oh absolutely. There is definitely a lot of bad advice out there. And there is also advice that is objectively OK, but itās coming from somebody who has different goals or perspectives. Anything related to suspension gets really tricky. Good luck!
Yup. Lots of rabbit holes to go down. But a ton of people here with lots of experience who have dealt with many different situations so itās a great resource.
OK did some more research including visiting two dealers today. Iām pretty sure I know which part number it is based on comparing how my two propose alternatives seem to fit. Picture below of the one I think it is. Iāll report back.
you know, it is possible they wonāt rub without spacers. Assuming you remove the crash bars, thereās quite a bit of room in there. I only needed the spacers because I went with aftermarket coilovers that had a reservoir and my 285/70/17ās (11.2ā wide) almost certainly wouldāve rubbed the...
Interesting. I stand corrected. I think itās because I was looking at the build and price options for 2026 and there was no carbonized gray roof available as an option. It was probably a 2025 thing only. Thatās going to be very very hard to find.
So I started my search probably late in 2025...
Ducati, any way to tell which of the last two pictures I sent is the more recent part number? Iām thinking that insert design evolved and the later design is improved for wind noise.
I assume your goal is to prevent rubbing, not aesthetics? I think either should do the job just make sure to get good quality spacers. I use 1.4ā spacers on mine with no problems. You may need to remove your crash bars. Otherwise the issue will be how much poke you want beyond your fender...
yes but you asked for a painted top in black or carbonized gray. My point is there is no painted carbonized gray top. The only gray painted tops are avalanche gray and marsh gray. For what itās worth those are going to be incredibly rare. You have a much better chance of finding a black...
Ducati, the plot gets thicker. I havenāt confirmed yet, but I believe I have the seal I was looking at. However, after reviewing a bunch of online photos, it looks like thereās a modification to a trim piece that might be the problem. The first few pictures (if my order uploading them is...
So I just switched mic top with a used painted top. However the front side panels of the rear cap have a lot of flexibility (right along the vertical edge of that cap thatās next to the rear seat windows). See picture below. If it matters, my top has the white panels inside with the black...
š no he was a nice younger guy who was actually rebuilding a salvaged badlands. He wanted a white top, but didnāt want to pay to repaint this one. He wasnāt sure what he would do with the MIC top Frankly, he can probably get at least 2500 for.the MIC top I traded him so total value of at...
Problem solved! Bought a painted black roof in exchange for my MIC roof and very reasonable cash. I love not paying Fords exorbitant parts prices. Thanks all for advice.
