I have spent the past few weeks thinking about how to manage the backdraft of a two-door with the top off. We would like to take a road trip and leave the top at home. It can be done without a windjammer but 3 to 4 hours with the wind pushing back on you will get old. Here is what I am toying with.
First, having searched high and low and not finding anything made for the Bronco I ended up testing out a Windjammer by Bestop, 8003235 Windjammer for 03-06 Wrangler TJ, $74.95
Yes, I understand it's for a Wrangler, we are one big happy family!
The results so far, it's working adequately, the backdraft has been considerably reduced, because of the pressure it doesn't flap in the wind, even at 65 mph. The top needs to be snugged up a little more because you can feel it coming across the top, back to front but on the other hand it does allow wind to escape behind it front to back. I'm still playing with it, additional customization to the straps are needed, open to ideas. I will say that even though it's not form fit the reduction in wind allows the wife to keep her hair down, no hat or hair band means a win for me and the Bronco! We have also noticed a considerable increase in temperature within the enclosed space, it’s a nice bonus for the cool mornings.
Before I go any further, has anybody found a solution that you believe is better? Open to all ideas purchase or DIY, I will say this one is looking good and work but is not perfect.
