Was really hoping for some core doors on this.

They've had a Trektop NX soft top out for the JL for a bit now. My guess is that once they get up to speed on the OEM ones, then they start producing their own. There might be a non-compete for the first year maybe? ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆI wonder if Bestop has a legal agreement with FCA that prohibits them from marketing there own soft tops and or trail covers. If so how long do you think it is for. I'm guessing this is why you still see nothing for the JL's also.
I have no idea if they do or not. Just spitballing.
Watched a video last night and the guy at the LEER booth said that the projections for Gladiator sales were low. The sales have well exceeded the initial estimate so I'd guess we'll start seeing way more aftermarket products for the Gladiator next year.They've had a Trektop NX soft top out for the JL for a bit now.

I agree, great concept but poor execution. It needs to be more flush to the bed to make it cleaner.Those Tuffy Bed Boxes are an interesting concept; I don't like how they don't sit flush with the bedrail, but interesting nonetheless. Kinda like RamBoxes for the Gladiator.
I agree, really was hoping for JT/JL core doors. Well that and some kind of mirror mover soluiton as well.Was really hoping for some core doors on this.
The concept for these are awesome, but the execution at the show was not great. The boxes had trouble opening, poor fit, and they didn't really know what might happen with the center tonneau cover. For a large company I was very unimpressed. If they take the concept seriously it could very useful.Those Tuffy Bed Boxes are an interesting concept; I don't like how they don't sit flush with the bedrail, but interesting nonetheless.

Hi. Time for some full disclosure on a couple of fronts - the Sunshade (for JL and JT) and Core Doors for the JL and JT.Hey @BestopTeam surprised not to see the roller sunshade for your Sunrider on the SEMA Gladiator. I know itās supposed be be out soon. I think itās supposed to be out by the end of this year. So why not show it off at SEMA? Love to know. Love to see, Thanks
Thank you appreciate the update, I was really hoping for core doors in 2020.Hi. Time for some full disclosure on a couple of fronts - the Sunshade (for JL and JT) and Core Doors for the JL and JT.
- The retractable sunshade we prototyped for the JL (and was seen in a Quadratec video from our JL Summit in 2018) was an engineering prototype and there are no current plans to bring it to market in 2020.
- We also understand that some would like to see Core Doors for the JL/Gladiator. Given Core Doors were developed for the JK we will be concentrating on that fitment for the majority of 2020. We expect that a fitment for the JL will be produced at some point but we do not have a timeline on when that may happen.
We know that this news isn't what you wanted to hear but, given the number of questions we've been seeing on the forums and knowing our current development and production priorities, we felt that we needed to rip off this band-aid off and be more transparent of what products will be coming and when.

Appreciate that update....though Iām waiting to hear about the topper. I definitely prefer what Iāve seen from you guys to the product from Softopper that doesnāt look like it has windows on the sides.Hi.

In my dreams you would offer a sort of Trektop Pro style with hard glass and slider windows.
