New Rugged Ridge Voyager fastback JT top?

[ResurrectionManNH]

Hey all, I've been looking for a soft top option for this summer as I only have the hard top. This new Rugged Ridge Voyager seems like exactly what I'm looking for and more functional than the Mopar standard soft top. Anyone have this?

Mine got delivered last week, but I’m in Michigan, still not quite “soft top season”. I’ve been hoping there would be some warm weather members who have installed one. Either way, I’m hoping for warmer weather soon.

I am looking at the same soft top and really like how it looks compared to the oem top

Nice. Can you post some pics when installed and let us know your feedback?

There is a thread here https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/anybody-heard-anything-about-this.53882/ with a bunch of talk about it.

A few guys got it delivered but have not yet installed it.

I guess RR said that the back isn't really meant to be folded up over the sound bar like seen in the pictures. Hopefully it can be done because this looks like an interesting option over the factory top

Thanks. I read some of that too, I think the pic shows the front folded back and that is the entire back window taken out as it’s one large piece. I like that better than it folding up in the rear anyway especially if it you can simply zip off the whole rear portion.

Looks good, for some reason it said it would not fit on my ‘20 JT

Sure thing.

Got it on today. Initial thoughts - love the look. I think it looks way better than the style of the OEM top. Install was all ok until the rear portion - a lot of Velcro and straps. The very large rear window is fairly easy to take out but like others have said, taking the whole rear portion apart and folding it up is doable but not quick and easy. When there’s a stretch of nice weather I will for sure but otherwise I’m good with the fast back front and taking rear window out. I’ll post some more pics tomorrow.

Got mine on this past weekend. It was a bear to pull the back corners and connect the side zippers on the rear window. After a couple of days of having it on in the 80's it stretched out a bit and now everything is connected properly. Definitely not as quiet as the hard top, but no more noisy than other soft tops I've owned. I'm loving the flip open front. It stays put when I'm doing 70 on the interstate.

Few more of mine last weekend with back portion tucked under front portion and secured.

Wow I have to say, your back window looks a lot better than most people who run this top! It’s slowly convincing me to pull the trigger on one haha

Ha, might have just been the lighting. It does have some wavy areas

For me to get the smoothest rear window I do the left and right straps first and pull the window the tight then do the center strap last pulled less tightly.

Figured I'd ask here since i just bought this window kit - will this soft top be as good as the mopar one in the winter months (we do get snow here in VA). I just wanted something that would be easier to take completely apart than the mopar/besttop soft top.
