@DaveInSA good to know!
Winter 2023 dealership could''t find part number for top or individual pieces to assemble, nor order after multiple visits or calls :ROFLMAO:
Gave up on OEM, glad for MANY reasons, especially If I'm on road and wanna take off front AND back top pieces off, where the...
In all fairness @Turn Offroad your tops are a great option too, but FOR ME in 2nd place. The closed rear seat is a deal breaker, plus the Armadillo design is so cool, best sound deadening, the gull wings, the molle panels, safeness of aluminum in an accident is better, but that doesn't mean...
Given far superior design and quality of Armadillo tops, going all in, despite price and wait time:
- Only aftermarket top with full open air experience ie removable roof inserts front and back seat
- Only top where front and back seat top inserts fit snuggly into back of vehicle
- Only top...
LOVING these ideas on lighting mounted to Armadillo top @B22-2023 and @Slei ! Mounting inside gull wing and hatch back so when opening at night you can have a light is SO slick 👏 Do you wire power directly into the harness or do you use a marine battery or simply internal batteries for camping...

I'm all about the Gobi Rack Armadillo collab featured at Sema:
- VERY strong beefy rack
- Decades long track record for off road roof racks
- Mounts to the body, not the roof
- features ladders to ease in loading gear up top etc
- more mounting points for pull out shades + other accessories...
@sleidel Glad to offer up my 2021 4 door Badsquatch V6 soft top for audio testing if it helps, I'm in SF. Gratitude for having the knowledge, the gear and kindness to test for the benefit of the community!
Armadillo has a number of roof rack collabs then you can add rooftop tent. Gobi Racks has a great track record, been around for decades, their stealth rack for Bronco is sweet, perfect for Armadillo square back, beefy, more mount points, side ladders, etc.
Gobi rack also keeps open air...
Great interior molle storage tip @SierraBronco and nice lock box, which model is that? Do roof panels still fit in back as designed with that lock box?
One of the BIGGEST armadillo selling points for me is front + back seat open air experience + ability to store all roof panels in back when on...
Thank you @Splint3r for diving in and wrangling data! I shared my initial findings w Fabian and then afterwards unfilled orders on this thread were filled, so felt like that was progress. With my work schedule and family responsibilities right now, following along when I can but currently have...
Thank you for responses. Starting a new business of this kind is no easy task, especially early on concurrently while in the design phase. SO much care and thought has been put into design, responding to consumer marketplace feedback etc, it's likely one cause of many for delays.
In the end...
Hey everyone!
Per my query in recent post, collecting data in hopes of gaining traction towards a resolution to get YOUR orders filled ("selfishly" so others like me can order with confidence). Obviously, the win for everyone is for Armadillo to succeed.
Combing thru all posts in thread found...
Another Armadillo post on Facebook today showing awareness to get orders out 🤞
Curious current status of outstanding orders from each person on this thread waiting to get top and current wait time? Would help inform those waiting/wanting to order if we could track those orders needing to get...
LOVE my Gobi Stealth Rack, SO solid, excellent design and quick release perfect for my soft top. Still building out for overlanding. If I can get an Armadillo hardtop, I'll swap out for the new Gobi design just released at SEMA.
Yeah my MPG average is pretty bad, 12.5! I drive city mostly w a small stretch of freeway to visit family. Tried low octane unleaded, high octane unleaded, economy GOAT mode, still 12.5! 4 door Badlands Sasquatch 2.7 soft top. I almost always have the top down , so the heat is often on plus...
