I need to get a sunshade by the weekend for my JKU...What brand is recommended(i think I know)?Its mainly for the rear seat where the kids sit. Can these be folded back some of the time? Recommendations on brand and where to get for quick shipment would be appreciated..Thanks
Bestop. Safari Top .. I like spider shade but if your sensitive to sun you still get sun also lets rain in. I went with safari top for my Rubicon trip in July and was in a downpour on way home and nothing got wet ...
Love my spiderweb shade for my JKU. I am bald and keeps my head from getting burned. Also much cooler sitting at traffic lights than naked. Most sites have them I usually get pretty quick shipment from quadratech.
I have the two-piece dirty dog in my JK two door and it works great. No noticeable flopping and no gaps in between. I just put the hardtop back on and it also looks great with the hardtop installed
I've had a Spiderweb shade on my JKU for a little more than a week now. Easy to install and keeps the hot afternoon sun from roasting me. My drive home this afternoon was more enjoyable as I didn't have to pull my hat down to my eyebrows to see as I was headed west. Installed the hard top tonight with no interference. Quadratech purchase. The only gripe with them is my shade went FedEx to USPS and tracking became more difficult. No big deal.
Love my SpiderWeb Shade. I've had two summers with over 100 days running topless and it is hands down my favorite add-on that I've done to my Jeep and the one I get the most use from.
May be difficult to get anything shipped for use this weekend. You really should let them sit in the sun for a bit before installing. Waiting for my house to close before ordering my Gearshade but I really like the printed flag in gray.

X'2 I ordered the same one. Paid lime an extra $9.00 for overnight shipping. Had it by 8pm the following day, pretty easy install. I leave it in with my hard top as some extra air barrier insulation against the tx sunshine. Doesn't flop around when top is off even at 75-80 speeds. There may be higher quality brands out there but this one works great.
I saw a lot of people who spoke highly about it, and I got one. I was thinking it was not too much different than my soft top. Once I put it on, I saw why.
It is like a screen door above your head which really blocks the beaming sun. It really came into handy when I was off road...in the hot, sunny day. You move along so slow, that there is no moving air. Before I put it on, I found myself stopping in shaded areas just so I would not cook.
It really takes the edge off...Just enough to keep things cooler, but, not so much that you are enclosed.
It looks about the same as a bikini top as far as brightness, but you have better airflow. I have done both in the past and prefer spider webshade by a lot.
