I ordered on the 16th and it's arriving today. Guess they were out of stock for a bit.

If you put the hardtop back on, are you able to takeoff the front panels with the jtop still on

Yes, there are zippers to access the latches while the Jtop is on.

Depends on your needs.. I need something that is rain proof'ish and mesh tops will not cut it for me..

I take my hard top off and leave it off for several months at a time as I keep it stored at an external storage unit.

I went with this option and am very happy with the rain protection it offers..

https://broncobikini.com/

I've had it on, and the hard top off, for a few weeks now and living in the PNW means it rains a lot and almost daily.. No real issues with it. The dash area stays dry and it does not flap at freeway speeds..

You can leave it on when reinstalling the hardtop..
I don’t get it. What’s the point of having the roof off? That just seems to me like you get the looks, but none of the benefits. Plus sell the airborne dust and dirt without actually getting the open air experience.

100% JTops. It’s almost like it isn’t there. You get everything you want from an open air experience but the benefits of a significant decrease in wind and sunburn.

I have the new mesh version from Dan at https://broncobikini.com/ and it's top notch. I had 0 desire to put velco all over my Bronco and Dan has made a fantastic alternative. Took 5 minutes to install and 5 minutes to "adjust" the Bimini and put the hardtop over it. Plus it's super easy to remove completely if you want to for the winter. Final cherry on top is Dan is super easy to work with and very responsive. Above and beyond customer service.

If you think that running a canvas bikini for those who live in rainy environments is the same as running with the hard top on then I don't really know what to tell you..

Rock on, I guess.. LOL

Please explain. I honestly don’t get it. What’s the benefit of a canvas bikini?

I’va had the $45 one from Amazon for a couple months now and it is pretty great! Fits very tight and does not flap in the wind. When I put my hardtop on I just unhook the front and roll it back so I can access the t-top locks. I figure if it last one season I got my moneys worth, but it’s made pretty well and expect it to last.

The tops that require 3M tape to hold the Velcro for the top I would avoid. I have been battling the tape for two years. The surface was prepped and the tape just can’t hold the Velcro fast at the corners. The top is stretched and at highway speeds the front corners give. Other tops have hold downs that hook into the factory openings on the roll cage. I recommend one of those set ups.
