I think the toppers should match the roof. You hit it out of the park with your set up. Truck looks great with or without the doors!
Its funny, we are all different.

I at first wanted a body colored topper.


Jeep Gladiator Ugly or no? 1652807510646


But then decided on a black one. I think it looks better. In my case I had a body colored hard top and fenders.

What is the return policy?
Actually, I think it is one of the better looking toppers.
Haha, that would be "return the doors to the truck" policy

Need more photos! I think it looks good though. I’ve been toying with this idea as well. Our Jeeps aren’t much different!

I appreciate it- looking at your rig, I thought mine was in New Mexico for a minute! Looks great!

Have you thought about tube doors? I think they would look killer in that configuration ?

I get it, I'm just the polar opposite. I've never cared for any soft top Jeep. Same thing applies to convertible cars- just not my thing. I like the skeletal look of no top at all, or the clean lines of a hard top. Add that to the weakened layer of security, noise, fade, etc., and I'm only sold on a hard top. Now, would I occasionally like the convenience of a soft top? Sure. But that's probably only crossed my mind a couple of times.
fair enough. On top of it: softtops do not offer theft protection of the things you carry along….

When I had my TJs back in the day, with soft tops, I kept nothing valuable in the vehicle and didn't lock the doors. I did this to prevent idiots from cutting the windows to get in (to find nothing). Mind you, this was in decent/good neighborhoods and I wasn't too worried about IT being stolen. Not to mention that anyone with half a brain could have just unzipped the windows on those things.

I love the top/doors off look - it's the reason I'm here. Your truck looks awesome cuellar13.

I've considered them, though I don't know that they're worth the investment for my needs. I remove the doors a handful of times per year, and it's usually about a week at a time (I wait for stretches of no rain here in FL). Now, if I came across a killer deal on a set, I'd pull the trigger, I'm just not seeking them out. I think they would look killer, though.

Looks good but who cares what anyone thinks about looks. It’s yours.
Not that I let opinions determine what I do or like- more curiosity to see if others were on the fence like I initially was.

Thanks @JoeInOh - I've heard stories from people where they left their Jeep unlocked and empty, but the idiot thieves still cut the top instead of unzipping or trying the door handle.....

We’re supposed to have good weather for the next week, so I took the doors off. Buuuut, I just installed the topper- just wanted input- does it look odd/like shit, or no? I’m torn.

When do you have a week in Tampa with no rain? I come down to the TB area a lot in the winter to visit my parents and did some stretches in the military in central Florida - it seems like those stretches would be infrequent and super hard to predict. Just wondering.
