looks great. I notice you are in Memphis. Did you buy those covers local? I'm looking for the same setup. Thanks.

Do you know if my hardtop-only JK will have the necessary hardware? Or is this like the bikini top from Bestop that requires the door frames for proper attachment (I have the Mopar Sunbonnet top for that reason)?

Also, I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to throw up larger versions of your pictures for those of us who are hard of seeing.

THESE ARE CRJJEPSTER's IMAGES:

I love the look (I've got black on black), but boy that flash light and extinguisher are now screaming, "steal me".

Unfortunately for me, mine wasn't such a great fit and it dented the tub upon install. I have yet to get estimates for the damage.

In general though, the bikini top and duster looks great on the 4drs (2 doors too).

Thanks for resizing the pics, still learning

I have just the hardtop, You will have to install the rear channel and two"channel clips" for it..Total was like $70 plus the rear deck cover I got from David at Northridge which I think was $120ish...

So are you saying if you have a hardtop only, you have to purchase extra parts that are not included with the bikini or duster to make them work right? I was going to order the exact setup you have there this week. From what the instructions look like, all I need is the windshield header. I didnt see any mention of needing other parts. Can someone clear this up and if there are other parts, let me know what they are and where to get them please?

If you want the rear deck cover you need the rear channel and the two "clips" it fits into...as far as the bikini top you will only need the header channel and the bikini top...hope this helps

Mfg and part numbers, anyone? I read the installation manual for the read deck cover and it appears that we may need some Mopar parts, but if someone could specify exactly what, I'm certain that us softtop-challenged folks greatly appreciate it!
