Take the vehicle back to stock as much as reasonably possible and sell all your mods/accessories on FB. I got about $33k trade for my 22 non sas Big Bend with about 40k miles on it and another $8k or so selling all my accessories on marketplace (a big chunk of that was the hard top). Only had to...

I switched to 33” KO2s on mine and it deff rode waaaay rougher even with them being C rated. If you aren’t gonna off road it (or do anything more than light trails) I’d stick with an SL/P rated all terrain… deff much nicer to drive on a daily basis. 33” tires are nice bc lots of standard load...

I’ve owned both the safari Bestop and the access Bestop biminis - you can’t really keep it on under the hardtop. First off, there isn’t really a way to take the middle panel on/off easily even with the zippers and the latches for middle row also don't work well with it… the Bimini has to kind of...

I see brand new ones in their shipping containers all the time for about $1,000 on FB market. I’d hold out for one of those to be honest… used ones usually go for about the same.

Will end up being over $30k easy after the options everyone will want and then you have a vehicle smaller than a maverick, with poor range, no towing capability (I’m assuming), no AWD. I applaud the idea but it would be silly not to just pay what will likely end up being $5-$7k more for a...

The more crucial things to have are deff a good tow strap, soft shackles, & traction boards but a winch does give you peace of mind when going alone or if doing the tougher trails (two things I don’t do with a newish $40k+ vehicle) so the winch is kind of overkill and just makes extra noise/adds...

Hidden winches r nice to look at that’s about it. Personally I want my winch in a position where I can see it working in action, being able to monitor how it is spooling up, etc. IMO the factory Warn winch is the way to go especially at its current price like u mentioned. Get the cover for it...

Also missing the ARB Base roof rack setup…

Yep that’s why I went with the Bestop version too. Don’t love the branding on it but not that big of a deal.

I’m not sure if this has been confirmed or denied yet, but it seems if you buy the “ford” branded Trektop (the version listed on ford’s website for example) it does not have the Bestop logo but if you buy the Trektop from Bestop or most other retailers it seems it does come with the logo...

I also came from a gutless ‘17 Tacoma. Bronco much nicer to drive but I absolutely would not own it if I also did not have a utility trailer. Was surprised the Bronco is only slightly larger than a Tacoma on the inside so if you want a roomier interior the Bronco is disappointingly not much of...

Another thing to note which I discovered after owning the Bestop and hardtop for a while is the garage logistics. With the standard non sas suspension and 32” or 33” tires the Bestop fit under my standard garage door just barely with the top flipped back which was great. When I added the...

Yeah those are my leading candidate other than nets so glad to hear you like them. At least they are soft and don’t stick out super far.

Has anybody found a cheap version of the OEM door nets? I prefer their low profile and look vs. the plastic add-ons, etc - just want to be able to swap new ones in when they inevitably get stretched out after a while. Does this kind of thing exist yet on the market? The OEM ones are way too...

I have the Bestop and hardtop. The Bestop is definitely not user friendly to take on and off. That being said if you are only going to do it at the start and end of cold weather seasons it’s not THAT bad… the initial install/assembly is a big project though.

Sounds like you might have dropped the dreaded “c” word too soon which is always the ultimate deal killer - they wanted you to walk most likely. Don’t let that slip till the deal is done and you are in front of the finance manager!

I’ve used a Yakima Longarm in the hitch with a Yakima Easy Top pad on the rollbar crossmember when the top is totally off. I also have used a hitchmount-rack with a softop installed. A cheap trailer off FB market is honestly the best option though.

For just about any set of tires, my rule is that I replace them the first fall season after they reach 30k miles, so typically in the 35-40k range. If you live somewhere without wintry weather I’m sure you could go at least 5k longer before you really need to worry about it.

Ford is just trying to curb peoples’ reluctance to buy with the looming tariffs and dealers are also waaaay overstocked right now. You are going to get a good deal well below invoice right now if you have any negotiating skill whatsoever whether Ford offered this program or not. It’s mostly just...
