I got tired of dealing with the spots and the faded/discoloration, so I painted them. I was wrestling with DIY color matching vs a DIY black satin, but the family and I decided the black satin would go better with the stripes I had and the Armadillo top I got installed the next day. From the...
Think you meant works with Squareback, but yes. Thanks! I’m happy with how it came out. They use a welded shim back for the mount to the rollbar so if they removed 1-2 shims and used a rubber isolator to make up they height, that would give options for other accessories that mount there.. As is...
Armadillo Designs Hardtop installed… Love it..! I did a shop tour also and will upload more pics in the Armadillo thread. And… the M2M attic shelf worked, with some tweaks and adjustment to the rear door corner gasket that seals against the rail. They had to use a credit card to finesse more...
Checkout Pura Vida Offroad’s option, I’ve seen it works with the BRaptor. This was/is my backup option if the M2M doesn’t jive with the Armadillo….but Fabian and Sam from Armadillo thought it should work so I pulled the trigger…
I ordered the Squareback and pretty sure it won’t work with the Slantback. I’m not worried about the space, it’s similar to the soft top dimensions. However the concern is how the M2M top hinge plates secure to the top of the rollbar, which the Armadillo also mounts there. The M2M plates may be...
You can do in. 30 min, but took about an hour since I had to mount it to see which size washers I needed to use and then remount. Also time in there for the added 1/2” heat shrink to the latch pins. Stuff like these hard to find washers I always go to Ace Hardware, which I got 3 different sizes...
M2M Attic Shelf installed, which rocks. I was able to move a lot of my recovery gear up there. I installed a 1/8” rubber washer and then a 1/8” thick nylon washer at the top pivot of both sides to eliminate any rattles (suggested in another thread) and help center. I also used heat shrink on the...
So I can appreciate the detailed post and dilemma… This is usually me! So I think the center ones should be fine to use on the ends. I had the Wildtrak plastic bumper with the huge saucer clips, which are flat and no angle, but this didn’t really trigger one of my OCD issues for me, but I get...
I loved the idea of bringing back the Scout, but as a EV/Hybrid ruined it…
Bronco should be left alone, if anything add a V8, and focus on their original target audience and competition. They can add an EV/Hybrid Bronco Sport if they want, and given it’s target audience/competition, but they...
Yes pls update with what you find out. I like the GOBI, but worried about fitting in the garage with my lift. Their Trailrax setup is slightly shorter, but looks well integrated with the L-tracks.
Glad you read the description and caught this. I didn’t see the video on their site, then went to their YT channel as it wasn’t clear where this vid came from. I saw the description just after you posted this! I was about to get a bit upset… 🤣
Also note this on their site, under each top’s...
Anyone that's installed their top themselves, do you think a 3/16" bracket would fit under the AD hardtop rear crossbar mounting point? It looks like there's a slight dip on that cross bar, but the top mount is either thicker here or has a rubber isolator. There are also spacer plates installed...
That's my plan also, as well as some small quick access tools. I have some cheaper non-pocket style Broaddict molle's already, but they're open at the bottom. If their bracket that attaches to the soft/hard top mounting point extended the full length of the molle, it would box it in more...I may...
Cool, thanks for the info. Mine is going to powder next week. It looks like there's a slight dip on that cross bar, but the top mount is either thicker here or has a rubber isolator. There are also spacer plates installed on the side rails for the top. M2M says they use 14ga steel, so the plate...
Did you ever get a confirmation on if the Mountains2Metal flip down attic shelf would work? My AD top will be ready next month, getting installed the 28th and was wanting to also utilize this attic shelf.
