ADV Fiberglass making Bronco hoods, flares, SQUARE fenders, and HARDTOPs

That pic is of a softtop

It's called a teaser. Just like they "teased" us with the 5" fenders.

For the record in case no one has read the comments they said, "slant back" NOT "fast back". Fastback causes you to lose too much interior space. So it will look like the early broncos NOT a Humvee or Heep.


Merry Christmas !!!!!

So, really, they still have nothing, but they're trying to pretend that they have something.

2" fenders and hoods available now.

5" fenders for 4DR's should be able to be filled in the first quarter. Top should be shortly after. These things don't happen overnight, but they are still faster than Ford/Webesto. If you think about it, they started from scratch where Ford had years to perfect a top and they are still having problems. Small company, high quality, made in the USA, great people to deal with, they have got their shit together and they build some bad ass stuff. Good things come to those who wait.

Yes theirs will have wiper, defrost, and the rear glass will open. I’m assuming it will function like OEM

Who cares?

When I finally get my Bronco, it will come with a perfectly fine hood, and perfectly fine fenders. I see no reason at all to care what the aftermarket will have to offer by way of replacements for those.

Due to the unending f•••-ups with Ford's efforts to get a usable hard top to market, I will, however, be very interested in what the aftermarket has to offer there.

I only started paying attention to ADV because it once appeared that they might be a credible supplier for a hard top. But it seems that whatever credibility that they might have had is evaporating away.

It was probably dubious to begin with. I've not seen any evidence that they have any past experience with making vehicle hard tops; just fenders and hoods, which nobody needs.

At least Patriot Fastbacks is well established as a maker of hard tops for J••ps, and has released a rendering of what their upcoming hard top for the Bronco will look like.

Hard tops for Jesus, everyone, no shame in the name, of our lord, Jesus Christ, brother.

If I wanted a cheesy hood scoop, I’d buy another 4Runner

Hey @Ramble_Offroad maybe can you help me out here with Bob?? I think that was your post in the comments section. Something about identifying the problem with a solution already, something like that??

And their answer was ..........correct.

Product development at its core often centers around identifying problems and then developing products & marketing stories around said solutions.
Translation is this is low hanging fruit for solution based development.

Haha!! I had to do a double take myself though. But good one.

Stay tuned, hard top evidence will come in January.
