Hey everyone!

Per my query in recent post, collecting data in hopes of gaining traction towards a resolution to get YOUR orders filled ("selfishly" so others like me can order with confidence). Obviously, the win for everyone is for Armadillo to succeed.

Combing thru all posts in thread found data below. Please everyone add data / correct as needed, including order numbers. ALSO, would be great to track orders filled too, including Insta or Facebook if you know of any!

SO much empathy for you all, gonna do my best to help as time allows, donated 3 hours of my time today to help, zero affiliation with Armadillo etc, just want one of these tops, they're so F-n rad! LOL

Cheers,

Michael

I'm still interested. I'm about to order my Bronco, and I'm going ahead with a soft top for now to keep my options open. The Armadillo top is still the best IMO; I just want enough assurance I'll get what I pay for.

How could stating facts be causing trouble? You ordered a year ago. The top is not in your possession. If a company has a problem with you stating the reality of the situation then they should have done something differently to avoid that.

I was being sarcastic about causing trouble. Also, They were still designing and prototyping the top when I ordered. I knew what I was getting into. I have appreciated all of the updates from social media and from them reaching out personally. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Gotcha. For some reason I thought they were actively selling and delivering tops when I ordered ours. So when they gave me a delivery date of May for my order placed effectively in April, that didn't seem out of line. And really the delays haven't even been an issue for me. But then it seemed like they stopped communicating with customers. Customers that paid in full up front. Not exactly inspiring confidence when that happens and they're still promoting the hell out of the product to bring in more orders.

I hope everyone gets a top timely from the order, I stopped preordering car parts on my last car after getting burned on a $200 part, can’t imagine dropping this much on a top without a solid and trustworthy delivery date. Maybe if they can do that next year I might be interested.

i noticed they have a new disclaimer that the tops block the satellite and GPS antenna. Some folks on the forum have had the same problem with some roof racks and gone with new antennas, anyone have plans to do that here? This thread runs the wire under the MIC top and I’m not sure you could do that with the Armadillo. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/siriusxm-gps-antenna-relocation-replacment.89992/

Some nice stories going on. I talked to a guy who claimed to be buying the property 1321 Nelius Rd
Bellville, TX 77418 in 2023. This conversation occurred at a BroncBuster portal install. That guy is the dude in the trucker hat delivering bumpers.

Thank you for responses. Starting a new business of this kind is no easy task, especially early on concurrently while in the design phase. SO much care and thought has been put into design, responding to consumer marketplace feedback etc, it's likely one cause of many for delays.

In the end hoping this turns out a great success for all of us and Armadillo!

I’m actively working on solving this. My GPS works no problem but I get no Sirius XM (which I really like). I’m going to drill a hole in mine and relocated the antenna to the top like the picture below.

Good news Everyone! (In my professor's Farnsworth voice):

Fabion messaged me and told me my top is ready, being crated, and will ship this coming week.

Oh happy day! He also informed me I will receive the email this coming week, but he wanted to let me know.

It has been a long journey, but the finish line is right there in front of me now :clap: I will try to document the process, and get as much as I can on this process.

I am not the first to receive one via shipping, I do think cammackey received his top and installed it already as he has the Raw Aluminum, or now what they call the sandblasted top. He does extensive photo shooting and is using his Bronco a shoot vehicle.

At any rate, I will either update here or start a new thread as I have a few other things to go on with my top.

Good news! The Dacia Sandero has an offroad edition coming out!

Anyway… (Jeremy Clarkson voice)

Wifey just told me Armadillo sent us a similar message. Timing couldn’t be better seems how I’m gone for the next two to five weeks 😂

@Ninjak and @SierraBronco very happy for you both. Please keep us updated.

If memory serves, @Ninjak received word their top was "complete" on or about November 18. That adds up to 3+ weeks for quality inspection, crating, etc, and maybe more. If you both would be so kind to let us know when you have actual tracking information. Thanks guys, your contributions are appreciated.

It would be really interesting to know if any other members have placed a new order and their promised delivery. There have not been many responses or updates to @mangelo's list and I have not ordered one myself for so many reasons detailed previously.

Along those lines, still hoping to hear from @TheLawnDart about the terms being corrected or any other actionable information. Will Armadillo be transitioning to orders with a fractional deposit or, much more appropriately, COD since they are apparently in production? It would be a nice show of confidence and welcome change that might boost sales substantially, at least +1. Otherwise, the view from the sidelines is good for now.🍿

Well, seems how they originally hit me up the first week of October telling me the top would be ready the following week, I’m not a useful resource on what to expect on inspection, crating, etcetera 😂

But if/when a big box shows up I’ll be certain to update the thread 👊🏼
