I replace the rims with TireRack, and got Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S 285/70R17. The rims are still 17X8.5 +35. They did not have these grey six spoke Alpha-Delta back in November. Under 72LB altogether. Have to keep the one installed rim-tire set as the spare wheel.
It is true that after market parts do not enjoy the sale volume. However, for the hard tops, a half of the design has to copy the MIC top, otherwise the new top won't fit the Bronco for installation. The shape above the bottom edge can be changed by the designers. The materials like fiber-glass...
Thanks! I did saw the pricing 10 months ago, but cannot trust my memory. $2000 was roughly what I had in mind. If we are right, an MIC top was around $2000, a stock soft top would be ~$1300. Shipping cost will be a lot, if shipped separately from the Bronco.
It is hard to understand the pricing.
(1) One can buy a soft 4 door bestop for $1400.
(2) The upgrade from a stock soft top to MIC is $700.
(3) The ADV hard top is $5750 now.
Question: How much is it to buy a stock soft top along? $5000+ ?
Building week shifted from 02/14 to 02/28, by Ford email. Building day shifted from 02/15 to 02/29, although it's called March First (from calling my dealer). 1-800-334-4375 told me they do not have building day to tell us anymore, because it's floating around.
