No, it originally was a dual top, came with both hard and soft top.

question my friends:

I just double checked my window sticker, it has soft top listed under exterior features, but black freedom top under optional equipment. There's no line saying 'dual top group' like the OP had, does that mean the hard top over rides the soft top in this situation? Or should I have got both (not like i'd be able to do anything about it now)

*EDIT: I might have answered my own question, there's a note on the opt. equip: "may replace standard equipment"

Soft top comes "standard" on all JT's. Hard top is an optional upgrade. Dual Top Group is the next upgrade above that.
Certain packages automatically upgrade you.

Guess I have been proven wrong many times over on this one. Said the guy who had to have the badge removed to put PPF on and then badge reinstalled

I even painted my tow hooks black on the rear bumper after removing the hood decals, front hooks went away with the bumper… mystery Jeep to many apparently

It might have had front end damaged hence the black hooks.

If its at CarMax be careful!!
I wanted them to transfer one from another location before I was even willing to put anything down on it. It was listed as being a Rubicon but the interior pictures had no locker switches or sway disconnect switch. They wouldn't do the transfer without a deposit, I asked if I would get it back if the Jeep wasn't the right one, they said nope, non refundable. I told them nope, and walked.

Usually I've had good experiences with CarMax, but that time, no good!!

Good luck, but be careful.

trail rated badge, but as has been said, some people debadge.

Ask the dealer for the VIN (or get it from their online ad) and run a VIN check through Jeep.

trail rated badge is on left fender, not right…

The two tops are independent of each other, you remove the HT and bolt on a few trim pieces and the soft top frame. Changeover takes 15-20 minutes, but you'd most likely only want to do it seasonally. It could all be in the bed (looks like it has a tonneau) I think only the large piece that bolts to the bottom of the rear window doesn't fit- but it could be broken down into multiple pieces or stuffed somewhere else in the cab maybe

There's a handful on this Board that have done it.

If it can be done easily without risk of damaging the paint then I'd do it too. I'm happy to have a Rubicon, I paid for the additional capability with intention, but I don't appreciate the attention. I live in an area where it's not necessarily advantageous to advertise you bought the more expensive trim. What matters to me is that I get where I'm needing to go and back, not the sticker on the hood.

Hair dryer and fishing line, then Goo Gone or WD40 to get the residue off.

Indeed, I've yet to hear of a rubi owner stripping off their badge . Myself included. Interested to see if someone did that.

I took the Rubicon sticker off my wife’s JLUR 4xe because she wanted to name her Jeep Lucy.

Recently traded it in for a 2DR Bronco (still have my JTR) and I wondered if they took Lucy off and put the Rubicon back on to help it sell.
