Installed the 2 piece alien sunshade on my JLUR today. I’m 5’10” and no headroom issues. It sits just a tad lower than the hardtop.

Good point on the B pillar, that might be the way to go for me. You’re right, those doors do look awesome. A little out of my price range right now but I’m definitely considering something like that. Probably wait till we move out west since I’ll get more use out of them. Thank you!
I do think both JTops and Spiderweb attach higher on the bars than other cheap Amazon brands with the bungies, so they might be good enough from a height standpoint, but I wanted to try spending $70 on Alien shade first, instead of $200 on one of the others, and it worked out.

I do not have but plan on getting the CMM Mirrors and JTops Shade. Someone posted another set of mirrors I like that mount on the A-Pillar grab handle like the CMM mirrors but they have a different “spring loaded” feature.
You could also leave the Freedom Panels in and remove the Hardtop (if this applies).

I went with the Spiderweb shade with their Belt silencers too. Spiderweb shade doesn't use Bungee balls they use these to secure it. Better look.

That’s the exact spiderweb package I’m thinking of, including color! Think it would look great on my sting gray. Your Jeep looks awesome! Thanks for the picture, gives me a great visual!

Yeah, the cost is definitely something to consider. Definitely thinking Alien or spiderweb.

Good to know about the Alien! Did you get pod lights for the A pillar? What kind? Thinking that’s my next mod.

I have an Alien Shade (2 piece) as well and am very happy with it. I also like the fact that it masks the white interior of the freedom panels and hard top.

I do like the JTops as well but thinking spiderweb or maybe save some money and go Alien. I have seen the A pillar mirrors and heard good things about them and love the look but more than I want to spend for mirrors. Never thought of leaving freedom panels in…definitely an option but I still want that open feeling and some sun😎 Thanks for the ideas though!

+4 on the coyote mirrors! I love mine. I switched out the thumb screws for a turn knob from tractor supply. Make it even easier.
Looks like coyote mirrors are the way to go… and also switching out the thumb screw. Thanks for the reply!

1 piece alien shade for me and I am at 6 ft. My head just barly skims the shade. After the first use i said to my self i should have done this sooner. However the alien shade is tough to get to the latches for the freedom panels in the center area. Maybe the other shades have better access to flip the levers. FWIW
