Whats the go to bikini for summer fun?
Seen several that utilize the door surrounds. I would think part if the point of using a bikini is to protect the expensive soft top parts.

I won't swear to it, but I think most of the TJ bikini tops do utilize the door surrounds to capture the sides above the cockpit area... We had a Bestop bikini top for our white LJ, and the "new" blue LJ has a frameless soft top that can be stripped down into a bikini top mode, and they both use the door surrounds. We also had a Bestop bikini top for our '03 TJ Rubicon that, again, used the door surrounds. We typically don't stray too far from the mall, but we never had any issues with keeping them in tact

While I might not be the bull in the china shop (Jim) I've been known to put a Jeep on its side...
Pivoting on the cage is how its done sometimes

I'll have to dig around in the garage. I think I still have a TJ bikini top and header bar I acquired. I always used the Safari top.

Yeah, I'd be looking for the full length top also. Don't think Isabel would enjoy full sun all day...

Man, the more I look into TJ tops the more confused I get. The TJ has a soft top on it now, so apparently I need to pull the soft top to see if the header is seperate from the top material. Then if it does I would need a header style bikini/safari top. If not, some sort of channel? Or Dave's header bar (if found)

The soft top has an integrated header bar with latches attached to it. I have a bikini/safari top header bar that will work for you. One less thing to buy!
