Does spider make a top that fits a 06 wrangler x?

[Brew461]

Yeah, the SW2 will fit your X model just fine. I am pleased as punch with mine.

that hugs the roll bars very nicely.

Need to see more pics though! Looks like you guys are on the right track.

BC - I've got to respectfully disagree. If the length of this thread doesn't already show it then let me say it - as a small company they really ARE striving to give the customer what they want. I've spoken to the owner, Chris, on the phone and via email and if there is one person that is truely listenting to the Jeep community and working to develop just what it is that WE want - it's him. If I hadn't already passed on my SW1 I'd have given it to you - gotta tell you, I'm VERY pleased with the SW2. I use it as a bikini top by folding it back and I do NOT fold it under the bar - just back over itself. Looks fine like that. Overall it's very versatile and I highly recommend it.

I've got no problem with Chris. He was rvery responsive to my emails and cancelled my order without any problems. I just don't like the top like that folded or otherwise. No worries.

Wow, what a long thread. The first one looked good, the second one looked like somebody bungied a tarp on the Jeep. The SW3 prototype looks like it's the best fitting one so far. Keep us posted when it's ready.

Looks great, any estimates on price or when it will be available for order?

[bman9089]

A couple of improvements:

1.) The rear portion of the top still doesn't cuve with the roll bars. You add Another gromet, or perhaps even make it a tad shorter. This will provide more head room too. SW1 curved nicely with the roll bars.

2.) For the windscreen, I'd find another area to tie it down to the floor. It looks like it uses the rear seat brackets which could interfere with the seats. Also, if you have any kind of cargo in the rear, they could rub those bungee cords or the top and fray them, and it also just takes up space right behind the rear seat.

Maybe you could put grommets on the side or the windscreen, and not the bottom portion, and then people could wrap them around the roll bar right below the seat belt mechanism, behind the driver and passenger seat. So basically, the lower part of the roll bar. That would make it cleaner, keep it tight, and most of all, keep it out of the way.

[buellwinkle]

Just curious, if you use the wind blocker segment behind the front seats, how do you get in the back seats?

Also, for ball bungees, check out local swap meets, the vendors usually have commercial canopies where the roof/tarp is held in place with these ball bungees you are using. I know they set these up every week and probably have a good handle on where to get ones that last.

Here's what I'm talking about for the windscreen.

I like the windjammer, but agree the back upper section would be nice if it were longer/curved more with the roll bar.
