Driving back from the M1 concourse cars and coffee today. Lady turns into my lane and gets real close to hitting me. So I honk the horn - more than a light tap but definitely not at all hard.
the center of the steering wheel cracked in on itself….
I feel like this shouldn’t happen at 6,000 miles…
Furthermore, on my post above.
One of the tops Patriot Fastbacks is producing is made exclusively with sound in mind - they are attempting to produce a hard top that is actually quiet. OEM hardtop still measures at 72db which is LOUD
Do not forget about a hard top - @Patriot Fastbacks is producing two hard tops for the Bronco - they are currently a few months out from Production.
Hit them up and let them know you are eagerly anticipating them!
If I knew anything about fiberglass production, I would be all over this like white on rice.
I've scoped out Patriot Fastbacks real world building location and it doesn't appear to require all that much capitol..
Unfortunately I am about as ignorant as you can be to all of that, so I will keep...
and worse still - no real world data provided!
Okay, so its a hard top. Neat - what am I getting for $6.3K though?
At this point all I know is that I might be able to go through car washes..
What about sound level? You know, one of the most important aspects?
Zero data. Wont even respond on...
I appreciate the feedback man - its folks like you that make this community great. Bulldozing ahead and coming up with solutions for everything.
One last question - do you have a link to where you purchased the metal brackets you used to mount to the roll bar?
Talk to me about those rear speakers - Do you hear any rattle? I know you mentioned the furniture pads, but it seems there is always an unforeseen squeak or something in all vehicles.
Second - I know very little about speaker operation. If I simply swap my OEM rear speakers for those 6.5"...
Figured with such a robust community that perhaps someone would have some info.
Headed from Detroit down to Nashville in April.
Any neat off road trails along the way? Or perhaps in the general vicinity of the destination (being Nashville) ?
Just watched a video on their YouTube and a guy no older than 27 claimed to be one of the owners. Hmm.
yeah, I’m going to get some fat business loans and produce some hardtops.
OEM Styling, insulated. Done.
