  1. Bestop Trektop Updated Version Installed

    Good to know. I was looking at that bag as well. Do you have a 4dr or 2dr? Does it matter for the bag?
  2. ā‰ļøSwapping from Hardtop to BesTop TrekTop and back?

    I've actually had 3 Jeep soft tops my manly friend. 30 years of owning Jeeps. None of the tops were this difficult. With the Jeep, I could grab the side of the top from the ground (on 35's), and walk it up to the front or walk it back. Never had to stand up inside the vehicle to fold it like...
  3. ā‰ļøSwapping from Hardtop to BesTop TrekTop and back?

    So I just had my dealership install my Bestop Trektop on my 2 Dr this week (dealer installed option). Love the top. Looks great. But hate having to fold it up and down. I'm not quite a girly-girl, but I'm not the Hulk either. And I have to get up inside the Bronco to fold it back. And...
  4. Dealer Installed Options...do they really install them?

    So after much consideration I opted to drop the top and my Bronco off at the dealership. I went with the mindset that if something goes wrong THEY installed it. Not me. It’s also going in for its first oil change and tire rotation. I asked .. are you rotating 4 or 5 tires? Response: Oh, we...
  5. Dealer Installed Options...do they really install them?

    I’m totally tool capable. And wouldn’t mind the challenge. I’m tempted to tell the dealership F U after the whole $1,000 BS if I didn’t have to keep them on my good side since there’s not a lot of Ford service places around me. And plus it’s finding 5 solid leave me alone uninterrupted don’t...
  6. Dealer Installed Options...do they really install them?

    I haven’t scheduled any service appointment yet. I’m still debating if I want to do the PITA install and know it’s done right (and if it’s wrong it’s on me) - OR - have some now bitter Service Advisor / Tech install it half ass and I have leaks and rattles to deal with…..Hmmm…..jury is still...
  7. Dealer Installed Options...do they really install them?

    I have an UPDATE! Well lo and behold, after I sent the Ford DIO Bulletin and my window sticker to my Service Advisor, he called back, and that f bogus $1,000 install cost magically disappeared!! Well whaddyaknow. How about that šŸ˜ I love this forum. Thanks folksšŸ‘šŸ‘
  8. Dealer Installed Options...do they really install them?

    Thanks for that post. I went through it, pulled out the dealer DIO bulletin, and sent it to my dealership. I also wrote to Ford about the dealerships response.
  9. Dealer Installed Options...do they really install them?

    The dealership just called me back and said it's an extremely difficult top to put on and it's going to take hours to install and would cost me about $1,000!!! I pushed back of course, and sent an image of my window sticker to the Service Manager. Stay tuned......
  10. Dealer Installed Options...do they really install them?

    Thanks for the response. I've read some stories about it taking 4 hours to put the soft tops together and what a P.I.T.A. it is. But I also don't want to be the first soft top the dealership has installed, either. And realize afterwards I could have done a better job after all. The option...
  11. Dealer Installed Options...do they really install them?

    So my window sticker has the soft top showing under Dealer Installed Options. My Bronco was delivered in February with the hard top. The soft top was shoved in the back boxed up. Now it's July. And I'm ready to put on the soft top. What are your thoughts on me asking my dealership to...
  12. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Same here. Diagnosed at mileage 19. Had 1200 miles when they finally got around to replacing the whole tranny. No noise. I'm at 2100 miles and still no noise.
  13. Seconds thoughts (remorse) about my Badlands

    I agree. I have the 1 Badlands 2 Sasquatch 3 Lux. And I'm never gonna use it to it's full potential (locking diffs, sway bar disconnect, crawl gear). But there were things I (and the wife) wanted (black leather trim, heating steering wheel, lift and tires) and the combination of the 3 gave...
  14. TopLift Pro 2-Door Bronco Top Removal Tool

    Are you concerned about the contact points between the lift and the hard top causing any damage by the pressure? I read some folks using a square piece of plywood that touches all the contact points and having that in between the lift and the top.
  15. another ford accessory that doesn't fit....

    The cover states 4-door. Do you think it will fit a 2-door?
  16. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    That's how I feel too. I got the "A" installed this week. (eeek) But right now, 30 miles later, no noise. And if it comes back, I'll have them put in another one. Easy peezy lemon squeezie.
  17. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    UPDATE Brought the Bronco in first thing on 5/15 and picked it up the next day, end of day. The Ford Customer Careless Specialist said it was the new transmission. The Service Advisor Rep said it was the new transmission. The customer service invoice says MB3Z*7003*A. o_O So far, no noise...
  18. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Did they give you a part number for the transmission?
  19. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    So the stealership called last Tues 5/9 to tell me the new transmission was set to arrive at the Ford warehouse on Fri 5/12. And from there, it's supposed to go to a Distribution Center to determine which tranny goes where, then off to shipping. Stealership calls 2 days later Thu 5/11, and...
  20. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Did you show the Parts Dept the 2 screenshots that had the Merchandiser Remarks "ORDERS TO BE PLACED ON NEW LEVEL: MB3Z7003-E"? I was going to talk to my Parts Dept today and show them the images, but I don't want to look like a donkey either....
