do you have a link for this top?I ordered the rampage bikini top and will run that year round along with a tonneau cover once those are available for the JL as well. Until my rampage top is in this is how I'm running my jeep.
I noticed in your pictures you have it rolled up at the front, is that how it stored when your driving around or can you remove the whole top and say store it in the cargo area or under the seat, like an emergency? If it is rolled up like that have you noticed any issues? Thanks again for being our forum test bed for this top!^ yeah, I got hit up for $36 from UPS too.
On a related note, I got out on the highway tonight to see how the wind noise is. It’s definitely louder than the hard top, but nothing different than you’d expect from. soft top. No flapping or other goofy things. Window in back was rock solid - it doesn’t move around in the wind or anything.
One thing I also love about the top is that because there are no moving hard parts, there’s nothing to clank together to make noise when gojngover humps, unlike the factory top.
I also rolled up the top for the first time. Took 1 minute to go topless.
I also folded down the vertical part of the cargo window. I think this is how I’ll be rolling this summer for the most part unless going through heavy rain.
There website say's "coming soon" did they give you a timeline for delivery?
Yes, it stays rolled up front when you open the top. You could remove it by unscrewing one nut on each side. No issues with it rolled up while driving. If anything, it probably just reduces turbulence in the cabin like most sunroof deflectors do
Looks like it. I guess the price points we are looking for and the profit margins are two thin to actually care about us as customers. Some start-up has a good entry point if they are thinking of moving into this space. There isn't much love for the existing companies out there, that is for sure.
I have two piece red, great for sun, horrible for rain ;-)
For what it's worth, I have the two-piece Alien Sunshade, and I'm able to get the hardtop and freedom panels on and off without any issues. The two separate pieces makes it easier to get around without ever having to remove the shades. I think you'll like it much more than the one-piece.
Interesting...from I can tell it is a bikini top right?
yes, seems like a true bikini top.... the pictures are horrible. but if you look at the JK style it looks like it, its not going to seal around the tops of the windows. but its a good enough to throw on for those pop-up rain showers
