That one is by far. I've had the Bestop, and the 1st iteration of this one and the last version was the best bikini top I've had on a Jeep, Bronco, etc. PM me if you are interested in buying (or anyone for that matter). I went a different route altogether.

I found this out as I removed the back seats and put them in storage bags, it makes them fit in the bag easier. I wonder.........if I went to sell, would people rather have them put back in or stay removed? I guess it depends on the buyer. It definitely wouldn't fly on a trade-in.

A bit early - and technically it was this weekend. I thought about trading the Bronco for a truck, only because I spend a good bit of time with surf or mtb gear in it, but........honestly with no back seats, it's probably a better solution than a truck.

This is the answer, unless it leaks......I wouldn't worry with it. My 2 door hard top has been on and off probably 15 times, so it's spent probably 40% of it's life hanging in my garage which probably helps. It looks perfect to me, and honestly, I think is quieter and better than the JL top...

Yeah......the cloth seats I'd pass on to be honest, MGV holds up so much better to sand/salt, etc. Soft top I wish Bestop would come out with a squared off soft top instead of the Slant Back. Mojito is a cool color, but if you want a manual, Bronco is the only way to go.

Yeah, this is one thing with Ford I value, same with Jeep. I can build what I want for the most part and not have unnecessary crap added on. That's a huge problem with looking at a Tacoma, you can't find a manual TRD Off Road without $3k of extra crap like mats, charging cables, and screen...

Agreed - honestly.....I see a ton of Broncos (mostly tourists) but 90% are 4 door and either Cactus Gray, White, or some shade gray. If I had to pick a color now it would be VB, my favorite is Cyber Orange, but I didn't get built in time to get that color. I don't get the big deal with the V6...

I'm just glad they ended Eruption Green, I've seen way too many around.

100% - I'm kinda with you, I have a 2 door, no back seats. Basically just pack up a cooler, the Gazelle T3x and mtb gear typically. Ozark Trail 2 burner fold up camp stove, a cast iron pan, and a percolator for coffee. One other thing I have added (although I already owned it) is a RinseKit...

Hold up what is this speak of Orange Fury?

Don't feel bad, I was cleaning that compartment out (it likes to trap sand) and I was like wtf is this wing bolt for.....then I looked this up.

I mountain bike, and rarely carry my keys for the sole purpose of I've lost them on a mtb run. I was lucky and found them after some poor soul felt pity on me and shuttled me 3 times up the mtn so I could search on the various downhills I made. I hide my keys under the car like everyone else has...

Yeah, I know, I'm honestly (hopefully) not really worried about the drivetrain that much. I know that's the crux of this conversation, so good point.

Yeah ditto, I was $4k differential between it and a '25 Tacoma TRD Off Road, I actually went through and put a deposit in and they couldn't get it from another dealer. I was a little upset, but a little relieved because I did not want to see the Bronco roll away to another owner. It's just so...

Yeah, simple enough, change the oil regularly.......use synthetic. I'm at 2.5 years and coming up on my warranty (36k miles). My plan with the Bronco goes back and forth, normally I run a vehicle until it's pretty much dead (XJ - 240k miles, JK-190k miles). I'm finding myself more and more...
