Default bikini top

Anyone know of a good, easy and quick bikini solution to keep he hot sun off the driver of a 4 door Jk? I have a soft top, but geez the noon sun is killer and I'd like something to put over the driver and passenger to just break that up... but easy enough to get on and off because the soft top goes up every night.

when it comes to bikinis. I have the best top bikini. i believe you already would have the door surrounds so you wouldnt need to buy those. Get the best top bikini and the front channel bar and you should be good to go. those 2 parts would prolly cost you around $150 bucks and you can install it in about 3 minutes.

a bikini might be a pain for him, You say you put your soft top up every night right.... wouldnt that mean he also has to remove the header channel every night? I dont have one so I dont know how long it takes.... just putting that out there for you to take into consideration.

he would have to.. but mine is just 2 clamps that hold it in place. you flip 2 levels and its off. the bigger issue hes going to get annoyed with is the flapping at high speeds. I have a top prop that takes care of that. He could get that as well for another 60 bucks.

x2 on the Spiderweb shade. It stays on under the soft top (you only have to remove the two front bungees to clamp down the soft top). Can also stay on under the hard top. So it's always there when you go top down or take off the freedom panels. Flaps a little on the highway, but not bad, and does negate some windflow into the cabin.

X3 on the spiderweb. I have mine fully installed with the top up as I type this and it has been on there since last fall when I put the top back on for winter. Highly recommended!
