looking for a soft top that is easy to fold back

I am looking for a soft top that is as easy to take down like I had on my previous jeep. The Best top one has to slide into a rail on the front and does not look easy to take down. Is the rampage one any better for ease of folding back or they both built the same?

Thanks

Not really. They're similar in take-down-ability.

Its a 5-10 min process. Not super fast but once you get the hang of it you can put the top up or down fairly quickly.

Now storing the top inside and not straching the windows is another issue...

I have the bestop and it takes about two minutes to put on a take off, even by yourself. Quality top IMO!

+1 on storing the top and windows- we should market some sort of big coat hanger to hold them!

The Rampage's leading-edge slides into a front channel on the riser like the Best Top but is easy enough to pull out and take down. It stores nicely behind the rear seat if you fold/drape it twice over the two bows as you send them backwards. It has a clean look when in this position. I store the windows in my garage sandwiched between to pieces of cardboard with each window wraped in a towel to minimize scratching, don't really need them on-board this time of year. If it gets wet outside, I just pull the top up and run around safari style without the windows.

I bought some of those clamp style hangers you see used for pants and I hang them up in the closet.

The back window is a bit different but I hang it on the back of my dresser so I can't see it and it stays safe.

If you decide to go with Rampage consider their new denim fabric and they're now offering other colors too. Search around before you pull the trigger.

Rampage top is much easier. Most folks w best tops run thEm safarinstyle because of the difficulty.

Yep, Rampage is what you are looking for. I've been running mine nearly three years and love it. I roll the windows up with towels between them and put them in a large laundry bag and then store them behind the rear seat. I've got my whole top with me at all times that way. Like was said earlier, I would go with the new fabric top that they offer now, if I had to replace mine.
