I don't sell anything, I just design stuff. If something I design is going to be sold, some company or person would have to pick up the design and market it, I have no desire to ever sell anything. For example, I designed the hardtop on my black Wrangler just for my Jeep but shortly after I finished it, a company picked it up and it's been on the market for some years now, although they left out a few key features (like the soft sides!).

I probably could design roll-up soft sides for the Bronco Heritage top if it comes with removable side windows, I'll have to look into that model.b

My homemade JKU hardtop also has soft sides but I haven't made that one available to any companies. Both hardtops have other features I would want to add to a Bronco, such as a rear barn door (I really dislike the two-step tailgate/liftgate process).

The barn doors I did for my Jeeps are fiberglass and bolt to the factory tailgate; adding a similar barn door to a Bronco to work with the factory Bronco hardtop would be pretty straightforward; I would definitely want to do that.

Welcome to B6G. Your safari HT looks similar to the Gr8Top Safari top for the LJ. I would love a similar top for the Bronco 2-dr with rear sliders. The barn door would also be pretty cool, but such an implementation would be incongruous with a removable top. Can't have a framed rear barn door with the top off.

The Gr8Tops top is my design, they licensed the design from me shortly after I finished building the one for my Jeep. They've been selling it for quite a few years.

Barn doors are compatible with a removable top the same way upper half doors are, at least in the Jeep world. In fact soft barn door uppers are also possible - this photo shows a soft barn door upper being removed, it works in pretty much the same was a a soft upper half door works. BTW the Jeep has a factory hardtop, both the hard barn door upper and the soft upper are compatible with the factory Jeep hardtop. Same could be done for the Bronco.

they all look good to me, looking forward to your Bronco ones.

I won't be able to do any of the fiberglass things like barn doors until I have a Bronco to work with, so for now for the things I design for the Bronco I'll have to stop by the local Ford dealer to measure and again to test fit, like the trip I made yesterday to measure for the no-drill installation kit for the Trail Kitchen.
