Last weekend, but just getting around to posting some pictures. Did the Mother’s clay bar and Mother’s CMX 3 step (prep/polish/clear ceramic coating) process. Two final coats of the ceramic spray coating. Looks incredible in person and truly reflects like glass. Five hours of work, but the weather was perfect and outcome exceeded my expectations.

While I totally get the “blackout” as its the one piece of bright on the truck, I am a sucker for stainless steel, and a bit of nostalgia. I’m actually stoked to see not one well trimmed key hole, but a second one on the passenger side as well.

Prepped for winter. Likely my last full detail wash and prep as the snow starts falling this week. Full power wash, hand wash, ceramic wash and graphene detailer. Sprayed off the frame and added a fresh coat of fluid film.

Installed the Bestop (aka Mopar version) sunrider to my Mojave.

Its a substantial improvement from the JK design which I used to have on a older Wrangler.


Looks great
How was the install ?

LOVE mine. I got my BesTop Sunrider (the BestTop version ;) ) from QuadraTech. Goes on in the spring and comes off in the fall. It's nice to be riding around with it open then simply close it when destination achieved. When it commences to raining, simply pull over, pull it over, and voila, dry. No having to wrestle the panels from the bed (if you even brought them with you :CWL: :CWL: :CWL: ) and fit them in.

@Steveg137 , Install is real easy. BesTop's directions are fairly well written although, I did have some trouble figuring out the first part of clipping those two clips to the frame as I couldn't find them at first because they had retracted a little into the canvas but other than that, easy peasy.

Very interested in this. Looks like you are very happy with the results. No problems with the Rubicon hood decals? I may be following you on this one.

Super easy to install, even easier with the Mopar version as it comes fully assembled, also the Mopar instructions are good because they list the correct torque values for the 6 screws that are used.
just give the rubber seals a good cleaning beforehand.

Mopar 82216370AA is black twill, it's also easier to find discounts for it as it's a Mopar part number - use dealer coupons etc, just shipping is a bit more as the box is larger in size, so you have to price around or if you have a decent local dealer who discounts order the part from them.

Added Quadratec QRC front bumper. Love the way it looks! Now impatiently waiting for some November sales on a winch.
