Bikini pics for Yukon
I started a new thread instead of posting these on the soft top thread.
Important lesson in the second picture. Notice the 3 snaps on the roll bar. The guy that made it did not leave enough fabric hanging down so at highway speed the top lifted in the middle. The snaps hold it in place perfectly but it killed me to drill them into the roll bar. Otherwise I like it.

Re: Bikini pics for Yukon
Are these the bikini tops that Yukon arranged to be made?

Re: Bikini pics for Yukon
A local guy made this one for me. I should have gotten one of Yukon's as the price of his was better. The local guy, surprisingly, had a roll of the hound's tooth for my truck seats, so I got him to make the top while he repaired my seats.

Re: Bikini pics for Yukon
OK. I am currently trying to get one made from the source Yukon found. He said he was waiting for a few more orders before making the next batch.

Re: Bikini pics for Yukon
That looks great.
NuBomb - be sure to post up some pics when you get your bikini top.

Re: Bikini pics for Yukon
Greetings, y'all. I'd like to learn more about Yukon's bikini top supplier. Would someone please provide the contact info?
Also, what about the news that BestTop might be discontinuing production of the K5 top? Can someone definitively confirm that story? Attachment 287355 Thx in advance!

Re: Bikini pics for Yukon
I did not get a chance tonight to take some pics of the soft top but will tomorrow.
I got the roll bar from another member on the board last year. I was very lucky.

Re: Bikini pics for Yukon
Rollbar came withit, possibly a factory thing. I shortened the rear to mount to the top of the wheel wells. I hope to get rid of it by next summer...
