Just talked to the Bestop rep at 4WP Truck Fest. They are going to offer the Sunrider half top(front half) for the JL in July. This is the one that replaces the Freedom top fronts when you leave the rear panel on.For those of you that are interested. They will also have the JK and a JL retractable shade for the front instead of using mesh top

Did not ask. He did say they can not produce any aftermarket products for JL’s until July per agreement with Jeep. He said some of the issue of Jeeps being held up due to soft tops is they keep revising the JL design as they build them. Bestop has to retool every time they do it. He said they had the original design 3 years ago.
To answer the question, start looking at their website in July

@JeepCares any truth or dates in which aftermarket tops from Bestop or Mopar will be available?

Highly doubtful they would have that info or would be able to validate that info as that is likely pertains to a legal contract negotiated between FCA and Bestop and be confidential.

I'm considering whether to have one. Does it fit soft top and hard top on when it is used as sunshade?
no. Without the hardtop the Bestop Sunrider won’t even attach properly. It’s not a shade even. It fully replaces the two front freedom panels full time. It’s made from the same material a factory softop or premium softop is. It’s essentially like having the soft top over the front seats and the hardtop on the rest of the vehicle. If you have soft top on your Jeep there would be no way for your soft top to close properly, Or for the best top Sunrider to attach properly.

What are you guys doing to store the top when not in use? I don't see they have any kind of storage bag or anything. I guess just hang it on the wall somehow?

Thanks
