I bought a badge relocation kit from https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/badlands-badge-to-grill-relocation-kit.27706/ and then I just attached it to an old tow cover hitch.
I sold my 2019 Ranger, and I do miss the ability to load stuff into the bed of the truck. I knew I wasnāt going to have that option with my Bronco. How often do you your truck bed? I only used the truck to load wood every once in a while and transported my mountain bikes. My Ranger was awesome...
We initially had a MIC top on order but with the fiasco going on with the MIC top, I made the change the first deadline in July I believe. Wife wasnāt happy, but I wanted my Bronco. She loves it now and we are super happy with the swap. Yeah the MIC looks better and you can put a roof rack on it...
My brother was a day two reservation holder (7/14) with the exact same build as me and same dealer. I switched to a soft top at the first deadline back in July I believe. I have had my Bronco since November 9th. Both have a BL's, SAS, Tow, 2.7l, High, but he kept his MIC top and I swapped...
Out in CA with my MGV BL's and it does get hot, but I am with @ATX_Bronco. I wouldn't change anything about my BL's Bronco. They cool down quickly and the AC rocks in the Bronco. In my opinion nothing to worry about, but a Bimini top would help if you are worried.
They get hot but once you sit on them, they are fine. I had my soft top back when it was high 80's in CA and it was hot. After the initial heat, they cooled down. I love the fact that they can be easily cleaned when my kids make a mess. That outweighs the heat from the sun. Not a deal...
Great write up. We bought our Bronco just down the road at Fullerton Ford (formally known as McCoy Mills). Same great service. I would recommend them as well.
Initially, we had a MIC top and changed due the delays and issues with the MIC top. Yes, the soft top is noisy, but we knew that was...
Reused an old tow hitch cover and cut it to the shape of the badge. Using a relocation kit from @colintrax, I screwed it to the old tow hitch cover. I am not sure is he is still making them.
