Bestop Sunrider Install & Sound Test

[JT Mods]

I’m REALLY loving the Bestop Sunrider!!! If you’re considering this top, check out this video to see how easy it is to put on and how much of a difference there is in the SOUND LEVEL in the cab. I personally also think it looks great on! Let me know what you think!

Took all of 20 minutes to install, with 5 of that getting the hard top panels into the bag.

Heck yeah, it's nice having the ability to flip 2 latches and have instant sunshine.

Nice video. Two thoughts:

One make the graphic/chart larger, very hard to read.

Second, could you compare sound level and your assessment of noise level/buffeting between the freedom panels removed and the sunrider open?

Thanks for the feedback!!! Next time I include a chart, I’ll go full screen! In regard to the sound levels with the freedom panels removed and the Sunrider open, I had the same thought, but then opted not to include it in the video for length and audience attention purposes. Felt like with any top removed, at 55 MPH or 70 MPH, the expectation is that it’s loud in the cab. BUT because I’m curious like you are, I did take these measurements with the Sunrider open. At 55 MPH the dbs were 111 and at 70 MPH the dbs were 116 respectively. I didn’t however measure this with the freedom panels removed. I hope this helps and thanks for watching and providing constructive feedback!

Little tidbit I found that makes the wind buffeting, with the top open, go away. Open the rear slider window a few inches, and it's instantly quieter.

Just installed my Bestop Sunride top and it was a piece of cake to install and the best thing about the top is that Bestop has a 200 dollar rebate going on thru the month of April and I bought mine from Northridge 4x4 and they give me 100 dollars off when I bought it from them so I got my top for 300 dollars off yes sir

You must have got a 'special' deal. I just talked to their csr and they don't offer $100 off anymore. I thought maybe the $100 was for forum members but apparently not.

I just bought mine on April the 1st my top is in the twill material and I just talked to northridge 4x4 and they just priced it to me for 746 dollars then bestop has the 200 dollar rebate I would give northridge 4x4 another call and just ask if they can take some off their price that’s what I did

I just bought mine on April the 1st

Were they advertising $100 off then?

 

[tbaker]

No I just ask them what the best price they could do and the salesman said he could take 100 dollars off and I just called them after you posted that and they told me the same thing 746 dollars it’s regular 849 dollars

Lol. I used their chat service on their site and they said the 'ARMAGEDDON' code was the only thing that offered a discount which is $85. Now they just pm'ed me back on here and said the $85 off is all they offer.

The current deal is $85.00 off with the discount code and the $200.00 rebate from Bestop.
