Trying to deside on a sunshade. I see several makes and they look pretty basic. Any particular brand over another?? Not looking for a full top just the sunshade for now.

So, you’re wanting only the Freedom Panels position shade?
Bestop’s Sunrider for Hardtop. Twill is the nicer of the 2 offerings.

When/If you do decide on a full size, this is my JTopsUSA. It stays on all year round. Not at all necessary to remove under the hardtop. No bungee cords!

Why is it when I reply to a post, my comment gets put into the posters post and not just my reply...If that makes sense...

Anyways, just looking for a front only sunshade. No intentions on taking the complete roof off. Thnx

If I am not mistaken, Bestop also makes just a sun shade for temporary removal/replacement of the Freedom Panels.

I guess my initial reply was not on point… exactly. It happens… 🍺🤪

Make sure you type you comment BEFORE the "[QUOTE______]", or AFTER the "[/QUOTE]" like this:



That's a cool pic!

Thanks for sharing.

Weird they say two of their options are "unavailable" but when you click on those options, they allow you to order.

Carefull with the 2024s and up.They have the side airbags.Some of those shades technically wont work.JTtopsUSA only fit up to 2023 from what I see.Correct me if Im wrong.

What year is your JT?? I have a 2024 with the side curtain airbags & such.
I took a chance of buying the Alienshade for 2018-2023 Gladiators from Amazon. I returned it…. I can’t remember exactly why, but it didn’t work on my 2024.

I currently have a Spiderwebshade. It’s been installed since last summer and still in place with the freedom panels in place. It’s a little tricky when removing & installing the freedom panels, but you‘ll figure a method and its not hard at all.

So I've had a JTTop on my 2020 I loved it! For my 2025 I went with the Spiderwebshade and I HIGHLY recommend them as a good product but as a good company.

We've left our Spiderwebshades on our Gladiator & Wrangler all winter.

JTTops doesn't make anything for the JT & JL with airbags (be happy they don't). They did, briefly, they shipped one for my wife's JL but instead of the straps like they had on my 2020 JT they used 2" Velcro along the roll bar - are you kidding me? Didn't ship a complete setup either and no instructions, told me to see how it installs on their Bronco. Awful company, can't recommend.

Bestop's SunScreen is pretty nice. Its retractable. It only works with a full soft top or SunRider.
