So I jusT picked up a 13 rubi last week after having two tjs for a combined 5 years.
both of which had soft tops noise didn’t bother me at all btw..
I loved the convenience of the open air right at a moments notice. The JK has a hard too and I want to sell and get a soft my wife is talking so much smack so folks

Opinions?

Living in Colorado, I would keep it.

For one, the weather there is cold a lot of the year, and for two, it will be much easier to sell when you sell the Jeep one day.

I live in Arizona where no hard top is needed all year round (same with places like Florida). But in Colorado, I think you'd be crazy to sell it, unless you don't drive it at all during the winters.
 
Soft top in the winter was never an issue. Heat never an issue. The vinyl on the soft top retained so much heat most the time it was to hot.
But side bar Colorado is definitely not cold most the year we definitely get all 4seasons (even in one day sometimes) yesterday was 85 and toasty.

If that's the case, you may be just fine then.

I know when I was in Oregon that it rains so damn much (and gets cold) that the soft top was very annoying in the fall, winter, and even spring. I liked the hardtop a lot. Of course it made it easier because I had a hoist for the hardtop in my garage.

It may be worth selling it, but do keep in mind if you ever sell the Jeep, the hardtop definitely commands more resale value.

Everybody will have a different opinion. I always preferred a black twill soft top and disliked the hardtop because of how difficult it was to remove it and needing to call a buddy to help. I’d sell it too if it were me.

Exactly the main reason I’m ready to let her go.
No where to store when it’s off and calling a buddy sounds like to much always. I love the comfort of being able to just pull windows and fold back in mere minutes.

now to sell it or findsomeone who wants one and has a nice soft.

Keep and eye on craigslist and just wait. I got super lucky and picked up a completely brand new premium soft top. It had been put on once by the dealer to show the guy, and then it hung out in his garage for five years. I paid $400. It still smelled new, I wasn't sure it was a premium top until I got home, for that price I didn't care.
