don’t think so… Ursa Minor is developing one of those but not sure when that one is coming out.

having been in and out a few times now, i do have a complaint... theres nothing that keeps the back hatch closed. id like a latch to not have it pop up every time i need in the back. I might look into designing one that uses the molle rack screw holes that are already there
@SierraBronco @Ninjak similar feel or am i just too used to the soft top being closed constantly

I have that same feeling. Although it doesn’t pop open fully and swing up each time, I’d really like it to latch in place. I have to press on the hatch and swing the tailgate closed just to keep all the seals in place. I don’t hate it but it’s a nice upgrade that I’d prefer.
I have noticed that as well. I think its because we were use to the soft top and having to hit the latches for it to come up. I had the IAG lift assists as well. My hatch does not go up, it just lift from the frame a little because the door is open.
I also have to close my tailgate harder, but that is not a big deal. Not like I am slamming it close, but more force is required now. This though does not bother me, this top is head a shoulders over the soft top.
Going to hook up the 3rd brake light today and run my Wolfbox camera to a location in the back. I think I have a good idea where to mount, just need to make sure I am in the open space through the molle panel.

Very nice And well done!!!!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.
I reached to submit an order for the next batch (a few spots left) then they said there no slant top for the 2 door. Ugh...
Thanks for posting.
Slantback on twodoor would look awesomeVery nice And well done!!!!

Ours doesn’t pop open when the tailgate opens, but we do press on the hatch when closing the tailgate to prevent the seal from bunching up. And now that I’m looking at the differences between our “issues” perhaps we mounted ours just a tad further back than you guys.
HEy, anyone else in our group..(lol i can say that now), have the rear molle panel? And does it bother you while driving?
I am looking to mount my wolfbox, but if I put it inside, I get more of the Molle panel than I thought I would The pic is clear, but the checkerboard is there. lol. To mount outside, I need to find my old 3rd light, and get an extension to clear the 37's, then mount. Also wondering if I have enough wire..I think so...that would be a non-molle view, but the cam would be outside. Now I think about it, I would need an extension because of the door opening and closing.
Sigh...I think a molle view it will be!

I have the rear Molle and love it. It does not bother me while driving. My only gripe is that I need to figure what to clean the window with that will not cause water spots each time it rains etc. otherwise will have to remove to clean the rear window each time.

Yeah, if I did not have the WolfBox, I would still have the same view lol. So yeah, need to consider that. I have a good spot to put inside, I think that is where it will be and I'll call it a day. I have the 3rd brake light hooked up now. SO let me finish this and button her up.
Thanks.

Good YT vid of the 2Door version, but lacks what I wanted to see. I’d love a video of the specs, detailed feature / options walk through. Etc.
I was told recently that the hardtop is approximately 2.5” taller than the OEM top. This is an important spec as my 2Door barely fits in my garage as is. So learning more about the height add would be key.
I’m also curious about weight.

Hey, as of yesterday, there are a few spots left on the next batch.
2 door - only come with a square back with a slight tilt, they say.
Team 2 door....
