The conversion to an open-air ride is the main reason why Jeep Wrangler owners choose to install Bestop's Sunriders roofs. Despite the cool factor, both figuratively and literally, the one major disadvantage of Sunriders is that it can't hold any heavy cargo. Unlike vehicles with hard metal roofs, Sunriders will sag, droop and become damaged when forced to carry baggage and bags. Forcing you to choose between the fishing kit or the beer cooler.

This particular customer pain is addressed by Bestop and Rhino Racks. They teamed up to design a cargo rack that's custom-sized to fit the Bestop Sunrider Hardtop while leaving enough open space for folding back the soft top. Rhino Rack Sunrider mounts it's patented Rhino Rack Backbone inside the Hardtop to help support cargo weight and eliminate sagging. The Rhino Rack Sunrider is made from super strong Nylon and Aluminum that's both lightweight and durable. It has a sleek aerodynamic design to minimize wind drag when cruising at high speeds.

Bestop founder Tom Bradley started his company as a small upholstery shop in Boulder, Colorado in 1954. To outdoor enthusiasts, the Boulder area is synonymous with off-road adventures because of its. jagged Flatirons, snake-like canyons, rugged terrain, and thick forests.

Bestop developed custom upholstery and roofing solutions that catered to off-roaders and they became known for creating quality soft tops for Jeeps, pickup trucks, and flatbeds. The company quickly grew and by the 1960s, Bestop canvas soft tops are being sold throughout the United States and after a few years, international orders started coming in.

Today, Bestop is the leading producer and manufacturer of premium soft tops for Jeep Wranglers, Jeep CJs, and various flatbed truck models. Bestop has a long and colorful partnership with Jeep and since 1986 they have been the official supplier of factory soft tops for Jeep Wranglers. Since starting with 7 employees, Bestop has now grown to an international company with more than 500 employees.

The Bestop headquarters is still based in Colorado where they continually developed new product innovations like the Ultratop and the Sunrider. To enforce their strict quality control, all Bestop products are designed, developed, and manufactured in North America.
