On my basically stock overland, my favorite mods are my tires and rubicon take off shocks. They make the drive so much better with the soft overland springs. It’s a way more controlled, stable drive but it still rides great. The tires make it look way more like a Jeep should, but they also have helped it drive better.

I’d like to have a sunrider also, but Covid has really impacted my budget.

The dual top costs a $grand over the hard top, while the MSRP on the Sunrider is $750. They'd make bank regardless.
They've had plenty of time to sell sunriders at the parts counter for JKs and JKUs. So why haven't they?

Holy Cow guys!!! I'm so thrilled to see the Sunrider for Hardtop so many times in this thread! You've hit on a few things that I always try to mention too, the heat soak that the Hardtop has and the fact that you need oven mitts to remove the Freedom panels when it's nice out.

This is a very neat thread idea!!

That statement is not far from the truth. I scorched my hands last week trying to remove them one day. I had to ice my fingers. I should have worn some sort of heat blocking mitts to grab them

what part under the seat did you mount it to?
Go look under your driver's seat. You'll see a ~3/8" rod that spans the underside of the seat from left to right. The handle that you manipulate to slide the seat back and forth is connected to this bar.

Yikes! I say it in jest but it really is pretty true, I've burned my hands a bit on 'em. Not quite to that extent but I could absolutely see that happening. Better just get those Freedom Panels off for good ;)

Well that is in the plans and sorry its not with a Sunrider at this time. I was just about to pull the trigger on a Sunrider when I managed to score a premium soft top for very good price so going to try that (Open Up the whole cab) Should for some reason it not work out to my liking I would sell the softop and go to Sunrider.

Either way sounds great as long as you're opening that bad boy up!

We would have gone full soft top, but our iKamper is very large, and there is no way to pull the top off with the tent on the back. We have a trip coming up in a few weeks, this is going to work very well, also we were worried about if it would be loud on the road, it seems no different then the freedom top so far.

I got lucky and found someone on Facebook Marketplace looking to sell a new premium top still in box for $1200. I just put it on this weekend so far so good. I am still struggling with my Mesh Safari Top that supposed to work with the soft top (LOL).
