Jeep Wrangler Tops Offer More Features

The 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited improves upon the popular 2011 Wrangler, and the accessory options are keeping pace. Along with the updated Wrangler, Jeep has rolled out new and improved Wrangler tops.

A Jeep Wrangler top is an essential accessory in any climate. It keeps you protected from rain, snow, UV rays, and excessively cold or hot air temperatures. You can choose from a soft top or hard top, depending on your needs.

Options for the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited include the Sunrider Jeep soft top, the standard black Freedom Top, and the body-color Freedom Top. Here's a brief breakdown of these different styles.

Sunrider Jeep Top

For those who enjoy the open air experience above all else, the best choice is a Jeep soft top. In the case of the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, it's the Sunrider Jeep top. The benefit of a soft top is its flexibility. If you're on the go and you decide you want to feel the breeze on your face, it's much easier to take off a soft top, roll it up, and store it in the backseat than it is to remove and transport a hard top.

• 55” x 60” sunroof for added control over airflow
• Three-ply sailcloth fabric that absorbs noise and insulates the interior
• Large rear window for improved visibility

Standard Black Freedom Top

This three-piece modular Jeep hardtop is one of the best available. A hardtop is very useful if you live in a climate that’s subject to snow or hail. The Black Freedom Top has a healthy set of features you won’t get with a soft top, including:

• Rear wiper/washer
• Rear defroster
• Full metal doors with deep tinted glass
• Storage bags

The three-piece design of these Jeep Wrangler tops improves on the old one- and two-piece designs. You can remove the front two panels on your own, and then enlist the help of a friend to take off the final back piece. This system is less cumbersome and more convenient than older-model hardtops.

Body-Color Freedom Top

The standard Freedom Top comes in a basic black that goes with everything. But if you have a Jeep Wrangler Sahara or Rubicon, you have the option of getting a Freedom Top that matches your Jeep’s body color. Eight color options are available, and each can be matched with a Freedom Top.

Jeep Wrangler tops are generally smart investments. Whether you choose the Sunrider Jeep top or the Freedom Jeep top, you can expect to ride in comfort and style for years to come.
