I am in NY and bought my 2 door from a dealer in Maine. Did the whole thing over the phone and they delivered it Christmas Eve. I had to have it inspected here in NY ($10) and paid my NY sales tax at DMV when I registered it.
We swapped out the tops on our Wrangler yesterday. Changing on the Bronco Monday. I'll try the cover from the Wrangler to see if it fits or can be rigged to fit while waiting for something to be created for the Bronco. Will report back here.
I've searched but have not seen info either online or here on the forum regarding a tonneau cover for the 2 door. Does anyone know if there is one available?
I went through this process last fall and have posted about my experience. You can find them at msrp (or you could in December) but they might not be exactly what you are looking for and they might be many thousands of miles away (depending on how far you search). It seems like it’s even more...
Many threads on this topic. The torx bits included in the Bronco tool kit are standard torx bits and they do indeed fit in the bolts on the modular bumper BUT they are not the correct bits. They will strip the bolts if you try. You need a Torx+ 40 bit for the modular bumper. I purchased the...
Soft tops aren’t supposed to be like brakes. You shouldn’t need a new one while you own the Bronco unless something weird happens to it. As the OP said with his Jeep - I’ve had the same soft top for my 2014 wrangler since I bought it used. It still looks like new besides some scratches on the...
What tools did you need for this? I saw another post with a list of the Torx bits used - were the correct Torx bits in the Ford kit or did you need Torx plus as well? Anything you ended up using that you didn't initially have on hand?
I have yet to install my bestop soft top on my 2 door yet but I had been driving a 4 door wrangler for the last 4 summers and I would say that 90% of the time I have the side and rear windows off and the top flipped back when driving around town here. Sometimes I'll flip the top closed without...
I am a little north of you and still waiting for it to be a bit warmer before installing my Bestop. Should be soon. How was the install? Did you do it yourself or with helpers and how long did it take?
I went with 275/65/18 Falken Wildpeaks. There are two options -SL or E rated. I was looking to avoid the E rating that most of the 275/70/18s have so went with the SL rated. Also why I picked the Falkens.
Looks awesome. That’s next on my list after swapping my top for the Bestop soft top I have here waiting for consistent nicer weather.
I switched to Falken Wildpeaks 275/65/18 -SL rated. Another non-E rated tire for consideration.
I was planning on buying the Bestop in April but pulled the trigger this weekend when I saw the price increase coming.
How long did the soft top install take and did you have help?
Many of the 4 door wranglers have soft tops where the front section of the top folds back like the Bestop and also folds all the way back like the Ford OEM. As someone who drove their wrangler 100% of the time with the top flipped back (like the Bestop) for ~4 years I can tell you that I never...
I stayed with the same wheels on my OBX and got new tires through my local Ford dealer for a very good price and was able to use my Ford Pass points. I was kind of surprised at the price they quoted ($255/tire vs $280 on Tirerack.com right now) - wouldn’t have even checked if I didn’t have the...
