butyl-rubber core, with a refined, true-black textile weave, the most durable option, with the best noise reduction and cold-weather flexibility. Visit the fabric comparison page for a detailed side-by-side breakdown.
Not always. If your existing factory or Bestop bow-and-frame hardware is still in good condition, the Replace-A-Top lets you install new fabric and windows on your current frame. If your hardware is worn, bent, or missing, Bestop offers complete Jeep Wrangler TJ soft top hardware kits that include everything needed for a full replacement. The Trektop NX and Pavement Ends Sprint Top are frameless designs that do not require traditional bow hardware at all.
Yes. Bestop Bikini tops are designed as standalone warm-weather accessories that provide partial sun coverage for open-air driving. They install independently of your full soft top, so you can switch between a Bikini and your Supertop NX or Trektop NX depending on the weather and the adventure. The Trektop NX also converts directly to a Safari Bikini configuration without removing the top entirely.
Bestop manufactures its soft tops in the industry's only OEM-certified soft top factory in North America. The company is headquartered in Louisville, Colorado, with 500+ employees worldwide. This is the same manufacturing standard used when Bestop supplies soft tops directly to Jeep as their OEM supplier.
Jeep Wrangler TJ Soft Tops, Doors & Accessories
The 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ is one of the most capable and beloved platforms ever built for open-air driving. Whether you are replacing a worn factory top, upgrading to a modern frameless design, or adding doors and accessories, Bestop covers every TJ owner with a full range of soft tops and open-air gear built to OEM standards.
Choosing the Right TJ Soft Top
Selecting the best soft top for a Jeep Wrangler TJ starts with how you drive. The Supertop NX is a classic framed squareback design with the broadest TJ fitment, a fold-back top for instant topless driving, and the Sunrider flip-back sunroof for on-the-go ventilation. The Trektop NX delivers a modern frameless fastback silhouette with no bows or frames needed, and it converts to a Safari Bikini for warm-weather cruising. If your existing factory or Bestop hardware is still in good shape, the Replace-A-Top lets you refresh your fabric and windows without replacing the frame, making it one of the most economical Jeep Wrangler TJ soft top replacement options.
Beyond style, consider fabric and fitment. Bestop offers multiple fabric grades (Black Diamond, Sailcloth, and Premium Black Twill) so you can match your budget, climate, and look. All Bestop TJ tops are designed for no-drill installation and are tested against the same standards used in OEM production, so fit and sealing are built in from the start.
