Great video. Bikini top is awesome addition to any Wrangler. It really makes the jeep ownership allot of fun just cruising around. You get the open air feeling without sun damage to your skin. And if you get a windjammer you can pretty much go year around almost without using the full softtop (depending how agreeable you are to allowing weather too get though the openings) . It's allot of fun

Cool Jeeps, cool bikini top and really cool dog. You‘ve got it made! I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and watched as many of your videos as I could squeeze in. I particularly enjoyed the Dynatrack axle build process. Although I’ve planned and commissioned the build of a couple of sports cars and restomods, I‘m new to off-roading and in the process of researching an open, off road vehicle for use on the tiny mediterranen island of Ibiza. Currently on the top of my list is a build based on a seventies Land Cruiser J4 with electric conversion and top quality axles and chassis equipment. Any content from you in this regard would be most welcome.

No. As I mention in the video, I like this top because it comes with a windshield header channel. This allows the top to be secured to the windshield frame. You would not be able to install your hard top freedom top panels with this installed.

So I recognize the video is a couple of years old now but the link you provide in the description for the 4-door version actually goes to a product from a different company. Your link goes to a top from Rampage Products ($120) and not the one from Rugged Ridge ($224)

Nope and I can tell you that there really is no need for it. The traction control system that come on the JL Wrangler is outstanding. It almost feels like you have lockers.

@wayalife

Sorry, I have no experience with the 4-door version and it would be a bit different than what you see in this video. That said, I have installed tops like this on my JK's and they didn't have the flapping problem you've described. It could be you may not have installed what you have correctly, as is pointed out in this video.

I can understand why bikini tops were something you’d want back in the day, but today if you’re not going with a mesh one I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just run a OEM style soft top with the windows removed. Seems it would be about the same experience, but you can keep the windows (and uppers) in the trunk to seal it up quickly and easily in case the weather got bad or you decide you want AC.

Well, for one, we weren't able to order this JL with a factory soft top. I discussed the reasons why a few videos back. For two, I really HATE the look of the JL with the soft top windows out. To me, it looks totally lame. Three, we run most of our Jeeps like this all summer long and love it. But then, that's just us 😎

It wouldn't be a factory option but yes, something you can order from the factory so I would definitely say stockish for sure. 😁 EDIT: I just remembered that you can now get a Recon package and yes, that does come with 2.5" of lift and 35" tires so yes, that would mean it would still be stock in my opinion.
