Honestly that shipping rate isn't bad, especially if it was to a residential address
In all honesty the $700+ for ADV sounded reasonable at the time of order back in 2/22. But in reality $300 extra for the exact same service is just another upcharge. In fact, $100 or so of the TOR $400 delivery fee was the extra insurance I paid which I only did because I thought it was such a bargain and I wanted to make sure the shipping company took extra care (didn't want any delays by sending back a damaged top).

I have to admit, my stomach sank a little when the new announcements hit last week right after I canceled. Then I saw the details about the assembly (which at least now explains the $500 cost to do it on-site), and I felt pretty good again. For some folks with the time and skill, it could be a fun project.

Not for me, and not at that price point.
Yeah, I’m glad I canceled after seeing that. At that price point, I wouldn’t expect to do that much. And if it starts leaking are they going to claim it was my issue?

I have AF fenders & hood on my Bronco.
-The body shop I worked with was critical ahead of seeing them
-they were impressed with the product.

I like the AF concept with less overhead panels. I've been patiently waiting as I go through two winters in Vermont with a soft top, I am just about done and jumping ship to an Anderson top. Why?
-comes with all the parts attached to the top, assembled by the Anderson. I don't need an erector set. I did expect to bolt the two side panels & rear panel to the top, but I did not expect to be taking the time to line up seals, install levers & alignment pins, etc.
-finalizing with an Anderson dealer and will have the confidence that my third winter with the vehicle will have a hard top!

If you like the ADV concept with less panels, why not look at TOR?

I like the sound deadener in the anderson. I get that for $1500, it's a lot more, but I think overall it's a nicer fit / finish.. to be honest, I don't know a lot about the TOR and I guess I need to dive into the forums & videos, then place my bet..

There's a handful of folks on here who have received their TOR hard top and have posted reviews about them. Albeit early days, this post might be helpful.

"Assembled in the US!*"


















*Only applies if the customer lives in the US, since the customer must literally build the entire hard top
Unless you live in Canada. Then it would be "Assembled in Canada", since the buyer does all the assembly...

Have your kid assemble it, and then you can claim the hardtop was assembled by child labor. :)

Don't know what all the complaining is about - maybe the parts will include this:
