I'm reviving this thread as the hard top is about to come off for the summer. I think I was order #12 or something from him, I have the V1.0 model. I've e-mailed him about an upgrade possibly, but honestly, the V1.0 has worked really well minus the gap at the front roll bar.
So.......2...
Arrived yesterday, not bad. I made a few small cuts on the sides. The hump in the middle looks more so in the picture than it actually is, I'm putting some weight on it to get it down.
I may do something to keep it anchored, but so far, loading just some kite gear in it, it stayed in place...
I ran with one seat for a few weeks, it allowed me to get a kiteboard in there and kite gear, but I couldn't get a foil (hydrofoil), and honestly it just got in the way even more so. The actual seat removal is easy, I'm not sure how difficult it would be to reinstall but probably not something...
Ahh, I haven't actually removed the seat belts just in case I decide to trade/sell it at some point, figured that was one more step. I did do the fix to keep the airbag light off and have that tucked up under the cut out. I like that setup, but I need something completely waterproof.
Yeah, no problem. The mat was delayed a bit on Amazon, next Saturday. The back seats are in my attic in Freedom top bags (from my JL that I traded for the Bronco).
Ordered, for $85 probably worth not destroying the parts of the frame that are showing from the rear seat removal (I don't have Goose Gear or anything, just yanked the back seats out).
Yeah, as someone who came from the Jeep V-6/manual both the JK version and the Pentastar in the JL. The Bronco has way more power and is more fun to drive as a manual than the JL, that's mostly because the JL's clutch is extremely vague and problematic.
I'm kinda interested in this.....my use case - I pretty much throw my kiteboard/surf/mtb gear in the back so it gets covered in sand pretty easily. I would like something that is cheap, waterproof, easy to vacuum and provide a layer of protection from the washout interior in the rear...
Removed the rear seats week 1, bikini top, tailgate table really nothing else needed in my opinion. If I off-roaded/travelled more at night I'd add ditch lights. 2023, 6MT, 27k miles, going strong.
Yeah, I go no doors quite a bit with the Bronco actually, road trips usually doors go back on. Four or five hours of going 80 mph with no doors gets old fairly quickly.
I run hardtop October - April, bikini top/no top the rest of the time. There's a few caveats to that:
1. Garage kept
2. Work from home, so.......typically I miss afternoon showers (I live in the SE)
3. Washout interior if it does get wet.
The bikini top is the broncocanvasbimini top that...
I'm right there with you, I had a TJ, JKU,JLU, and pretty much I run the hard top 6-7 months, and a bikini top the rest of the time. I have the MGV and washout, and had Armorlite in my last Jeep before moving to the Bronco, and I live in the Southeast where it can rain daily. Luckily, I keep it...
Nope, I just filled in the spots where the frame are exposed with leftover Armorlite material from my JL, and left the flooring as is. It's covered in sand quite a bit, we will see how it holds up over time.
