Def Code Orange. It's not as reddish as code orange, could it could pass without a sniff test. I have some other orange accents so it will be ok.
Lol still waiting on the "help". Man, this Miami time is a real thing here, so now its dark. I guess I'll leave it till the morning.
Huzzah! The Top has finally come.....HOME. (In The ROCK's voice)
Welp, the help came through! 3 hours late, but they came! In force! I guess they were ready to see this top I kept talking about lol. So broke out the work lights and did a little night install!
Overall I am happy. I have to do a few things in the morning, put back my overhead molle, install the DV8 pocket rear molle, and put my reverse Wolbox cam up. The top went relatively easy...there were a few parts that did not quite line up with what the video said would be so easy lol. But overall not to bad. I would say the hardest part was getting it off that scaffolding, and placing it on the Bronco. Some of the help was height challenged.
A few pics until I can get some better ones tomorrow.

Wow that looks great on your rig! Looking forward to see more photos and details of what didn't quite line up during the install. I surmise it was certainly worth the wait for you.

Yep! Let’s see when EVERYONE that prepaid gets a top!As we enter slow deliveries please remember this thread is a
Then at least that group is safe!
Ooooooooooooo that white on white slant back actually looks much better than expectedWelp, the help came through! 3 hours late, but they came! In force! I guess they were ready to see this top I kept talking about lol. So broke out the work lights and did a little night install!

These interior panels really give a lot of useful storage. Between those and our toolbox I’m not worried about the loss of storage going slantback at all.
Bonus points for being able to mount the dog-sized gerbil watering spout in there.

Ok. So I went out and double-checked things, adjusted some others, and put my Molle panels up. Ran into the issue of big hands and now much smaller spaces with the overhead molle, but got inventive and got it done. I then put the rear molle up and after going through a few things on the passenger side, I breezed through the driver side. The one hicup was that the DV8 instructions said a T50 for the seatbelt retainer, but it was a T45. Thank goodness the Bronco roll-up had a T45 alen wrench. Took longer, but I got it done.
What's left? Well I need to run the 3rd brake light for the Armadillo top, and I need to put up my WolfBox rear camera. Took some more pics as well. I plan to take her out tonight and see how things are. I have not driven it since I received the top, and a back full of tools etc.

It’s nice having all the extra room above the overhead storage panel. Will make it much easier to store handheld radios and such.Ok.

I almost ordered the rigid roof light. Do you know if I have to take the top off or can I get to the wiring for the aux switches without removing the top?Ok.

The AUX switch for the roof light is underhood. I forgot the colour of the wires, but mine is wired to AUX1 which has the biggest AMP. You should not have to remove the top to do the light.
So the wire to connect to the light is under the cap at the roof or what? I haven’t googled enough but thought since you had it and the top - I thought I would ask you first lol. The top looks amazing. Loving mine.
Ahh Ok I understand now. Yes, it's at the cap. Haha it's been so long since I did the lights.
Thank you
These tops were well worth the wait. I already had someone ask me are these the new tops Ford are shipping with.
