Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Having recently taken the top off my 40 series and just went on a long trip without a top, which was cool but I was thinking of making up a windjammer to stop the wind messing up the back of my hair, (just kidding I have no hair) but I think it will make long drives more comfortable like the ones seen on some jeeps.

What sort of advice do you need m8?

Mainly what effect they have on the wind buffeting the back of your head................Cheers Dazz

i run that setup on my TJ every now and then and it works great....stops the wind smacking u in the back of the heap for sure just take pics of that into any motor trimmer n he/she should b able to knock u something up

Cheers Timmy

the other thing i forgot to mention is that it stops the nice exhaust fumes coming up n circulating in the cab...mmm...carbon monoxide...mmmm...

Are the Bestop (and / or other producers) ones that are made for Wranglers waterproof when used in conjunction with a bikini top and the factory door surrounds?

More like water resistant

They dont seal where the top meets or around the doors but will keep a light shower out and if you are moving then even a heavy storm you dont get that wet

Try the bestop halftop or the california tops for a water proof version it is all one piece in these tops

my homemade windjammer works ace and cost $0

I'm running the windjammer at the moment and it's really quite amazing how effective it is - with a bikini & windows up, you still get that biting wind on the back of yer head/neck/arms. But with the jammer on, it's just like driving with a full top on. Even with the roof off (as seen below) you still hardly get any wind in the cab!!! They REALLY work!

what advantages do you get with these windjammer setups as opposed to a full roof? i understand that opposed to no roof it eliminates wind circulating from the back to the front, but why not just have the full roof? in my sierra i go roofless and no doors or half doors, as often as i can.

There are several reasons but i guess the main advantage is for a different look. I have it because it's easier to take off and put on than the full top and causes less wear on the full top.

Thanks jeeps for the info ,do you think a windjamber made from black shade cloth with a steel frame do the job and Nam don't worry I was thinking of making one maybe like yours eh

i thought that, that was the main reason but wasn't sure. thanks for clarifying that up for me.

Found this on an american site it was relevent to this thread and I thought was cool...........Dazz

That looks good. You should be able to get someone to make up something like that pretty cheap. There a dude in Logan tht specialises in tonneaus, tops etc. Made to order.

I was thinking of making a roof like kermit has on his LJ80 which is a little top ( bikini like ) with a removable clear rear window which goes down to the tailgate area if you like sorry don't have any photos i have wondered how that would work
