Mesh top recommendations?

[JTBurns]

I just added the Alienshade 2 piece today and love it. Spent a few hours out on a really sunny day and kept it cool and quieter. A little less turbulent driving with the doors off too. It was nice at night too. When I put the top back on I might want to take off the front, feel like I might get a little clostrophiboc with 1-2 inches of headroom.

Oh and I got this little guy:

I run with the front panels off on the regular, and even with the whole top removed the wind noise is less than with no shadecover at all. Very different to a Bestop bikini on my YJ.

Also WAY BETTER QUALITY AND DESIGN from JTops vs the Spiderwebshade on my YJ. No comparison. I sent back the Spiderwebshade for my JT unopened.

Has anyone used the jtop with only freedom panels removed? If so, did you have any wind noise?

Another vote for @SPIDERWEBSHADE ....Have them on both Jeeps. Love the fact you don’t have to remove them for anything. Fantastic fit and quality.

Have a helluva deal on a Mopar one if interested. Brand new never out of box.

I'm getting same warn doors. Which mirrors do u have on them and do they stay still no rattle at higher speeds

I recently installed the hothead headliner for soft tops. Included in the kit are some plastic kayak J hooks. They're about 6 installed per side using factory screws. They work a lot better than the bungee balls going around the sports cage. I undid the bungees along the side of my ideashade and put them on the hooks. With the way you hook in the bungees on them, they pull the shades towards the upper part of the cage giving more head room.

These puppies from Quadratec. Rock solid around town and highway speeds.

I’ve had both the JTops and a spiderweb on my JL. Both of them flap. When my JT arrives soon I am getting the yet to be released HotHeads top. They told me about it when I ordered my headliner panels last week. They said it should hit the street in a few weeks.

While it’s been almost 9mos since I posted this. I pinged HotHeads the other day and they said they are still planning to release a mesh sunshade for the JT. It will be made the same way their JL shade was made. They still didn’t give me an ETA, but I’m going to keep asking them.

Here’s the JL shade. This shade should not interfere with either the softtop or hardtop. No straps. The bungees attach to the screws in the rollbar trim.

Two piece Dirtydog4x4 top on mine, no flapping, multiple attachment points, no need to drop windshield to install, stays on with Hard or Soft top, blocks the sun, no issues. Quadratec carries them.

Old thread… I’ve been looking at the Dirtydog……
I only want the front portion.
Can you leave it ON with the freedom panels in place?

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you!!

Their website only lists it to fit up to 2023’s. I’ve emailed them - I need clarification on their return policy.

I was only able to find ONE video (Quadratech) on it. It’s all attached via straps correct?? Or does it bolt-in somewhere? Unless the straps are too short to go around the airbags…..I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I’ve had to return 2 other bikini/sunshades in the past because they didn’t fix the Mojave X.

Thanks again!

They are going out of business, no surprise you did not get a email response. They do not work on 24+ Jeeps because of the air bags in the roll bars.

I don't get why you don't just get the SpiderWebShade JTKini? Their tops can stay on under the hard tops too. They are a solid company, been making tops since 2006 and a fully made in the US product. I'd had used the JTtops on my 1st gladiator and it was great, but they haven't kept up with the airbag deployment and their JL option was to use Velcro

You don't want straps around that airbag.
Only go over the top of the bar, not around.

I'm going back with spiderweb sunshade.

Makes sense…..

Because there are soooo many different brands to pick from….
