I needed some shelving space in the back to maximize storage of my work equipment. Ended up purchasing the JCR Offroad Rear cargo basket... The installation was super easy, just mounts via a bracket over the existing top cap bolts. The shelf is super light but very sturdy. Had to add some rubberized material to the bottom due to stuff sliding around. Ended up using a yoga mat cut to size and adhered with 3m 77 spray.

Replaced the Big Bend Vinyl Fender Decals with the retro Bronco Script badging.
Wow, what a difference. So much better! Really do not understand why they didn't do this from factory.

Decided to place the original Big Bend Vinyl decal on the rear window.

First drive with the freedom panels removed. They are surprisingly light, but still a bit awkward to remove. Ordered a Bestop Sunrider to make the process much easier.

Finally got my Tow Hitch installed. This is a dealer installed option.

Installed the Bestop Sunrider. This is the latest revision of the flip back top with a simplified installation. The revised version has fewer parts/hardware and also includes 2 additional support brackets on the back side. Overall a simple installation, but it did require some adjustments to the hardware as well as the stock oem latch brackets.
I will be creating a more detailed post soon.
