Did Bestop ever start making the super tops again in twill? I bought the black diamond because the twill was unavailable. Bestop wanted you to pay 100% to place an order on the twill that they had no idea when the would start manufacturing again. I have no complaints about the black diamond top...
I had the same problem with the back flap but not the sides. I fixed the back flap problem by installing a good old fashion snap in the middle of the back panel.
Thanks for the update. I switched from the twill to the black diamond because Northridge had it in stock. After what Bestop put you through I am glad I switched.
I put mine in the trailer when I get home.
Haven't pulled the trailer to a trail yet just camp grounds. Good point about taking them off before a branch does it for you.
I paid big bucks for the Alpine sound system.
At 2000 miles it developed a bass rattle.
Man was I pissed! So I did a search and read about all the causes. Today I went looking for a general area to narrow it down because new a dealership would be unable to take care of such a technical...
We all use our Gladiators a little differently.
I actually tow with my Max tow and will do sand and forest trails so I am good with the all terrain tires and mud flaps on the back as not to pelt the trailer with road debris.
So not the biggest baddest Gladiator on the block or trail just maybe...
I have the hard top in black so I was okay with the black diamond sail cloth. And it was in stock and was delivered in less then a week. Not to rub it in, I was okay with what was available.
I just couldn't make myself give them $1300 just to order it , then have bestop keep the money for three months or more. Crap only had to put $1000 down on $50,000 Gladiator.
Just got back from a 1000 mile trip and it stayed tucked in and zipped. I am in Oklahoma and Texas and had 30 mile per hour wind while driving. Can't tell you about leaks cause we haven't had rain in forever.
I am pleased with how it is designed and how it folds and unfolds. That maybe because I...
Bestop super top ll Black diamond.
It is okay for what it is, the twill was not available for another two months. I fiddled with the fit and this is as good as it gets. I saw a Soft topper and it looked like a tighter smooth fit. I bought it for function over form and so far so good.
Wolf island I am curious which model of Gladiator did you purchase? The reason I ask is was it a logical purchase or based on the some what undefinable lure of a Jeep. I would think the later would be difficult to pin down in a survey. But this certainly is not my expertise.
On the same note why would anyone who values Consumer Reports buy a Harley Davidson there is no practical explanation for a Harley.
I had one of my best friends that was a car salesman his entire life tell me you don't sell Jeeps, Jeep people tell you what they want.
Now let's not be hasty just a few replays back they were talking about how fun their Gladiators were and now we need a spreadsheet or survey to track how big our smiles are on road and off road.
Shadowspapa did you get the snow plow for the front reciever hitch. You know to clear the snow from the new 40 X 60 garage the one with the American Standard toilet?
