if they get rid of slant? I might be interested, I need all the cargo room I can get.
They have a square back being released the first couple months of 2024

They’ve done a lot of refinement since the prototype… Even more tempted to pull the trigger given the structural soundness seen during BroncBuster’s rollover and since ADV still can’t deliver a top…

A few pics from the vid…

I pulled the trigger. I purchased a Raw Aluminum version, slant back. I actually like slant back. The square back window seemed a little small to me.

Lots of refinements going on as you said. drain channels, better insulation rubber, and a myriad of other things. December cannot come soon enough.

I love how the slant back looks. Much more unique and looks badass!

Yes, huge points for the rain/water channel and care for proper sealing!

Defroster is standard, but they nixed the rear wiper/washer though. Not sure I like that, but guess it’s not a huge deal…

Well as a soft top owner, I do not have the back wiper. The people who I spoke to that do say they have used it maybe once. Nope not a big deal to me at all about the lack of a back wiper.

I use my rear wiper all the time with my hardtop. Also used it several times to wipe dust off. Not a deal killer, this is still the top I would get if I needed one. Maybe the slant will make it better, but I'd rainx that beeotch. Is what it is, I guess.

Hey, if you're picking up here in Texas how about bringing it through DFW for a peek? lol I'd buy you lunch! Terry Blacks or your choice! I want to see one...

Would take you up on that, but I am having it delivered to Miami. There was a time I would drive to Texas...........but lol that time has passed me on :)

I do plan on doing the RainX solution. I use it on all my vehicles. I am clearing a workspace, haha, and it's coming at the right time. December in Miami is perfect outdoor weather. I'll be able to work in the garage with no issues.

Be interested to see how they package it for shipment. I assume a big A.S.S. crate. lol

From what I was told in communication with them, it will come on a pallet. The pieces will be separated, and you assemble them together on your RIG.

It is a MOD design, not exactly like the MIC top, but it has a back, middle, and front section. So I guess that is the way it will come.

Beautiful workmanship, but that thing has to be crazy expensive. I’d guess $10k minimum.

I’d actually be surprised Ford doesn’t release a fixed roof (metal) version of the Bronco in 25 or 26.
