Before I left for a deployment I dropped off my Bronco with Armadillo Designs so they could make Instagram Videos with it. But mostly so they could test out their Aluminum hard top! Well I’m finally back from my deployment and got some pictures of their mock-up on my Raptor! There were a few spots they have to adjust because of the brace the raptor has on the roof. Other than that it fits and looks great! Obviously there isn’t a window on the back, but I was able to play with one on the shop floor and it was much bigger than it looks in their pictures (so to speak). The interior sound deadening was a 1/2 inch hard foam material that seems like it’ll be good at sound deadening, but won’t hold any Velcro patches. While touring around their shop in Bellville, TX I was blown away with how much they have going on. Seems like they are going to have some super cool stuff coming to the market soon and I’m really looking forward to seeing their finished top in just a few months! If anyone has questions drop them here and I can probably answer them, I’m not sure they if they are on this forum or not. (I’m not paid or endorsed by them, just a fan of their hard top)

The Armadillo tops are nice IMO. If I decide to get a hard top, that is the direction I will probably go. All of these tops are expensive. Having a aluminum top is IMO a great idea. I have heard people say what about the heat? But cars now have aluminum roofs now.

How is the sound deadening in the top? It seems prices go up a bit when you choose it. Any info on that?

They look and feel very sturdy. I found out when I was there that the roof panels will fit in the back of the bronco too which is awesome

Wish the default wasn’t always a slant back.
I really wanted to like them, but even the "square back" is still slant. As Randy Jackson always said "That's a no from me dawg"

Yeah I get that. The slant back isn’t for everyone!

Update video from armadillo designs! Looks like things are moving along and they are still expecting December for 4 door slant back. 2 door and square-ish back to come soon after.
