Puttin a bestop completely down

[SP66]

Had a Rampage on my first Bronco, this one currently has a Bestop. Do they go down completely easily?

Can't find any videos on this to see.

Not as easy as a Rampage/Kayline type. I usually took mine completely off. When I had the old Kayline, I liked that I could roll it up. Although the windows did not last as long.

In my opinion, pretty much sucks to go up and down. I just take it off for the summer and cruise. Put the top on if it rains and such. Does not take that long (10 minutes or so by myself) but definitely not quick and easy.

Agreed on all...The Bestop riser in the front has a channel that requires you to slide the top's material out of it, either left or right. To loosen this up enough, you have to push the top back section up as far as possible. This should give you enough slack to slide the material out of the groove, and then fold all of the material back. I have an old boot from a Kayline top that I wrap my Bestop in and it keeps the top protected for the summer and I run the Bestop bikini thereafter. Sides and back are in the garage until Fall.

The Rampage top has the metal bar that fits into the channel on their riser and when you pull the back taunt it locks the top material in place. This is a lot easier to take down than the Bestop.

Just some tips...Have fun!
