Default Bikini top 101 ???

Hey all
First jeep
first time taking the top off
It quickly became evident how a bikini top would be helpful.

So what are my options?

Looking for a mesh top
No clue who makes them other than smitty and spider
What are my other options
DWhat are the differences ?

For the mesh top think no longer. Spiderweb shade trail mesh. You can leave it on even with the hardtop on.

MAKE YOUR OWN!

Super easy, takes an hour, with buying the stuff.

Less than $50 as well, and you can customize how you want the back part.

Look in my album pictures for the supplies list, and do a search of "home made sunshade top" for a write up.

I leave mine on all year long. I keep it wrapped around my rear roll bar right now as I've got my TrekTop on.

Here's a picture of Sunlight, Roll Bar shade, and home made sunshade shade.

I though about the DIY cover
but I have a tendancy to over enginerr things
and it would end up taking 4hrs and cost more than a new one
Sooooo
who has the best deal on the spider web?

Spidershade and DirtyDog. I went DirtyDog just because I liked the idea of the 2 piece design.

Don't think you can go wrong with either.
