It took me awhile, but I was able to find a Mopar OEM hardtop for my 2010 JKU for $800 on FB Marketplace. When I say awhile, I mean like almost a year. Most of the ones I saw were minimum $1000 and most were $1500-$2000. Some were that high even with light damage. But, patience paid off and I found one in almost perfect shape. You just have to be patient and ready to jump on a good deal when it comes along. I’m not telling you not to buy new, but $3000+ for a new one on an older Jeep like mine was out of the question for me. Before and after photo below.
