I imagine the panels would have to be cracked in half for them not to ship this time. Do you think they will be cutting any open to check for no foam voids? Fingers crossed for the USA made quality you are paying for.

Are We sure "USA MADE QUALITY" is necessarily a good thing?

Finally got the email and ecstatic that I am in Batch#2 (mid Feb) shipment. If they are true to their latest promise, they must be planning to crank these out in fairly high numbers since I just ordered it last May 🤔.

You do know that most of the parts in your Bronco were made overseas, right?

What has that got to do with anything?

It was the fact that they were sold with the impression that it was being made in the US. Were the gaskets and brackets and windshield wiper parts going to be sourced overseas...yes, probably from the get go. But the actual panels were being laid up and built in the US supposedly. That's why you are paying a hefty premium. CA wages and quality hopefully.

Essentially the same top being built in Mexico by TOR will be $2k less and their customers may even receive them before ADV customers.

Excited for you batch 1 dudes! Now I’m really curious to see who gets the first of the best aftermarket hardtops...ADV or TOR?
What is TOR ? manufacturer's name or an acronym for something?

Turn Off road. Another company offering a hard top at what seems to be a faster pace, without asking for full payment upfront.

When it comes to reliability, I will take a Toyota made in Mexico over a Ford made in Michigan any time of day

Just getting caught up. So cool the first "batch" of ADV hardtops are planned for a mid-January delivery (although they were also planned for delivery several times over the last couple years). This is a MAJOR milestone and deserves recognition on the perseverance of both the early investors, believers, and most importantly John and ADV for MAKING IT HAPPEN!!! #gamechanging This definitely warrants some cool videos or photographs of the first units coming off the assembly line, or maybe being loaded on a ship, or truck, or... umm...

Lets see first if they actually deliver in January, they made promises before.
