4Runner bikini kits are back

I have the install kits needed for a Bestop FJ40 bikini.
The main channel with stainless hardware is $60.00 and the optional support bow is $20.00. You will still need to purchase a bikini top, this is only the install kit. Let me know if you're interested, I can send you a total with s/h. I accept paypal and money orders. Pics below are of my kit and the Bestop FJ40 bikini.

By the looks of it, the support bow attaches to the shoulder harness mounting point on the roll bar. Will it work with the shoulder harness in place?

The bow really keeps the top from flapping at speed and aids in giving the top it's overall shape by keeping tension on it.

The best place I've found for the bikini is Windrock Offroad . Great guys with the lowest price I've found.

I can't say for sure if the bow will work with the rear shoulder straps, I have not tried. As long as the bolt is long enough to sandwich the bow between the strap mount and the roll bar, it should work. The bow is pretty flat at it's mounting point.

My mom lives in Ronceverte, I'll be visiting around 16th of July for few days. Would it be possible to come by and check out your kit in person? If you have one available then I'll more than likely pick one up, just want the wife to see your 4runner up close with the top installed. I know she'll like it. Thanks.

do you still have the install kit for the bikini top? if not do you know where i could find one. i looked at the site you listed to get the actual top, but im guessing it wouldnt come with an install kit to fit a 4runner since it is for an FJ40.

Yes I do, let me know your zip and I can give you a total. Windrock does not sell the kit because I make them . They do have the lowest price I've found on the top.

The bikini has a strip of plastic sewn across the front underside. The front of the channel has a slot that the bikini's strip slides into, then pulls back over the channel toward the rear of the truck. A very clean install.
