Still stuck in Production on QA hold since 2/1. Looking for someone that has the 24 and can tell me how much room between the tailgate and the slide-out tailgate table when it's fully extended. I'm just trying to decide whether to buy the IAG foldable tailgate table or not. It's hard for me to tell if there is enough room when I'm camping/cooking to have the slide-out table pulled out and a foldable table down on tailgate to cook on. Thanks in advance!

When the slide out tailgate table is fully extended the tailgate has to be open, so that you could extend it.

When the slide out tailgate table is totally slid under, the clearance between the rear edge of the tailgate door and the lower platform of the slide out table is about 6 inches. That would give you the approximate depth you need to stay under for a folding tailgate table to fit.

Perfect. If tailgate is open would there be enough room for slide-out to be fully extended and tailgate table down?

Thx

It depends on the bottom thickness of the fold out table and where it attaches to, since I do not have one, hard for me to judge whether it will clear that little bump in the slide out table.

I took the second picture at the slide out table elevation looking horizontally toward the tailgate.
I measured about 3 inches between the attachment point in the tailgate which I assume is that opening in the tailgate door and the top of the bump in the slide out table.

That's perfect. Thank you!

The cactus green is amazing. Only other color I love outside RR.

I made a pulley system in my garage to lift the top and was wondering if it would be structurally safe to lift the top with straps run through the side window opening. The roll bar being set so far back makes it difficult to lift it any other way and I don't like the idea of putting pressure on any of the weatherstrips going from front to back with the straps.

Kind of a silly question here and I’m not sure if it was discussed previously but is the heritage top considered better than a typical MIC? New heritage owner here and I’ve heard horror stories about MICs cracking and leaking so I wonder if the heritage top is relatively better than a regular MIC.

Better so far for sure. The windows come out unlike the MIC and they look way better and more consistent. I still see MIC tops that look like Neapolitan ice cream in color variation. If these are inconsistent with anything the paint covers it up. Also, all the 2 door lovers get the bonus gunners hatch.

I def feel like the heritage tops are better. I’m loving my Bronco and so far I’m having no issues but for some reason I keep waiting for something bad to happen as if I’m setting myself up for failure (leak, engine issues, etc..)

I doubt you'll have any top issues. No vehicle is perfect but so far my girl has been damn close. My only issue was catching a stray rock and having to have my windshield replaced. I strongly recommend having glass coverage on your insurance as the flat glass will get hit. I took numerous hits before I finally got a crack. Luckily I had zero deductible.

I think so too but sometimes the issues other members posts about their broncos make me a little nervous. And I agree I don’t think any Bronco is 100% perfect. Mine’s been great so far the only thing I’ve noticed is a little rattle behind the brake when on idle or backing up but it’s not an issue as far as I’m concerned. And yep I pay a whole lot in car insurance but my coverage is pretty much as bulletproof as possible. Love your Bronco! My favorite heritage color is the race red so def a huge fan. Here’s a shot of mine from the day I picked it up last week!

Well I figure my Rattle comes from my Getrag M7… overall at 6k miles been bulletproof as well until this evening starting it and the screen popped multiple traction control messages… turned it off and restarted with no issues…only extended warranty is the long term safeguard for these drivetrain and electric issues
