Bikini pics

Put together a bikini for the Bronco, The kids got tired of getting wet when it rained on the trails:cry, and wanted some shade. So a little thought, the support bow from my softtop and $25 of vinal gave me this.


What do you all think?

Does not flap but need to put in an extra bow some how, it kinda gets sucked down in the middle. Thinking of something in this area.

I would really like to know how you did it along with more pics of your brackets, how it is attached to the top above driver/passenger, how you made the actual cover, materials, cost etc. I have been thinking about this for along time. What I have been thinking about would extend even further back. more, mnore MORE! Looks great by the way!

It has 7 snaps in the channel at the back of the cab. The material was just a couple of yards of marine vinal hemmed to what I thought was the right size I think 57.5 wide x about 38 long. I think it was right about 25 with webbing and upulstery thread, allready have a sewing maching but it is a 50 year old one from my grandma, kicks *** though. I am working on replacing the brackes with some marine standard the current ones are kinda getto.

Looks great... If you're wheeling with kids in the back though, I'd get a rollbar with the rear "family loop"... especially without the fiberglass top on.

I like it, very cool!!! One of the drawbacks to running topless was the sun beating down on the back seat and looks like you have alot of shade. JSM84
