I can say that what I purchased both times was for a Jeep not specifically designed for the pioneer, but the second fit as if it was.
I think @CumminsPusher Probably made the best looking enclosure. But he's not doing them for sale. What a waste of talent!CEC makes the best looking enclosures in my opinion. Luckily mine still enjoys the open air when riding lol.

Ok this is the second one that fit almost perfect. Looking at the price in comparison to others it’s easy to see why I went this route View attachment 67103 View attachment 67104
Buttering me up to stay warm next weekend already? Not sure it’ll be cold enough to run it at 40, figure we can just snuggle. Wish had it installed for Xmas weekend though at -12 and below!I think @CumminsPusher Probably made the best looking enclosure. But he's not doing them for sale. What a waste of talent!
I spoke with Alien a year ago about them and urged them to make one for us. It was the best $$ I saw at the time.Maybe they didn’t offer that at the time you purchased, but if they do now and it’s the same company that you were happy with then I should just proceed with the pioneer version.
No argument here. I was assuming Joey meant commercially available lol.I think @CumminsPusher Probably made the best looking enclosure. But he's not doing them for sale. What a waste of talent!
So your spare does not look to be a 30" is that right?After all that I’ll need some rocker tubes for better protection and different approach to a rear tire and fuel carrier. My old hitch style worked great but not so much with both kiddos in the back. I need to be able to let the tailgate down.
Previous set up....

Another thought is my old tires....this will be the third takeover for the roctanes. With all the other goodies I didn’t leave any budget for tires. So I think I’ll try cutting these to add some more bite and flex and see how that goes. @snuffnwhisky get ready! I’ll be camping outside your shop for a while.
I see that alien now has one specifically for the pioneer. Is that what you got?
It was on a trailer from Canadian border to Tennessee and backSo your spare does not look to be a 30" is that right?
I bought one from Spidershade - made specifically for the Pioneer. While I wanted Red is only came in black and it was quite a bit more for than a jeep version. I loved riding with it in the summer and can tell the weight reduction when I remove the hard top. Like you I end up running my hard top more as I am worried about possible rain when riding for a few days.
@Eltobgi - I know you also have a soft top - can you trailer with a soft top on?
I actually would love to see a jeep type Bikini top for these things.

I have a spare 30 inch tire and wheel that matches the others but I usually leave it in the truck or in the trailer. That stock tire would do just fine getting me out of the trail. I have yet to need a spare tire but I still generally like to carry one.
Thanks for the information on the weight reduction up high when using the soft top. I was hoping that would be the case as well as a little bit less noise and a more open feel in the summertime.
Found the alien shade

Looks Great! How does it perform at high speeds? Curious as to movement and noise producedGot the CEC installed. I gave measurements over the phone for my chopped top and it fits like a glove. I love it.
