Bestop retractable Sun shade. Meh. Will run it the next few days but not particularly impressed so far. Does make for a pretty nice handle across the middle of the roof though.

What's not impressive about it? I'd love a retractable shade. Not that I have a sunrider though, just north soft and hard top.

Installed Rock Hard 4x4 tube down sliders.

Added more detail and my initial thoughts to another RH thread: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/rock-hard-4x4-sliders.35358/post-1199663

Installed the KC light bar mount along with light bar. I like the look but the buffeting on my Sunrider is annoying. Will probably be removing it since I use the Sunrider all the time.

Added the bed sliders that I picked up with my new to me steel bumper. Those are a pain to get on.

The new rear lights showed up, so I swapped those out out, just need to get them wired up.

It's in the way to easily open and close the sunrider is my biggest gripe.

Lesser gripes are it's kind of a pita to use in general, isn't far enough back so there's a gap behind it, flaps a good bit when driving.

It does work great for shade though.

If I end up getting rid of it, it'll be because it got rid of my ability to easily open and close the sunrider.

Bummer, such a great idea.

Even when retracted it makes it difficult to open and close?

Normally I can reach up, grab the handle and close the top with very little effort while driving. The bar where the shade rolls up is far enough forward that I can't reach the handle without getting my elbow up aside it so I can kind of turn my arm around backwards. It's not impossible but it sure isn't just reaching up and grabbing it. No real difference in opening it you just have to let go of it before it's all the way open.

Barricade enhanced rubi rails installed. pics in the morning when I can see them well enough for a pic.

Took about an hour with my wife and daughter helping. Wife said afterwards that they make it look “completed”. Daughter used them successfully to climb in. Overall, a success.

instructions not the clearest; and the “15 mm” bolts were 16 mm. Otherwise no issues.
