[Slimpickens]

Hey Mike, not sure on your answer from yesterday… in 3 weeks you expect to release a hardtop version for the 4 door or expect to release a 2 door soft top version?

Spoke to the owner yesterday and he said he is almost ready to debut the hardtop version.

Looking forward to a high quality mesh top you can leave on under the hard top.

Slim, we have a design session next week at our Anaheim, Ca manufacturing location to review the design aspects of the 4 door hard top version. At the same time we will be evaluating the final version of the 2 door. We know it’s been slow going but it’s important to get it right! The whole team is getting together to finish this off!

The temperature difference because of mesh color is so slight it’s not a factor. What does effect the temp is the UV rating of the mesh.
Our Titanium mesh blocks 90% of the UV rays and the regular colors block 80%.
The titanium is s slightly tighter weave hence the higher rating. It does effect how much sun passes through and temperatures of the interior surfaces. Once again the difference is very slight.
Not all mesh from other vendors meet our specifications. We strictly use mesh manufactured by Twitchell in Dothan, Alabama. Others may use less expensive imported mesh that is dip dyed in color rather than the PVC coating being impregnated with the color. It will fade faster than a high quality USA manufactured mesh and have a lower UV rating.

Hope this helps,
Mike

I'll pull the trigger when the 2dr becomes available.

I have fantastic news! The outstanding team at J Tops USA is nearly ready to begin production of the 4 door soft top Bronco Bimini solution. They came down to my house the other day to put a test version on my Bronco and are now making a few final adjustments. This Bimini from J Top is outstanding and by far the best solution for the Bronco four door soft top, period. I have it on my vehicle currently and will be providing regular updates to their team as they finalize it.

Here is a link to their Facebook, they just posted a photo of it on my Bronco: https://www.facebook.com/jtopsusa

• I will not be posting photos of my prototype so please don't ask, you can see photos on their Facebook above. Once I have the final version I will share photos.

What I love, and I formerly owned the Bestop Bimini which was not a good solution so I can compare:

1. The team at J Tops USA, the owner is dedicated to quality and his customers and will not accept anything less than the best: https://www.jtopsusa.com
2. Durability and quality of the material (far superior in everyway to Bestop). The stitching, the industrial magnets, the screen, the straps and buckles, placement, everything just great.
3. Fit! It fits like a glove (I thought of an OJ reference but thought it would be in bad taste). They spent a lot of time on this challenging opening of the Bronco to ensure a perfect fit with no gaps, tight pull, and amazing anchoring points that don't interfere with the operation or the side curtain airbags. Also, no bar in the middle of Bronco so you still have 100% of your opening. The Bestop was terrible in this regard with a horrible aftermarket fit that should had never been put into production. My words are harsh, but I stand by them. With that said Bestop did have good customer service and I thank them for that.
4. Installation was easy. Once again better than Bestop where you had to remove your rear speakers. No removing of speakers with J Tops solution. The buckles and straps are superior and you have no straps flailing in the wind. I am going to increase the tension in a few days after sitting in the Texas sun. I only had to remove the middle bracket that the soft top latches onto in Sunrider position which took less than a minute using the toolkit that came with the Bronco and you just put it back on after.
5. Performance is awesome! The tension, fit and adjustability are terrific. No noise, no sun, and easy operation of the soft top. The fastest I have traveled is about 70 MPH.
6. Not sure what pricing will be but I know it will be competitive and you will get a quality solution.
7. Family reaction: My 6 year old daughters loved it, said it was way better than the other Bimini we tried. They especially loved the graphics and fit. My wife, who is an OCD accountant, thought it was far superior and was impressed. She does not want the flag and Bronco on it, she prefers a clean graphite color. I am leaning towards the flag Bronco design which looks amazing with the Cactus Grey. Still not decided.

I love this solution and the J Tops brand. This will be my first product of theirs and I will be a loyal customer forever. Can't wait for others to try this out on their Broncos. I know they have a strong Jeep following.

So you cannot keep the soft top on and latch itback in place with the J Top?

Yes you can

No, that is not correct. It works the same way with the Bimini on. The soft top will still function the same.

 

[Bullet42]

No, that is not correct. It works the same way with the Bimini on. The soft top will still function the same.

it says to put it on you must remove a latch of the soft top. I ask because your competition doesn’t look as good but you can leave it on when you latch the soft top back down. Just want to make sure.
thank you.

 

[Bullet42]

Yes you can

Have you done it. I want to keep it on. It definitely looks better than the one on the Ford.com
thank you

 

[STX Bronco]

Will have release date next week!

Will there be provisions for the 2D Bestop Soft top setup? I know there is a lot of extra hardware up top on those.

You only take the side bracket off when you first install. Then it’s reinstalled. You actually don’t have to take it off. You can stretch the binding over bracket but it’s easier to just take it off and then put it right back on.
I hopes this helps.
Mike
