Bikini Top Recommendations

[NyRey87]

Let me know what you think. It’s really got glowing reviews where I can find them. And without having to buy the windshield channel it makes it very affordable.

My only really issue is going to be where the hell to store the Hardtop. ?

I have a RollnJack. My hard top sits on the RollnJack above my UTV (side by side). Perfect for the single stall part of the garage.

I know you are inquiring about Bikini tops but given the fact that you have the hard top and expressed no place to store the hard top, have you looked into the Alien Sunshades?

I actually have the Alien sunshades (mesh or whatever) too. They don't help with light rain, thus the MasterTop Bimini. The Alien stuff I have is awesome for sun... I leave the Alien stuff on year round under the hard top.

Unfortunately my garage won’t be a place I can store my hardtop at :/

Only briefly, even tho we rarely get rain through the summer months here I had been gravitating towards the bikini top because the UV index in the summer is so intense here. I think the alien shade is a great option or alternative, I also love that I can leave it on all year, with or without the hardtop on.

I think i'll be trying best top..i want to get something soon so i can remove the hardtop and doors.. how easy is it to install quickly and stow away?

Looking to pick up a Bikini Top for the JL soon. Looking for advice on a couple different options. I have the hard top so I don’t have Mopar Door Surrounds so that factored into my decision.

Bestop- https://www.extremeterrain.com/best...header-bikini-top-black-diamond-52610-35.html

MasterTop-

Yeah, that is right. I just ordered the MasterTop. We'll see...

@Wentworth1 any thoughts after receiving the MasterTop?

@Wentworth1 any thoughts after receiving the MasterTop?

@bjm00se Not really a huge fan. I have installed it only two or three times and it is pretty noisy. I think one with an actual front header channel or whatever might be better. Just more to install.

the rugged ridge one i have has a header bar
you have to expect noise for no doors or closed cap but its not loud to me or annoying

i do think the RR design is better then the mastertop
it has header bar, 2 bolts and done
the straps are all velcro except the 4 rear ones . two pins go in the bar holes as seen in my photo and 2 are buckle straps in the center
its a very tight top no flapping at all except the straps
its kind of like the california breif you all mentioned

to remove i just roll it front to back then slap it on hooks on the garage wall header and all
the header bar stays installed inside the RR top while you store it,
you dont need to keep installing it into the RR top.
its way faster then fishing straps through the front i think
takes me maybe 13 minutes to put on and snug up with my adhd may take longer

the bestop is nice but again its all straps and buckles and no rear center buckles

holds up great to weather blocks the beating sun and would have it on 24-7 if i could

the rear cover is by rampage which i thought was RR but thats my jk , but another member asked about this one and even i got it mixed up lol

it also is super tight , weather no issue and can add a rear window to it

hope it helps any questions shoot im here lol

@elf883 The header channel stays on when you put the hardtop back on???

no sorry should have been more clear - the header stays inside the ragtop

edit made to original post sorry

 

[fspalt]

Considering one of these for my options next year. Do any of them allow you to fold the top back over the two front seats without completely removing it?
