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

- 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:
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Not sure what pricing will be but I know it will be competitive and you will get a quality solution.
- 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.
