| Bestop Header Bikini I chose Bestop since they make nice stuff, unlike that Steel Horse crap. This is an awesome thing to have on hot summer days. Although I really like having the top all the way off, it's really nice to have the bikini to keep you from totally roasting. It also prevents birds from shitting on your seat and steering wheel, which I've seen happen to a few people. It's also nice to have the bikini when the doors are on, it helps keep the wind down a bit. One other thing that is nice is it keeps tree branches and other shit from hitting you in the head when you're on the trail. It also keeps you dry when it's raning out. You get a little bit of water that comes in through the corners, but only if you leave it parked, and it only gets on your seat belt. If you're going to leave it parked for a while, buckle your seat belt and you'll be ok. At high speeds you get a little mist that comes in the back, but it's no big deal. Putting the bikini is pretty easy, once you figure out the best way to do it. The first few times it took me about 20 min., but now only 5. It would be nice if I didn't have to mess with the header, but at least it's easy to put on/take off. This bikini connects to either the door channels or the side bars. |
| Sun Performance Mirror Relocator Brackets I chose these bracket by Sun Performance because I didn't like the piece of shit Steel Horse mirros that I wasted my money on. Also, I really wanted to use my stock mirrors. These brackets work great when the doors are off, but the passenger door hits the mirror and pushes it way out when you open the door all the way. Even if the door didn't hit the mirror, the door frame still blocks almost all of the mirror anyway. This isn't a huge deal since you don't really use that mirror very much. The mirrors also fold in and tuck away nicely for those really tight trails. Now all I have to do is lift the doors off, pull the door light fuse, then I'm legal and ready to roll. |
| Steel Shit Horse Rear Deck Cover This thing is a piece of shit, like all Steel Shit Horse products, but it work great at keeping my tub dry when I've got the bikini top on. I also work with the soft top when the windows are off. You can't connect the rear corners to the channels, but if you close the velcro right no water gets in anyway. Sometime I'll get a Bestop one, probably won't be long cause this one's falling apart already. |
| Spider Web Cargo Net This thing is pretty dope, you can use it for all kinds of shit. I mostly got it so I can load a bunch of gear in the tub and keep it from flying out. It also works great to keep my dogs out of the front when I'm flat towing. |
| Bestop Tinted Window Kit I got these for my kid so she doesn't get blinded by the sun when I'm taking her to daycare. Plus, they look pretty sweet. I'm going to keep these off the trails so they don't get all fucked up and I never really use them on the trail anyway. They'll be good for towing so I can keep my dogs contained. |
