Installed the Bestop Sunrider. This is the latest revision of the flip back top with a simplified installation. The revised version has fewer parts/hardware and also includes 2 additional support brackets on the back side. Overall a simple installation, but it did require some adjustments to the hardware as well as the stock oem latch brackets.
So far I am really liking it.
I will be creating a more detailed post soon.
.
When you mention "adjustments to the oem latch brackets", what does that entail? I am looking to add this to my bronco as well but want to make sure i can go back to the hardtop for the winter. It seemed like their installation video i watched a little while back indicated this was possible.

The online video from bestop for the 2 door install is aged. Some of the instructions apply, but not all. They have really simplified the installation. You will have no problems removing it for winter. I am in WI and plan on doing the swap each year. The OEM latch bracket on the passenger side had to be moved forward towards the windshield just a bit (1/8") so that the latch was more secure on the twill top. It's just the two factory bolts that have to be loosened and slid forward. Depending upon hos they are setup at the factory you may not need to adjust at all. Just be prepared that it will not be as quiet as the factory hard top, but livable.
I will post a separate thread on my install experience as I did have some issues, but nothing I couldn't figure out.

Really easy imo. I'm pretty comfortable installing vinyl but went smoother than I anticipated. Watch his second video, with the topo map hood overlay and follow the video. I used soapy water in a spray bottle. Clean your hood first and I also wiped down the hood bump with alcohol too just to ensure good adhesion.

I feel for you brother! I discovered a fat juicey nail in my inside tire sidewall on Memorial Day, when no one was open. About 15,000 miles on that one that needed to be replaced. Well that's why I have a money tree in my backyard I guess.

Unrelated to the attic shelf. What size Ruffland you running and how much do those pups weigh?
The "Backseat Rider's", they are the only ones that fit with the back seat's up. The dogs are Britt's and they weigh 32# and are about 19" at the shoulder. The one on the left will be 3, the one on the right will be 2, both in July.

Jim Tidwell realigned the door in one day and updated the window and wiper modules. All free of charge of course. Unlike the first dealer who had my Bronco for weeks and tried hitting me with a multiple thousand dollar bill.

Installed the OVS 270 LTE awning.

Installed the Rack adapters tailgate limiter. Super simple install. T25 bit, 13mm deep socket, and a 13mm wrench.

Thank you. I have a medium Dakota. I have to take out the piece of trim that attaches to the back seat and rear storage flooring to fit it. My pup is 65 lbs and I almost traded for a truck during hunting season.
