I’m curious if there is any difference between the full one piece top and the modular top in sound quality.

Thanks for posting the link...

Wow! Now, I REALLY want them to make one for the 2DR. Impressive workmanship @ADV Fiberglass. Flat storage is a game changer.

Flat storage option is pretty cool. Love the overall look of this and will definitely be keeping ADV in mind if/when I decide to go another route for the hard top.

That gloss black painted top is

Would get scratched to shit though on the trails, so wouldn’t work for me. More of a mall crawler option.

Just put my order in do r one today, for store pick up, figured the 4th would be a good day to order a bronco aftermarket hardtop!!

Lots of people say this but it doesn’t make much sense to me. The body is covered in paint it will also get scratched too lol. So shadow black broncos are all mall crawlers?

I wouldn't mine waiting if I didn't pay up full price. What ever happened of putting down a deposit, say $250-$500, and you lose that deposit if you canceled. Giving $7-8K and waiting for more than a year is nuts. If I invested that money with an average ROI of 5-6%, I would have earned more than $400 already.

I don’t know why people keep on whining. we knew we had to pay up front. We knew there is a global supply meltdown. We know this company has quality products. It getting delayed wasn’t a surprise.

I imagine it was extremely expensive to get this product to market. Imagine the number of orders they would have gotten with a $250 deposit. Imagine you thinking you need 10x the raw materials than you really need. Because a dude putting down $8000 is serious. The dude only willing to do $250 doesn’t give a crap, he will move to product x because it’s cheaper or faster to market. That‘s how companies go bankrupt.

If you are worried about the ROI on $8k, you don’t need to be buying unnecessary things like this top.

I don't disagree with most of your points - I think the "blame supply chain" for the delays is behind us (for this top I mean).

The target keeps moving, and moving, and moving and it just gives a false set of expectations. I appreciate some of this is out of their control, but the issue holding things up was this rubber shipment - which has arrived and is being installed on the tops. If there's units done and ready to ship, then start cranking them out is all we're saying.

Fair point. I wonder if they are going to freight a lot at a time to save on shipping. I bet the process of getting these packed up is much more involved than they anticipated too.

I don't disagree - But someone a few pages back mentioned that several units were packaged up and ready to go. I can't image they can fit THAT many onto a 53 ft trailer to be picked up. I'd be trickling them out of there as I had a full trailer worth ready - To free up space and to get them to customers.

I realize I don't work in manufacturing and there's other elements at play that I may or may not be aware of, but it's just frustrating.

I’d also think getting some into the hands of eager customers would go a long way toward increasing future sales. If this thing is of the quality it appears to be, there are going to be a lot of happy customers leaving reviews once they are out in the wild.

Well, I heard back from them this morning. My order is shipping into September now apparently, so that's confirmed I wasn't a day 1 purchaser, but ordered in November 2022. Hoping some of you folks get yours in August at least.
