Don’t do it unless your body fat level is NFL running back compliant

Rugged Ridge 13594.35 Savannah Brief Top Black Diamond Sailcloth. Complete coverage, no gaps at all and it stays tight. $227 I would buy it again in a heart beat. It is one piece and screws into the header holes that are already there. No drilling or complicated install, but it is as secure as can be.

GraBar Foot Pegs $53 bucks. These have worked well and not hurt the paint. If you have no doors on and make a right turn, having your leg out of the foot peg feels a lot more secure than just gripping the steering wheel.

I actually use my rear view mirrows, so having on that is good sized and does move around fits my wants, so I went with the MOPAR OEM doors off mirrosa nd they have been great.

My Jeep goes naked 8 months of of the year and these three items work great.

Second these! Grabbed them this summer. I also emailed the company asking for any promotion codes and they gave me a discount!

I've had the two piece Alien Ware sunshades for over two years and love them. They truly provide around 90% protection from the sun and are very well made. I just leave them in place when I put my hard top back on and no problems. I'm 6'2" and I have plenty of head room. Honestly one of the best upgrades I have made on my 2018 Rubicon.

Great to know! Leaning toward the Alien..thank you!

I have not seen that shade or foot pegs. I’m not sure that shade would fit under my soft or hard top and I am looking for that. I do like those foot pegs so will definitely look more into those. I’m pretty set on getting the Lange coyote mirrors.
Thank you for the reply and ideas!

I have a Four Door JTop in Platinum gray mesh which is in great shape if anyone is interested. Not sure on other Jeepers experience with the Genuine Mopar Sun Bonnet Black Vinyl Part Number 82215392AC but I really like it as apposed to the JTop. No straps or bungees needed and once you install the front piece between the top of the windshield and A pillar bar it can stay put when the full top goes back on for the winter. The top is technically a two piece held together with a heavy duty zipper for the front windshield section and the fit is nice and tight with button snaps. No drilling needed....Another great option if you can find one for a good price is to go with the JL soft top which you can drive around in the Safari set up with options to put all the way down or full cover....anyway you go will be awesome.....naked is nice and a great true Jeep look. Good luck and show pics when you make it all happen!!

Looking to spend as much time with a naked Jeep this summer and have some Xmas gift cards to burn. I’m’ thinking Lange Coyote mirrors and DV8 foot pegs.
I’m thinking of a sunshade to protect my Irish skin but concerned about headroom and airflow. Any suggestions out there on best sunshade? Also open to better mirror and foot peg options. TIA

Just do what I did. No carpets, no top, no rear seats, no doors, and buy a moped mirror at O'Reilly's for 6.99. it comes with a nut and works just as good as the super overpriced ones "designed" for the wrangler.

Then you can use your gift cards to buy Everclear and drink your worries away. That's what I do, and I'm doing swimmingly!

Look at JTops for your top.
Look at Carolina Metal Masters for mirrors.
You want foot pegs ? Get a Harley.
I gotta keep my feet inside to drive, I have a RARE non-exploding 6-speed manual

Wow, really like the look of your jeep, especially with the half doors!
I actually have that same mopar top which I have never used. Probably sell at some point. Really looking at a sunshade to let some light in and able to keep on my hard and soft top. I do like safari mode with soft top but like I said, want something that lets more light in without burning to much in the sun. Seeing these pictures definitely makes me reconsider though.
Thanks for the reply and the visuals! I'll post pictures of what I do in the Spring.

Wife would kill me if I got a Harley and I don't trust myself on a bike..lol.
I do like jtops but trying to keep cost down for this shade.
Thanks for the reply and the laugh

I ran these for the longest time.
$90 Rough Country Mesh Bikini Top
It works great, it's cheap, it lets enough light through that you still feel like you're outside, but it blocks a lot of sunlight. Enough that you feel like you're not getting blinded every time the sun is bearing down on you.

I live in Texas so the heat can be somewhat unbearable, but when you're riding around with no top at a low of 90° everyday, you get used to the heat or you put your top back on. For me this top definitely made the direct sunlight a lot better. You didn't feel it as much.

If you can find a local shop to order for you, you can skip out on shipping, this what I did. Ordered it from a local shop and picked it up there as I do with all my parts. Also if you go to the local shop enough, they'll often give you discounts if they're appreciative of your business, and it helps if they're small enough that they don't have corporate oversight telling them not to give you 20% off on $1,600 worth of rims. ? ?

This is the one I chose after going to a lot of trade shows and looking them over. Love the fit and finish!

Thanks, I'll check those out. Don't really have a local shop so I'm stuck ordering myself.
