If your on the road at all in wet, salty season you will appreciate a little wider fender, my jk and tj have narrow and I can’t see out the side windows when the roads are wet
Soft tops are lighter and make a difference in the top heavy feel, I have soft and hard tops for both Jeep’s, I like wheeling with a soft top best, less creaking noises when flexing and I don’t worry about damage but yes storage is a down side.
I can go look at mine, I have a 8 lug 10 bolt with warn premium hubs and arb, can’t remember what gears are in it but I pulled it from my project for a 60, it’s been a few years
