Glad some of the team here are seeing movement. Nice pics @SierraBronco.
In other developments, Armadillo Designs has changed their terms and conditions. They still have a bit of unacceptable wierdness in the Disclaimer section that is contradictory to their updated Warranty section, some issues with which were pointed out here. Progress? Perhaps.
Though these tops may be lovely, some dark, we still have miles to go before putting this to rest. Along those lines, I am still waiting for COD vs CIA payment terms. That is the inflection point whereafter a company has the stability and momentum sufficient to not leave those at the end of the line holding the bag instead of mounting their new tops.
Anyway, I am very much looking forward to seeing these new tops mounted with honest impressions of the ease or difficulty of the process. Hoping the rewards are great for all your patience. You folks have earned it!

Delivering some makes them better than ADV, and still on track with Archetype.
lets see how this shakes out
I just saw one posted on Facebook that a customer put on his Carbonized Gray last night. That top looks really good on that color.

I think I’m missing bolts. The install video shows 8 supplied. I only have 4 and the first step is to install 6 to go on the rear. SOS

Thanks for sharing, *@BroncoBill44*. Check your assembly. They might already be installed in the frame holding the whole works in place on the pallet scaffolding.

These… it says install 6. I only have 4. The bolts holding the shipment together are not this type.
Well, those are unique, meaning purpose built, double end studs with an apparently generous tolerance on the body length (unthreaded part). Looks like black zinc coating but also some dinged up threads. Hard to tell relative to themselves but could be a 1/2-13 (0.4891-0.5 major) thread if you have something to measure the OD. A fully threaded stud of the same dimensions might also work, or wait for the replacements. The latter being your safest option since this would not be an item you can find at Home Depot. Grainger, maybe. I would not consider the install complete without the other two studs.

No.
545lbs...... minus the pallets and packing, what does this top weigh??
