Thanks Cassie and welcome to the forum, that's a great rendering.

Anything else you can let us know that could be in the works to move over from the JL to the JT or other possibilities?

And why wouldn't it - from the b-pillar forward, the "body" is IDENTICAL to the JL ! Good to hear though, cause now either way I go - JL or JT - the Sunrider gonna work !

I can’t help but wonder how much extra it might cost to get a Gladiator with a hard top versus a standard rag top. I know that the Sunrider front opening top will cost about $700.00 Anyone care to take a stab at how much extra the hard top could possibly cost? It would be a slightly smaller hard top versus the current Wrangler hard top since it would not go over the current trunk area. And it would have a sliding rear window versus the current pop open rear window. Wild guesses to the extra hard top cost are welcome.

My guesses are below I'm thinking they subtract $200 and that's the price, however they could keep the same price or add $200.00. I think I'm just as anxious about what the price is going to be as I was to the debut on the 28th.

Black freedom 3piece Hardtop $995.00
Body Color Freedom 3 piece Hardtop: $1995.00

Black would work for me and then add the Sunrider. Fifty million dollar question though is what each model would cost? And what will be the difference between a Sport and a Sport S? Hmmm!!!

This will be on my list of first purchases for the hardtop. I have seen it in person on Wrangler's and it is a great addition. Thank you for sharing Cassie!

Thank you for the "like" Bestop.com, on my previous insight, but, don't let that "go to your head" !
Delayed reply part 2 -- After great thought processes, on my part :clap:, I have not 1, but 2 new (to me) suggestions for New Product (JL) ! Ready ? They will be useful in countless ways while off-road Camping - desert, beach, forest . . . !
They involve Annoyingly-Aggravating Biting, blood-sucking "critters" with or without wings ! ! ! You know them as "No-See-Ums, and oh yea, See-Ums too ! :whew:, that took a while to get out ! Next, We, the Public at large, are crying out for an
'INSECTRIDER' - that's right, the same cool, tight fitting, well designed and engineered (to LAST), but with SCREENING !
THEN, item 2, as promised, heavy duty No-See-Um screening WITH "Dog-Proof" wire-mess (like you see on some of the Truck Cap slider-windows ! THESE would be a Switch-out Replacement for the 2 Removable SIDE Windows -- Screening instead of Plastic windows ! A combination use of both these items while driving (off road under say 35 mph?) would create great air flow in the cabin while keeping out the unwanted flying critters during those times we pull over to gawk at the amazing views ! It may also (not sure) reduce some of the dust from the vehicle ahead IF driving too close (dummy) ! ?
Well, there you go -- take it up with the "high command" -- I do require a small reimbursement (bribe?) when you go ahead and start production . . . perhaps a set of Trial Run / Pre-production test parts ? ? ? :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: . . . :clap:.

Wow, look at the Great response, already . . . SHOULD THIS BE A SEPARATE POST or Let's SEE a Great response of "LIKES" so Bestop.com can see this needs to be done . . . . . You are quite welcome :like: . ps; The window item is in reference to the JL, but if the JT has removable windows then also for the JT . I won't reduce this post over at the sister sight (JL); cause I'm just to lazy !

I’ve installed it on my 2018 JLR and can say it’s a great upgrade. Being able to flip the top off at a stop light is awesome. The fit and function work great. Customer service is also top notch.

I was super excited way back when you confirmed this would indeed fit the Gladiator... all of my Jeep have always had soft tops, I’ve also only owned 2 doors. My latest being a 2 door JK, I really liked the ease convenience of the flip top part being able to be opened or shut from the seat. I’ve always been a soft top don whenever possible type person, but now I more than not have my dog with me and his nose gets burnt easy, we put sunscreen on his nose in the Jeep and at the beach, lol. This feature was super awesome for him as he could still be covered in the back and we still have open air. My wife has a JLU soft top, it’s awesome that you can have all passengers enjoy the sun with the sunrider portion open, but not good for our dog. Was thinking for the JT we would go hard top with sunrider for hard top, then I got to thinking of the cool options that y’all have produced such as the trek top pro for the JKU’s and I’m sure soon the JLU’s.. will there be any option similar to that for the JT? A soft top, with the front flip top part, and maybe a larger sliding rear window option that could be removed easily like the trek top pro? Sorry for such a long post... thanks for any info available and for making cool useful products!

Thank you! Just added this to my list. I'd be a buyer of a two layer with a screen and top.

Hey!

Honestly we have not thought that far ahead, we can't even get our hands on a JT yet - just like all of you :)

We do know the Sunrider will fit, and a few other applications will transfer over from the JLU but that is really all we know until our engineers can get their hands on one and start designing.

Sorry this isn't much help!
