Just installed my Bestop Sunrider pics included

I like the idea of a Sunrider too. Thinking of this over the Trektop.

Anyone else pick one up?

Nice, also interested in what you did with those shackles on the front there. Can you point a fellow to where you got those?

Any chance you can post a pic from the inside looking through the opened Sunrider? I am curious about how much it actually opens the top prior to purchasing one versus a full soft top. Thanks for posting previous images.

I will if I ever put the top and doors back on. been driving fully topless and doorless for a while. Still LOVE the sunrider, but it is really only to get me through the times when doorless and topless isn't possible.

I just picked up some on amazon that had good reviews.

I bought and installed mine back in November, but unfortunately it wouldn’t secure tight on the passenger side as the area where the rail bolts to the sunrider wouldn’t line up causing it to be a little misaligned. Had to return it. Nice idea though.

I have this installed in my 4-door outer banks and was an easy install but I have a water leak issue on both A pillars. Ford has had my 2022 Bronco for a week replacing the gasket per the unreleased TSB but it’s still leaking. I’ve reached out Bestop and have to send some pictures of the install to see if I have a defective one.

@Amcole1984 What is your suspension/Tire set up? Looks amazing and I definitely want my Two Door Black Diamond to look similar.

Thanks! I have a 2 inch lift/ level and 35 inch Toyo AT tires.

Which lift kit did you go with? Also have you noticed a big difference in performance or ride quality with the 35s? That's the look I want but I'm hesitant for that reason.

Rough country lift. Had them on for a year and no issues. After about 4 months I did have to add 1.5in spacers after the suspension had settled. I started getting a little rub at full lock. Those photos are before the spacers. No issues since adding them and that was 9 months ago. I never felt a difference in ride quality at all.

I'm definitely getting one of these when they come out with the second row for the 4 door. Wondering why bestop doesn't use fabric that matches the factory top better? Still buying one, but the OCD in me makes me ask

Hi there!
This looks great! Do you mind if we repost on our social channels your review and photos?

I have a stupid question. is it advised not to go through a brush car wash with a Sunrider?

I hand wash only no matter what. Brush car washes DESTROY your paint. But I have seen videos in youtube with them being taken through the brush wash and there weren't any leaks.

@heliix We suggest, and this goes with any of our soft tops, that you go through a brushless car wash
