Also, looks like I have room for a tailgate table even with the pull out tailgate.

Any one have both and run into fitment issues?

I love the eruption green. Even more than when I saw it in pictures. The marine grade vinyl seems like it may be a little warmer than leather but not sure if it’s a downgrade vs cloth. I think I would have been cool with either one.
I wonder how the green would hold up being on a construction site constantly.

I’m not sure. If you keep good wax on it and keep stuff from sitting on it for too long I think I would be ok but it is a hotter paint than silver or white.
I’m wondering what the best product is going to be for the hardtop. I’m worried about water spots and the sun baking them on that. Maybe marine 31 vinyl protectant and cleaner?

Assuming I stick with my order, 4dr white 4cy OBX hard top, I want to paint or wrap the hard top a glossy black but I wonder how it’d hold up.

That’s would look sweet wrapped black. Love the look of the MIC top and flares and the hood cowling I just hope the the sun don’t fade it too fast.

Man, I see all these hard tops and I’m kicking myself for removing it from my order! I did the fatal mistake of listening to my dealer telling me if I stick with a hard top I’m 100% not getting a ‘23 bronco.

I absolutely love the soft top and would have bought one anyway but far easier to part with ~$1800 for a used soft top than $6000+ for a used hard top.

Oh well can’t dwell in that, too many other mods to be buying in the meantime. 🤪

That was exactly my thinking. If I didn’t get the hard top on my original order, I doubt I would have ever spent $6500 on one after the fact. I do see several soft tops people have listed on fb marketplace.

I got those too!
I used Turo to rent a wildtrak in Arizona for a week long road trip. We were in rain, snow in flagstaff, red clay in Sedona and monument valley… and one of our Airbnb was on a gravel road.

The sound of the gravel flinging into the wheel wells mudflaps and running boards was with us for 5 miles or more once we got back on the highway. I can’t imagine what that would have done to the doors at 80 mph!!!!

Essential
