I've been searching online everywhere and can't seem to find an image of anyone rocking a standard soft top + a Softopper (or similar soft bed topper), which is starting to make me think it's either not possible or it looks too dumb for it to exist on the internet :)

I've got a '21 Sport with a soft top and am considering a softopper style bed topper to give my bed the same flexibility I have in the cab - sometimes I need to move music or camping gear + bigger stuff that I want to shield from the elements, but i don't want to commit to a hard topper.

Is anyone running a similar setup? Would love to see your rigs.

I run a dual-top and a softtopper. At the moment, i still have the hard top on (it's a first day of 70 this year), so can't take a picture, but I don't have any issues running softtopper up or down and soft top up or down. Normally, during the summer, I'll have soft top down, and panels out + softtopper in safari mode, roof still on, but sides rolled up

This photo is a bit of a crop - the jeep wasn't the main subject, but you should be able to get the idea of what that looks like.

I love mine, waited and waited for Bestop to release the Supertop in Premium twill, matching my soft top. if you have standard sailcloth, they offer that too.
They did a good job matching the topper's heitgh to the factory top.
I've seen a couple photos of the Softopper, but I think the extra cash for the Bestop option will be worth it.

When you run top down, rear window out, does the window facing the JT side out as well?

yes, otherwise it does start to look like one of the WWII trucks with covered body, but no roof over driver, or Lincoln L-134B. that said, i don't have rear window out all that often... cuz you know... new england.

Just put mine on. Picked up the soft top and topper used. I was going to get the softopper but found a deal locally on the best top version.
