I got a Bestop Bikini a bit over a month ago from 4 Wheel Drive USA in WA. Was the best price I could get and they had one on the shelf. Only 1 other mob was a bit cheaper but wanted full payment up front and 4 weeks to get it in from the states. 4WD USA were great to deal with. Got the roll cage handles from them too.

Part number is BST52540-01. You'll need to get a bailey channel for the front screen seperately if you don't already have one but the top comes with bolt on loops to secure the straps to. Cost me $165 for the top and about $20 for an air bag to Brisbane.
Straps were just tied down to my tool box in these pics. Have since mounted the loops to the rear corners where they need to be.

it was a few yrs ago but im sure when i got my besttop bikini top from the states from central 4wd it was well under $100.
i got a lockrite locker and the top for $400. and the aussie dollar was shit back then.

Yeah that's true, I had a look there too and they are very cheap in the states if you're not in a hurry.

Yeah, thanks DRS, Spectre off road have em for about us$84 but the freight cost was too high and also the waiting time..So I was looking to get one locally.. Also I was after a set of early blinkers from CoolCruisers at $94 and the quoted freight was over $100... Jesus.. I cancelled that..
Thanks for your replies...
