Mesh shades

Looking to get a shade for the JLU. On my jk I have the spiderweb jkini and it’s great. For the JL I went and looked at their website, and other vendors, and it’s almost $200 for the front and rear sections from spiderweb. To me that’s a little steep.

Has anyone tried any of the other brand shades for the JL and can you comment on the quality? I know it’s just mesh but want the best quality for my money.

Glad you posted this. I have had one of these in my shopping cart on Amazon for awhile but never pulled the trigger because of the pricing. I'd like to pick one up for the Moab trip...

My neighbor had the rugged ridge model on his Jeep and liked it. It never flapped in the wind and he didn't have any issues. I've been looking at the Jtops shades. Still pricey but I like the design a lot more than the SWS. I got some samples from them but like you I just can't pull the trigger for that price.

We had the Alien shade on the ex's JL. It did the job well, and no flapping in the breeze. I don't recall the cost, but it was definitely less than Spiderweb.

She got me one for the JK, I need to find where it is stashed before Moab

But it comes with bungie cords too🤣🤣🤣

Lol, Still not sure if it;s worth it!

The Alien shades are $100 cheaper but are made in China. Not sure if it's worth the extra $$ or not. The distressed flag version on the Spiderwebshade site is pretty cool but that one's $300! :crazyeyes:

I just put on my JTops USA shade. The quality is way better than my JK spiderweb. Haven’t been out topless yet, so can’t speak to shade it provides just yet.

The made in China part sucks. I would rather support our own, but I didn't buy it. I still feel half guilty though.

When I bought my JL4D Spiderwebshade they had a 20% coupon code. Google Fu shows that they have a 15% code right now:

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have you looked into the Mopar mesh tops? I’m not sure how well they are made but not too bad of a price. This was what I was planning on getting when ever I order my JL


https://www.amazon.com/Mopar-82215390AB-Bonnet-Wrangler-Models/dp/B07NRWRY2T
Mopar looks like a good option for the $$$
I personally like J Tops USA. American made and I think they are running 10% off now

Some of the reviews I have read on the mopar top are not good. They say quality isn’t good and it flaps around to much.

I will check out JTops as well

Alien shades website isn’t working and can’t seem to find them for the JL via google. Do you remember where you got it?

Alien's storefront is Amazon I believe

I was just looking at that on my lunch break an hour ago. Saw they were $140ish for the front and rear sections.

The JTops are more expensive than the spiderweb shades! $240!

10% off the JTops right now. Not cheap. But don’t look cheap either. Don’t feel cheap. Full coverage and no bungee balls!

That’s good to know and I was going to just buy it without looking at reviews lol 🤦*♂️🤦*♂️ glad you started this thread I guess the more expensive is the best option.
