I got a crack within the first 4 months of owning my Bronco, but after getting the bug deflector put on, I have not had any cracks or spiders. I do have pitting all over my glass though..
Toyota has an ARB bumpered TRD pickup. I think ARB has a very well established name and would be a great possibility for a joint venture with the Ford Bronco.
I have the RTR mounted on the RTR Plate. I hold a standard Nato jerry can without any issues. My shower system looks to be the same wavian water carrier, and needed only very minor heat to mold to the top of the mount. The fuel can doesn't lock which worries me.
Dealer Cost for a Hard Top is $5k. Retail price is $5500 No Returns

I would say the Mid Package is the Minimum package you would want.. Heated seats, intelligent access are things you use everyday..
The things I see that people get rid of are the Rock rails, Door Bags, and Soft top..
I don't have the same 2 pull experience as some of you do, but I did notice that if you pull from the back end of the handle, the sensor does not recognize a hand until you pull on it.. So if you put a finger in the opening to pull on it, the sensor will not catch your hand. Try different...
