Hi I'm a recent Jeep owner...I picked up an 06 Wrangler unlimited 2-door with the soft top last week. I am looking to pick up a hard top for it to swap in for winter.
What fits this model? Do you guys have better suggestions on what to search for? I see plenty of tops for sale but none say they fit the unlimited. Thank you -Mark
I believe all tj hardtops will fit. The wiring harness is a different story. If it came from the factory with a soft top, it most likely wont have a harness. After 02, the side vents on the hard top were moved to the back. Bottom line, 97-06 should fit.
"TJMarkM" - Your username is confusing me. You say you have the 2006 Unlimited Wrangler? On the off chance that you are not aware, you have and "LJ" Wranger, not a "TJ". Just trying to help you out!
:welcome:
Oh boy...No I didn't really think of that and that makes perfect sense. I'm wondering if I should change my username now so that i'm accurate and correct? At any event thanks for pointing that out.
Pretty sure all 97-2006 wranglers are officially TJ with a subset being stretched with the official term unlimited( with the unofficial term LJ applied to that subset)
Remember, the 06 is an LJ and has a 10" longer wheel base than the TJ.
We bought our 2000 Wrangler Sport TJ in June. We wanted a hard top for winter use. Thanks to this Forum...I found that the TJ hard tops for basically 97-03 would fit our TJ (wheelbase is important factor) ..and everyone suggested trying to get an OEM top as they fit better than aftermarket tops.... we found a like new OEM hardtop which was on an 02 Wrangler ..5 hours from home. We gladly made the drive..loaded it in the pickup and brought it home. There are some real ratty tops out there....we had almost given up on getting something in really good shape and this one appeared. Price was terrific !
I found a couple near me...I think i'm on the fence about getting one right now though. It changes the look of the Jeep a bit...undecided and waffling. But thanks to this post I now know what to look for
